It may have been nothing at all, as he was quite an unpredictable character by all accounts. I haven't actually read the Alexandria series but it's on my list. Another book I've recently read that you may find interesting is "The Way in the World" by Swiss writer Nicolas Bouvier, not dissimilar in type to Paddy Leigh Fermor's first pair of books. @Deb: Who knows what he was on?

I just eat what I like. I'm picky enough without worrying about whether or not it's the hot thing to eat. :-) I was definitely not aware of the Portuguese fad, but there is a decent Portoguese restaurant that opened in my neighborhood a couple of years ago. I don't go there too much because it's BYOB and I always end up drinking too much when I do that. You're making me think I have to go back there - or perhaps I should just make the soup and just stick to a single glass of wine. I ignore food trends. I just eat what I like.

Are you still in Japan? @Ruth: I remember reading some of your earliest posts on caldeirada and clams with chourico and being inspired. It's a shame Portuguese food hasn't taken off because it shares many of the characteristics that make Spanish food so popular - rusticity, simplicity, emphasis on great ingredients - but with much more obvious inspiration from their colonies. I also think that some of the duality one sees in the cooking of South America reflects the Iberian divide between the two nations. @Marc: welcome back! Are you still in Japan?

So good to see Portuguese recipes in someone else's blog too. and this is one of my favourite soups. You certainly did it justice!

Sorry I haven't been around much, lots of changes in the last year. This soup reminds me of a magical 3 weeks I spent in Portugal just before I moved to NYC. Though it looks like it's come a long way from its peasant roots as a way to stretch the chouriço:-) Hey guys! Sorry I haven’t been around much, lots of changes in the last year.
