I appreciate your concern, but I just let him bite/lick it for the photo op. But I do agree that actually feeding him full portions chowder or crackers would be very bad. I feel my gatos much healthier proper cat food. The photos are just silly. 😹📸
Cinco de Mayo commerates the Battle of Puebla. In the 1860s, the French took advantage of the United States being distracted by the Civil War and invaded México. The French were very pro-Confederate at the time. They planned to use México as a supply line to assist the Confederates. On 5 May, 1863, a rag tag group of Mexican soldiers defeated invading/occupying French troops in an embarrassing defeat. This stopped the French plans to support the Confederacy and fueled a Mexican insurgence to drive out the French and return them to Europe.
In the early 20th century, a group of Latinos in Texas (Mexicans, Guatamalans, Hondurans, etc) wanted to celebrate a "Latino pride" sort of day. Ironically, they chose Cinco de Mayo since it was an unknown, never celebrated holiday that wasn't country X's independence day. And it took off from there.
You're right! The translation is such a disservice. That's why I prefer to simply use the Czech term, houskové knedlíky. My goal was to expand my cultural understanding by trying to make another country's food by hand. I'm very happy to say that I'm accomplishing that goal. 😻🇨🇿
You're not far off. I was aiming for a poor man's svíčková by learning to make the houskové knedlíky first. My goal for the coming weeks is to make svíčková entirely by hand and do even better with the houskové knedlíky.
One step at a time. I'm proud of my first step. 😺🇨🇿
Are you Hungary for my bad humor? I'll be here all night! 😹🇭🇺
Sorry how bad this humor is. I know it needs more Polish! 🇵🇱
Serious Answer: I was in the Czech Republic recently and really fell in love with some Czech food. I work from home and love to cook. So I wanted to see what I could recreate from home.
You're totally right! I corrected the post title.
