“So, how
did it go?”
“Oh, you
know I like strong stuff… but it looked suspicious, and it had some floating
things. I couldn’t figure out what they were, for the life of me, and I think
some of it was meat, but I am not sure, and it had some yellow stuff, and…”
“Breathe!”
“I am not
quite sure if I liked it or not, to be honest.”
“Well, it’s
ok. Just… just relax.”
“I hate it
when people make me eat something that looks suspicious.”
“But why suspicious?”
“The
floating things, the floating things!”
“Umm… I was
just checking here. It’s just a stew with pork meat, beans or chickpeas, tomato
and vegetables. It actually looks quite delicious.”
“Oh, you
should have seen it…”
“It’s
slowly cooked and quite aromatic.”
“Really…?”
“Yeah, you
didn’t notice that? And listen to this. Its name comes from “poderida” or
“poderosa” as in powerful, because of the rich ingredients.”
“It
certainly was powerful…”
“I bet
you’re feeling quite energetic after that olla
podrida, aren’t you?”
“Well… Now
that you mention it…”
“See, it
wasn’t that much of a disaster after all.”
“Yeah,
you’re right. I feel quite chirpy actually.”
“There you
go. So, next week… chicken curry?”
“Oh. I
don’t know. Isn’t that too spicy…?”
“Well, it
has chicken and chicken is good. Curry is pretty awesome too. Rice does no harm
to anyone…”
“Yes, you’re
right!”
The power
of suggestion is a wonderful thing. Green chillies finely chopped are too, with
as many seeds as possible!
