So imagine my delight at every hostel I stayed at in Argentina and Uruguay when each breakfast come complete with dulce de leche, the classic spreadable caramel that is liberally dolloped on desserts, cakes and even toast. No matter how dodgy the coffee, how tepid the ‘orange fruit drink’ or how stale the bread, there was always dulce de leche to smother it and more than compensate. My favourite way to eat it was as ‘Flan con dulce’, basically a crème caramel slathered in the stuff.

People often make (or buy) and give treats as gifts, anything from shortbread to jam; rich, wintery foods that will keep for months but when you think abou it, make little sense in the context of an Australian (summer) Christmas. Let’s face it, there are only so many chutneys and flavoured oils you can fit in your pantry. I never really understood why people would make food to give on the most food-laden day of the year. It's certainly not something I could be bothered doing.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2010/12/italian-paneforte-with-an-aussie-twist/feed/ 9 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2010/12/mousse-chocolate/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2010/12/mousse-chocolate/#comments Tue, 14 Dec 2010 19:13:19 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=398 Aren’t other peoples’ families zany? It always seems that way to me. When I was a kid, other peoples’ houses were just different; they looked different, smelled different, ran differently. To a six-year-old child, the familiar, their home, has no smell, no particular look, no discernible system of organisation. It just is. Our own environments are the very definitions of normality.
