Silverbrow & Silverbrowess are leaving the country

We're off. Later this week, we will be departing these fair shores and balmy weather for the autumnal/arctic/sub-tropical continent that is South America. The current plan is to visit , , , in that order.

I will write when I can. It goes without saying that I will still be writing primarily about food, but there might be a bit of travel writing thrown in for good luck. Silverbrowess might even make an editorial appearance.

Adios for now.

Vaya con dios - and I look forward to reading how you are getting on.

You lucky sod! What I wouldn't give to go to Brasil! Have a great time Anthony, and look out for acaí, it's fabulous.

Cheers guys - and we do feel very fortunate.

Trig, am I right that acai is a palm? Is it's juice used in drinks?

[Trig]

Yes, right on both counts. When I posted on açaí a few months ago it was almost unheard of. The other day I found loads of it in Waitrose. It's one of the trendy "superfruits" that are supposed to have great health benefits. Like cranberry and other fruits with lots of anti-oxidants it is pleasantly astringent. The fruit and pulp don't travel, so it's either made into carton fruit juice or the pulp frozen. You can buy frozen açaí in Borough Market.

Have a great holiday and post some good food stories. Maybe you'll meet the hairy bikers while you are down there.

Great thanks for that Trig, will keep my eyes peeled for it.

As for running into the hairy bikers, that sounds quite disturbing on a number of levels, especially if you mean those two pains in the arses on TV.
