Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Those donuts sound scary @eth but look SO good! I'd try them if I didn't know what they were made from 😁😉

Hey @Mazarita!

Mazamorra Morada
 

Mazamorra Morada is a typical Limeñan dessert. Made from Peru's unique purple corn which gives Mazamorra Morada not only its color but also its unique flavor, it's like a thick jelly with lots of different fresh and dried fruits.

 

We could have this with your yoghurt @MDT

@eth, you are doing some brilliant Peruvian dishes this feast! I nominate you head chef! Smiley Very Happy

@CheerBear, what did you have for dinner? Woman Happy

@MDT, hope Le Tour continues to hold your fascination. Hard day here (if you can call being in bed all day hard), but feeling a bit better this evening. Smiley Happy

@Former-Member, the full moon looked great in the sky tonight, whether behind clouds or clearly in view. I love the moon. Smiley Happy

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Haven't been to Friday Feast in ages, and couldn't think of what to bring.

Ice cream sandwich anyone?exps152615_RDS143481D05_02_1b

 

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Hi all, brief stop in.

I'd be curious to try cuy. I don't suppose it would be very different to rabbit- sort of the "quail" version of.

But for now I'll settle with this rather interesting sounding Peruvian dessert. Enjoy, all.

 

King Kong de Manjor Blanco – A Cookie Dessert

King Kong Peruvian Dessert

What is it: Rectangular cookies with layers made of fruits, flour, and nuts, it originated in the Lambayeque region of the northern coast of Peru. Initially having a round shape, it was known as Alfajor de Trujillo. During 1933, when the movie King Kong was released, many found similarities between the imaginary animal and the shape of the sweet in terms of its shape, hence it got the name “King Kong”.

What does it taste like: The cookie is complemented by caramel custard, Peruvian blancmange, peanuts, and fruit marmalade.

oh my god @TheVorticon, that is much better than a maxibon! Smiley LOL

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

I had some skittles for dinner and chocolate flavoured jelly babies for dessert @Mazarita 😁 How about you?

Loving the look and sound of those dishes @eth @TheVorticon and @Smc (mostly the ice cream sandwich one probably - don't even need to see the pic to know that!)

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

I used to love chocolate flavoured jelly babies, @CheerBear. I'd probably still like them now! That and black wild berry lollies. Smiley Tongue

Dinner was half a toastie with leftover shepherd's pie in it. I'm about to have a tub of strawberry greek yoghurt, inspired by @MDT.

@Smc, love the look of that, I'd definitely try it!

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

@Mazarita  I'm inspired enough to try some of these recipes irl - one of these days.

Saying goodnight to everyone now - time to get some sleep before a very early start to see the lunar eclipse.
