Subject: RE: BS: Vegan mudcatters
I bought some avocados recently as they were on offer. Some are still firm, but this is what I'm having for lunch soon as they're ready. A Peruvian inspired dish of avocado stuffed with quinoa salad: Peruvian nom nom
I very rarely buy fancy stuff like quinoa, but it makes pleasant change from couscous now and then, plus its supposed to be terribly good for you.

I have read that there are those who argue that 'we' shouldn't buy quinoa because demand is pushing up the price and it's starting to become too expensive for native Peruvians to eat, so they're turning to other food staples that have a less glamourous appeal to Western foodies, however I doubt the farmers themselves would disapprove too much of more people wanting to buy their produce? I wonder what others here think of such issues?
