She was taught at an early age how to make a fire and does a good job barbequing stuff. When I say stuff, what gets barbequed can be bizarre. So far she has prepared rabbit, frog legs (tastes just like chicken - in fact, almost everything tastes like chicken with the exception of chicken eggs) and alligator. One year, she had the idea of buying python steaks which seemed a real good one until I got to the shop and found out that frozen python steaks were $50 a pound. I think mountain oysters were what finally got barbequed that year. As for chorizos, there is a gentleman from Margoa, now based in Dallas, who makes the Goan variety for Christmas and/or on order. The rest of the year he produces chorizos for the Hispanic market. He does a good job and satisfies my requirements in Texas. Mervyn
