A world of food from A to Z and us

The Prendergast family try a recipe from a different country every night.

Somalia Last night I mentioned that we really wanted to crack into the big, uncoloured spaces on our world map, so Somalia was a good place to start. We cooked a spicy fish stew, made with a selection of seafood, curry and tomatoes and served with rice. We have included a photo which is meant to show the big tentacly octopus on the top of Niamh's bowl, but it hasn't come out very well. I would just like to say how proud of the kids I am; it's a pretty big call to eat whole octopus in the name of experimentation, but they both did. Niamh actually ate the whole lot: squid, shrimps, mussels etc, a lot of which were new tastes for her. We all discovered some new and interesting flavours which we would not have otherwise tried...and I guess that's what this adventure is all about. We have the night off tomorrow as Niamh is having a pizza party, but are back into it on Thursday.

Hope the pizza party goes well,what do Carter and Mum and Dad get to have? I bet a lot of grown ups wouldn't try some of the things you are having. (I know Aunty Raewyn and Uncle Gareth would probably baulk at whole octopus!)
Perhaps you should go to France tomorrow, or Portugal, seeing you have already done Italy and Germany.
