Meat or fish? Check! Veggies? Check! Eggs? Check! Fruit & Rice? Check!! We buy meats and fish that are the freshest of fresh, fruits and vegetables so ripe they are almost falling off of the vine. We have all of the proper ingredients and components for a great meal, but something is just missing. Yes, wise men have said, “variety is the spice of life” with the operative word being “spice!”
Don’t be shy, get creative! If you want your meals to sing every time read on. Mother Nature provided them for a reason 🙂 Not to mention all of the Historic Explorers that traveled and searched the seven seas for us. Grazia, da Gama, Magellan, Christopher C. for introducing us to the multifaceted vines, leaves, bark and orbs of rich, flavorful history and for taking out the guesswork.
