In the States, when I make eggs I put garlic and black pepper, maybe tomatoes or cheese if I am feeling frisky. One thing that has surprised me the most about this country is the sense of spice in their food is practically non-existent. In the store, black pepper is located in a small section and is very expensive. It is not on any table, in any restaurant, that I’ve been to in 3 days. It seems the spiciest they like to get is with garlic (ajo) for the chimichurri sauces. Yesterday, I found McCormick’s black pepper for 15 pesos. So, today I was able to make a delectable breakfast (desayuno), my regular way, with garlic and pepper. Delicioso!
