The Town That Cooks in a Volcano
Added 2022-10-22 18:00:06 +0000 UTCFurnas was an incredibly cool little town. They'd found a way to seamlessly integrate belching sulfur pockets into a cute botanical gardens and small town core. Multiple different unpleasant-tasting spring waters that are supposedly good for every other thing and stew cooked in the earth, just an all around cool little town.
I had only intended to visit on an off day, as a tourist. But once we got there, Francesco and Kata were adamant that I turn it into a story. They liked it, and I am nothing if not democratic.
I hope you enjoy it!
As always, thanks so much for taking part. We truly appreciate all of you!
Evan (and Kata)

I really hate the word "authentic" when it comes to food. Unlike most people in North America, I still live in the general area where my ancestors have been for at least 500 years. (I live in Europe) If I make a dish slightly differently than my mom who made it slightly differently from her mom and so on, how far do we have to go back to get to the "authentic" version? My version would maybe not be considered traditional, but it is made by someone who is authentically from this area.

2022-10-24 03:00:56 +0000 UTCReally? The volcano town is named a misspelling of "furnace"?
