Key West Tropical Drinks

And there are recipes for Hasta La Vista Baby & Key West Margarita cocktails printed on the back of the card! Hmm...I am really tempted to try these colourful drinks but, hey, can anyone help make equivalent mocktails rather than cocktails for me?  ;-)

Aubergine Borshch


Sender: Alenaks
A Recipe for Aubergine Borshch
It shows the ingredients on the front of the card and the recipe on its back.

Borscht, which is sometimes also spelled borsch and borshch, is a vegetable soup that is almost always made with beets. The use of beets in this soup lend the dish a vibrant red color. The recipe on this card is suitable for vegetarians as there is no meat in it whatsoever. 

I'll definitely try to cook it for my family.

Chinese Hodgepodge


Sender: Emillin
A hodgepodge of pepper, seafood, bamboo shoots and chilli.

Sounds delicious Emillin, but I've never been fond of bamboo shoots myself despite it featuring in local dishes here. I should learn to love it!

Louisiana


Sender: Alabama-Ranger
Text on card: Louisiana ~ We're really cookin'!!
A trip through Louisiana will reward you with a unique variety of foods and drinks. Creole and Cajun cooking offer everything from Crawfish to Alligators. "We're really Cookin'".

I like to eat and I'd like to think that I'm rather adventurous in sampling a variety of foods. The seafood in the picture tempts me. But the card description which includes alligators... Err...no matter how adventurous I am, I don't think I can stomach alligators. Even if their taste can be likened to chicken or fish or some other more usual meats. Sorry! (Runs away screaming).

Cuisine Regionale ~ L'Eclade de moules

Help! I need the proper translation for the words in the right panel of this card...I did try to use the internet translator but the sentences sure sounded weird. I think it is a mussels bake recipe though.

Let's Cook Okroshka!


Sender: Lena
Oroshka (Russian Summer Soup)

I was so happy to receive a recipe card for a Russian cuisine, a summer soup called "Oroshka". Since it is perpetually summer where I am, this would be the very thing to try! But I had to google "kvas" as I hadn't a clue what it meant. 

But I don't think we have it here....!!! :D

I love these! When I was a student I spent summer picking berries for jam-making & always picked too many and ended up making too many jars of jam!

Polish Foods




Sender: Jogusia
Traditional foods in Poland. 

Jogusia writes that she loves "Pierogi Ruskie" and "Oscypek". I googled them and found out that "Pierogi Ruskie" are stuffed dumplings and Oscypek is smoked cheese. I would like to try them and those pickles too!! I am very partial to pickles...

The World of Coca Cola




Sender: Bellesouth

Atlanta, Georgia
Adjacent to Underground at Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive and Central Avenue, The World of Coca Cola tells the story of its product from the beginning to the present with a look into the future.

I read that The World of Coca-Cola is a fun, interactive experience that explores everything Coke. I have never heard of this museum and the minute I got this card, I told my friends who love Coca Cola so much (and comb flea markets for Coca Cola memorabilia!) about it!

According to Bellesouth, in this museum one can taste the different flavours of Coca Cola from around the world and that while some taste pretty good, some are totally otherwise! I for one simply prefer the original Coca Cola and not the diet, nor cherry, nor vanilla etc. etc. versions...Have you got a favourite flavour? :D

The Best Cafe


Sender: Nordbaer
This is an ad card for a cafe in Germany. Showing the sweetest sun ever, says Nordbaer! Hmm..what will happen if the sun is really sweet? Will those with sweet tooth invent rockets to go and bite the sun?? :D

Text on card: "Dear...I'm enjoying the best cafe of the world. It's so delicious. Yours,...."
