In Uruguay though we think it is ours ). One thing is for sure no Uruguayan or Argentinean that I know has ever used cumin or conraider. Argentineans use a lot more Chlli in their sauces and this is about the main difference in our Chimichurris. However Chileans love conraider and cumin in all their foods. In fact they a sauce called pebre that actually uses these two ingredients. Coriander Yuck yuckty yuck, it tastes like a soap I grew up with, it was called LUX basically bathroom soap.

Keep up the good work!

Hi, I really enjoy your blog and have nominated you for the “Inspiring Blog Award” There are a few rules to this nomination (these aren’t my rules, so do what you want…no pressure) you need to give a shout out to me, of course, tell us 7 things about yourself, true or otherwise, and then nominate 15 bloggers, that’s the tricky part, if you don’t have 15, don’t sweat it, just pass it on to someone….share the joy by following this link, http://my-sweet-addiction.com/2012/08/13/ramblings-about-candy-and-baking-can-be-inspiring-2/ …….and good work!
