Victorinox are great.I’m a whufstof man myself
My wife got me a crap ton of CutCo knives and assorted kitchen tools for my birthday a couple of years back; I’ve been in heaven ever since, when I’m enjoying my time as chef du jour.
Except this one time…

That’s awesome man! I LOVE morels and I miss our annual hunts…and so does my wallet!! They sell for $30/# or more and we used to make a KILLING at farmer’s markets!! One year we got 20# and that sure brought home the bacon 
I’ve never found chantrelles though…lots of lobsters and woodears but no chants

Any of you guys work with Peruvian cuisine? I have a real posh event tomorrow in some guy’s 6 million dollar mansion and of course he still has to try and impress and wants all Peruvian items and other stuff he has never had lol
This is what I am making for passed Hors D’Oeuvres so far;
- lomito saltado gran brujo
- Ceviche Mixto Leche De Tigre with local Snapper, Mussels, Clams and shrimp
- Pastel De Choclo
- Purple Peruvian whipped Potato “shooters” with Pancetta, Roasted Garlic and Creme Fraiche
I need 2 more items that will be passing friendly and would LOVE suggestions!
Alas I am just some ol’ white boy from Chi-Town and I have no ties to Peru in my vains

Yeah, FL is NOT the South. Heck the Southern population is eclipsed by all the latin immigrants and snowbirds. But oh well…I don’t have to live there!
Gumbo is great. I prefer another similar dish which I’ve made many times. Crawfish Etoufee. Here’s the recipe I use. Oh this stuff is the bomb, especially if you add just the right amount of ceyenne powder and a moderate shaking of Tony Chachere’s
You also need a good source for the crawfish tails. I get mine here.
