This reminds me of a comment from Carl Sagan in ‘Cosmos’ “To make an apple pie from scratch you must first create the universe”
A very, very interesting breakfast. I think it qualifies as ‘don’t try this at home’… at least, not in France!

This is terrific! Thanks for a vicarious trip to the jungle on a cold, waiting-for-snow NY morning.

This is fabulous! The fish is beautiful. It would be great to try this.
I love a saying Val at MoreThanBurntToast has posted on her blog:
Be yourself, everyone else is taken.
Every time I read it I have to laugh a little because it tickles something in me but it’s one you just know is true and right at the same time.

Thanks Mary, that is great feedback. Sometimes I try to be like everybody else instead of doing what I know best.

From what I read, they are considered “armored catfish” so I can imagine them to be similar to something you may have had. Were yours armored or the regular kind?

No worries! I understood. I can imagine similar cooking methods in Indonesia.
