Thanks for mentioning those Staub cocottes which give me alternative idea for presenting individual serving pastel de lengua, mini serving cassoulet or even pate de foi gras. They are expensive at US$50 each. I have avoided the larger Staub pieces and would rather purchase the cheaper cast iron Dutch oven or other covered casseroles made by Lodge. But this mini cocottes are simply irresistible so I will add a few of them to my one and only Staub piece: a 9 in. skillet.

mia, yes paper napkins to absorb condensation from glasses. But nice starched cloth napkins and proper silverware for the meal… :)

sister, turns out it is a very descriptive word for a man’s appendage. Hahaha. I had no idea. And neither did the restaurant owners. The Cebuano word is luso, with the accent on the last syllable. bernice, with credit to source is fine. thanks.

Farida, I stand corrected, you are absolutely right. Been too long since I lived in Cebu! Thanks.

For those of you stopping by NYC this summer don’t miss Mario Batali’s Casa Mono and Bar Jamon on East 17th Street and Irving Place. Spectacular tapas and wonderful wine bar. Plates from $10.-$25 but each very well thought out, generous enough to share and absolutely delicious. Have eaten my way through the entire menu on four visits and every offering a gem.

for sister.. I think you meant gusso or latto not lusso. Am not sure what the meaning of that word is, just a minute my sil is here I will ask her. Sorry, she does not know either. Gusso is the seaweed that you think it is while latto is the seaweed that looked like tiny tiny green grapes in a bunch, am I right?
