Hello Marketman, this is a bit late but had to reply ….missed meeting you in person again at the “school board” dinner but had a pleasant time with your better half and her camera as she tried to record parts of the evening’s dinner for you. Thank you for your blurb about the prosciutto and chico combination. I did get taken by how the chico’s gritty quality can match that of the fig. I used to think a super ripe fig from Italy was the best fruit in the world, but after pairing a super duper ripe chico with prosciutto, I changed my mind. Pepato’s opening menu in 2003 had prosciutto paired with scoops of our chico sherbet….something quite perfect to combat our Manila heat. I still think its one of our best starters and haven’t removed it from there. Hope to finally see you in person soon!!!!

mila/flip4ever,
oh thank you so much i really appreciate! i looked it up online, and yeah somehow 30th wedding anniv are associated with “pearls”.
too bad i’m on the other side if the globe, it would’ve been so much easier and fun to shop for all the things we need in Divisoria or Baklaran! :)
thanks again!

Allright Marketman,

How about prosciutto and slice ripe pineapple or even fully ripe cashew or kasuy fruit? Hmmm, sound like a good snack for the summer.

The first time I saw Kiwi I thought it was chico until I opened it.

I saw once in an ethnic grocery store a fruit called Sapodilla. I thought it was chico but it was so big I wasn’t sure but once I tasted it , yep chico and it was very sweet. I have kept looking but never saw it again.

dhayL, 30th wedding anniversaries are linked to pearls. You could do any color but have a pearly sheen added to the decor of the celebration. Or go crazy in Quiapo and buy tons of inexpensive pearls for the decor!!!
