Well! We've finished Avocado Festival weeked and all that the Festival brings. We can get to back to the more quiet life we're used to. The big news this week is that one of our favorite fixed price menus at Sly's - both ours and our customers - is now being served.
Our Basque menu, celebrating the Cuisine of the Basque Country on the south-west coast of France, contains some of our all time favorites dishes, and never fails to remind Annie and I of some of the great times we've spent in St. Jean de Luz, Bayonne, Biarritz, and up in the foothils of the Pyranees.
The Basque people speak their own language, a unique orphan among language families. Their traditional homeland is now divided up between Spain and France. We’re celebrating the cuisine of the French Basque Country. The star of our menu is probably our "mixed" Paella, with homemade chorizo sausage, shrimp, mussels, squid, clams and chicken. Richly seasoned with saffron, it is one of the kings or rice dishes - not to mention my wife Annie's favorite!
