Shrimp, tortillas, fennel and avocado… I grew up eating precisely none of these things. It’s amazing how one dish can be a visual marker of change; of evolving tastes and aversions overcome. My overriding memory of prawns was the 80s culinary blast from the past that would not be destroyed… the prawn cocktail. Swimming in […]
