If you're not somewhat versed in the Spanish language, heading to your local taqueria can be quite daunting. Often times — at least in my neck of the woods — the meat selection is written in Spanish. There's Pollo, Carne Asada, Pescado and more.

Locavore
Someone whose diet consists of food grown or produced within an area most commonly bound by a 100-mile radius of their home. Locavores usually shun large supermarket chains, opting for farmer's markets and local gardens instead. It is also a current trend for many high-end restaurants as well.
Kimchi
A traditional Korean dish made of fermented, seasoned vegetables — such as cabbage and radishes — that are pickled and stored tightly in pots or jars. It is spicy-hot and is served as a condiment with almost every Korean meal.
Also written as kimchee.
Mirin
A low-alcohol sweet Japanese rice wine. It is essential in Japanese cooking and adds a sweet flavor to dishes, sauces, and glazes. It is also used to erase the smell of broiled fish. 
Buddha's Hand
A fragrant citrus fruit that is usually described as "lemon-like," even though there is no juicy pulp beneath the rind. It is bright yellow in color and has 5-20 long yellow "fingers." It's used primarily for its zest, as it does not have bitter white pith, but can also make a great marmalade. RSS Feed
