What kind of flour?

Tuesday I should be getting my first lot of unmilled non-GMO hard red winter wheat berries.

Just standard AP or household flour.
Delivered by people that are renting my boat for the afternoon

I just had a delivery of 5 kg of flour and a crate of beer

Community beer-battered fish fry at badjak’s place!

GEEZ!!!!
That's almost double the price back in Cowboyville Arizona!
I haven't been getting anything that I can buy back there, only local or culturally unique foods.

That’s a dollar more than it is here in sunny SW Ohio.

Same brand here but with slightly more pasta (500g) is approx. $1.80. Cheaper brands are available.

Funny, I went to the local Safeway and they only two brands of dried Pasta

If that were Venezuela, the Safeway would close down within 6 weeks

Whole, unmilled, non-GMO, hard red winter wheat!!!

And of course when I went to put them away I rediscovered the other 10 lbs. I had ordered from the church of LDS some time ago. -oops-

That intrigued me, too, and I wondered what it was used for in South America so I had a look for some recipes/
From Perú: trigo atamalado ( like a soup) and picante de trigo (trigo with chile peppers and meat- Peruvians loooooove their chiles!)
From Mexico: albóndigas de trigo ( wheat meatballs) and ensalada de trigo y queso fresco (wheat berry salad with fresh cheese)
From Bolivia: Cha'aque de trigo (like a wheat berry soup with lamb)
From Spain: Guiso Murciano de trigo y garbanzos ( wheat berry & chickpea stew, from Murcia)

If any of them look interesting, I can probably translate them in a few minutes, so let me know.

Hi there karadekoolaid, So I've upped my wheat game to whole, unmilled, non-GMO berries! I used this search term: picante trigo wheat with meat site:.pe , no habla Espanol on my end, which returned sites in Peru, translated, and found this recipe using potatoes. Other than subbing wheat for the potatoes does this look authentic?

The translation was amusing a bit, yes?
