#3 -- I did guess it, but you sneakily changed the recipe name! You'd make a good magician, deflecting attention...

My family and I were way out front on this. We've been eating it for 25 years, and are so tickled by all the "new" interest in this wonderful food.

#3 - always in my pantry (I'm Peruvian, and although I don't live in Peru I always have it and try to cook it in different ways for guests). Love making a risotto-style dish with this ingredient too. As well as sushi/maki rolls.
