Since Charles Darwin is best known for his Theory of Evolution, what better way can we celebrate his birthday than a game where we can build our own creatures based on the environment and their survival. GeekDad Jonathan is a huge fan of this game and all of its variations. It’s time to crack out the tabletop games and mess around with Evolution. Okay, now that I have used up most of my article about food (as it should be), let’s move quickly through our remaining elements. Serve with fried corn chips or plantain chips.Once the fish is “cooked” in the lime juice, strain the fish and mix it with the marinated vegetables.Mix the onions, tomatoes, peppers, and cilantro with the remaining lime juice and marinate together for about an hour.Cover the glass dish and place it in the fridge to marinate for about 4-hours.This should use about half of your limes. Completely cover the fish with lime juice and a touch of salt. Chop the fish in small square pieces and place in a glass dish.Fried corn chips or plantain chips for a side dish.2 bell peppers, diced (the more colorful, the better).2lb white fish fillets (sea bass is great – ask for sashimi grade).Photo of Ceviche served at MUYU Galapagos Ingredients The local language for the Galapagos Islands is Spanish, though many people there also speak English. Who knows? Final point: It’s pronounced “seh-vee-che,” with a Spanish influence. Or this could just be another excuse from EG Dad and Sinister to go back there. They are not quite as sour as limes found on the mainland. There is something special about their limes. Also, I will warn you: no matter how good you make this at home, it will never be as good as the real thing in the Galapagos Islands. Well, actually the fish is cooked in lime (or lemon, if you prefer) juice. The team is passionate about protecting the Galapagos culture and cuisine, especially with the local favorite: Ceviche.Ī couple of notes about Ceviche: this is a fish dish. It is run by locals and works closely with the research center Galapagos Foundation to develop and farm indigenous food. MUYU is a restaurant-and-bar on San Cristobel. One of the best places in the Galapagos Islands to find Ceviche is at MUYU Galapagos. ( You can read about the journey here.) EG Dad had Ceviche at least three times during his visit and LOVED it. I can vouch for the authenticity thanks to my test subject, Evil Genius Dad, who traveled to the Galapagos Islands in 2019 with our eldest child. Darwin would have been in his element.įor our “make,” I have found a recipe for Ceviche, a traditional dish from the Galapagos Islands. For a place like the Galapagos Islands, the local food can be especially creative and filled with flavors not found anywhere else. Many of the foods he tried were already part of the indigenous culture. No, he did not eat directly off his dissection table. The menu included hawk, bittern, and even a brown owl.ĭuring his travels, Darwin continued this fascination with food and explored all of the delights offered with local cuisine. At Cambridge, Darwin was a member of the Glutton Club, a group of fellow students interested in… uh, developing their palate beyond the standard British diet. He ate some of the things he discovered while exploring the Galapagos Islands. So, here’s a weird fact I learned about Charles Darwin. Thus, it seems like the perfect time to delve into the history and persona of Charles Darwin with our own Make/Play/Watch/Read session. Friday, February 12 is celebrated as Charles Darwin Day, in honor of his birthday. However, there is far more to this intriguing scientist. And he did put the Galapagos Islands “on the map,” so to speak-much to the utter frustration of pirates throughout the area. The guy was an outright genius who conceptualized a theory which, in hindsight, seems pretty obvious now. He is the father of the Theory of Evolution and a scientist in every sense of the word. Charles Darwin is one of those names we instantly recognize.
