Epicurean Kentuckian: Pique Macho



2026-11-07 - Centerville, OH - Photo by Pen.
Pique Macho is one of Bolivia's most popular dishes, with regional variations existing throughout the country. Legend has it the name comes from the phrase Piquen si son machos (Eat it if you think you're man enough), either due to hot locoto peppers, large portion sizes, or a combination of both.

Wikipedia says, "The dish is an iconic Bolivian dish that combines beef, sausages, french fries or yuca frita (yuca fries), onions, green pepper, tomatoes, and locoto peppers, with the key preparation involving the meat marination with garlic, cumin, and soy sauce; potatoes frying; and the mixture of ingredients in a pan to blend the flavours before serving with a hard-boiled egg."

The version above is from Nelly's Taste of Bolivia near Dayton, OH.

Letter: Applause for Tommy Druen

Billy Joe Fudge writes:
Mr. Druen, just wanted you to know that your article, "Applause makes a terrible compass" just received a rousing standing ovation!

And your statement, "if an endeavor is worth undertaking, it's real value comes from the honest act of doing, not from whether the world throws a parade", is a classic!

I appreciate your deep, thoughtful, and well articulated dissertations.

Phillip Coffey - the big Cowboy Hat

Vegetable soup on the cook stove a'simmering - blend of tomatoes, limas, onions, beef broth, celery and carrots - almost forgot the peas.

Still hanging tough with my monthly little "draws." Well, he dabbled in this and a little of that but he comes up just short of passing the hat. Such a fine, big Cowboy hat, it comes up displaced.

Somewhere in Eastern Kentucky but searching for it he will never do, probably tethered up on a rock ledge above a Blue Gem Coal Seam.
