Ceviche and marinated fish...

Ceviche is wonderful

The origins of the dish are disputed, but it likely originated in multiple places in the world but became widespread during the Spanish colonial period. It is very popular in the Caribbean, Central and South America, the Pacific Islands (it is referred to as Kelaguen in the Mariana Islands, such as Guam and Poke in Hawaii), Southeast Asia, Spain, and Sicily .  Basically it is "cooking" raw fish or other meats by marinating it in citrus juice or other acids.  Lemon or lime juice are the most popular for making Ceviche.  Similar dishes were done using vinegar. You absolutely want to use high quality fish or mollusks when making ceviche.

Ceviche is also seasoned with chopped hot peppers, onion, fruit, avocado, cilantro, and other herbs.  Grated coconut is added sometimes.  The general rule of less is more applies.  This is a dish best done with a limited number of contrasting flavors.

White fish such as snapper, wahoo, mahi, toothfish, monkfish, and halibut are generally preferred for aesthetic purposes of the fish turning bright white by the citric acid, it is often done with octopus, shrimp, squid, or other fish.

Chicken is sometimes used, especially in Guam, but it is cooked in advance.

Swordfish, cod, and eel are generally not good for ceviche.  If a sushi bar does not serve it raw, you should not serve it raw.  Most sushi fish is frozen first, usually in a box freezer, to kill any parasites.  Lemon and lime juice alone will not get rid of parasites.

President Obama is an embarrassment: Don't cry for me Maldives Islands...

The Falklands Island war was 30 years ago and we supported the British.  Why would President Obama do something like this? 

Obama was hoping to impress Latin American leaders at the Summit of the Americas this weekend by using the Latin American name for the disputed Falkland Islands. Unfortunately, he used the wrong word, embarrassing himself.

I understand the Argentines disagree with how things turned out, but we do not need to be encouraging them to do something rash again.

You will not build trust with the Argentines over this, but the British sure as hell know that they cannot trust you.

Update:
Ann Althouse compiles verbal flubs of President Obama.  But while it is funny to dish a little back to the Democrats on things like this (Bush was pillared for it), it is the pandering to Argentina at the expense of the British that is the problem.  Either we support the British or we don't.  And if we don't let's debate the wisdom of doing that (I believe it is exceedingly foolish and dangerous to do this).  Attempting to use the Argentine name for the islands is a signal we do not want to send unless there is a reason to do so.

Update:
The apple did not fall far from the tree...
