Quiz time! The woman in front of me at Devon Market was buying something that rang up as "WAMNAHCKOE" [sic]. Who can tell me what it was?

Afterwards, I went to La Única in search of mastic for one of [livejournal.com profile] monshu's recipes. As I told him, if you want to put a hex on someone or have a 100% natural childbirth, they've got everything you need. But when it comes to Middle Eastern spices, they're not your go-to store. Too bad we don't have time to swing down to Andersonville.

In any case, I was charmed to find in the beer aisle that five countries are represented by at least one brand each. So if you're Colombian and convinced that nothing else tastes quite like your Áquila, well then, there's a six pack there with your name on it.

I had some time to kill because I decided to pick up lunch while I was there. Verdict: Tasty maduros, but their fried chicken is rubbish. Mushy and dry, and sitting too long under a heat lamp. But at least the moros y cristianos didn't kill me with their saltiness.

What's moros y cristianos? Here's a party involving powder, fireworks and lots of alcohol!

Black beans and rice. I didn't realise this name wasn't current in Spain!

Hehehe, evidently they didn't have a Reconquista in Latin America for 9 centuries kicking out the "moor invaders" as we had here :)
(Then they did it so well they continued the manslaughter in America!)
