I like to try different foods when I visit different places. Who doesn't
?
Moving out to the desert has introduced me to a couple of interesting local delicacies, like prickly cactus pear (really good for kidney health
), REALLY hot salsa called Viper's Venom (made from jalapeno, habanero, and santake peppers...never heard of a santake pepper before
), and perhaps the strangest thing I've eaten since fiddleheads...scorpion
, encased in a blueberry sucker. The scorpion itself tastes like hazelnut expresso, with lots of crunch and protein
. Blueberries and hazelnut expresso...muy interesante
.
