La Belle, the closest town is 8 miles west. The area is primarily agricultural, citrus, strawberries, vegetables and the majority of the population is Hispanic who do the labor. Every Sat in La Belle there is a Hispanic market with fruit, veg, clothing, food stalls, etc. It's fun to walk through and observe the people and items for sale. There was one food stall that I found fascinating and the food looked great. Several young men were eating a bowl of soup that looked delicious, asked what kind it was but they didn't speak English, they got the cook and he said it was cows stomach, decided to pass. We left with bags of fruit.

Hal, next time see if you can find any pumellos. Good ones are absolutely heavenly. The pink ones are the prettiest, but one called Mellow Gold is much juicier and sweeter.
ReplyDeleteAm enjoying your comments, of course. And don't you know that cow's stomach is tripe? Course I wouldn't try it either. But I love ox tail soup. Go figure why out minds play such tricks.
