I walked home from class today all excited for lunch. I was really hungry. I wasn't sure if my senora was going to make me lunch today or not - she said something that I didn't understand. So I had it all planned. If there was no food, I was going to make myself pasta. I get home all ready for a big meal and I find that she's made me something and left if on the stove to warm. Win. I was so hungry and excited I couldn't wait so I took of the towel and plate that was covering it and I took a peak at what I was going to devour in a few minutes. It was yellow. There was rice. I saw the remants of the chicken I didn't finish yesterday. And then I saw it. Shrimp.
Ordinarily shrimp wouldn't bother me. I can handle a tail or two of it. But this is not like in the states. Remember the chicken I so loved, but had to pick around the bones? Well, the shrimp was like that, except they don't have bones. There were entire shrimps in there. Heads and all. I didn't know what to do. I was hungry, and I did want to try seafood while I was here.
I ate it heads and all.
Just kidding. I cut off the heads and pealed off all of the scaly outsideness. I don't even know what its called - an exoskeleton? Either way, I ate a bit of shrimp some of the rice a lot of bread and cheese and a banana. The banana saved me.
Tomorrow I leave for Seville for two days. I'm quite excited to see another city in Spain.
Sounds like quite an array of meals that you have been adventurous to try!
