May 6, 2007: Common view for selling.
Hell0 again.
Sorry for not being on for a few days but my computer gave me some problems.
Today I have this view here to talk a little about another way the poor make their living.
This is very common to see when you wonder the streets where the more common people live. This merchants find anything to sell and uses the sidewalks for his product with only a rice or sugar bag as the table. Usually these people will select a fruit or vegetable close to their area and spend all day hoping to have a good day.
As you can see it is very primative but they come in handy and once again the price is very low. The best thing about these people is that they are always so friendly and willing to let you bargain as long as they can sell something. They are proud of their work and are pleased to serve you the best they can.
This fruit is called limoncillo and has a pinky color inside and a big seed in the middle. People use it to make juices or just eat it like we eat grapes. It"s actuallyy very tasty and refreshing but only if it is ripe inside. They can be sweet or even a bit sour which means that the quality wasn't all that good since the best ones are sweet. Now this is a fruit that should be eaten only if you have a good digestive system because it has something that sticks to the lining of your stomach and can be uncomfortable. I recommend not to give it to children. On the whole a few to taste won't hurt.
This fruit grows from trees and has its' season to bare the fruit. Most of the time it just grows wild so it makes it even better for these guys to sell. Oh I almost forgot you have to open it to eat it, just the inside is eatable and of course the seed isn't eaten also. Its is quite slippery so be careful not to swallow the seed while you suck on it to enjoy the delicate taste of this fruit.
Remember any questions or something you want to ask I will answer you. If you don't want to leave a comment, you can send me an email to: [email protected]
Have a good day!
Sincerely yours
Rosy
