After sampling some chili-infused lollipops at a Mexican grocery store near his place… Ben has developed a bit of a jones. Today, his package of Mexican candies that he ordered arrived, and he was kind enough to share some of the goodness with everyone.
The lollipop I had (mango) was good, but ended up being almost too strong for me. I did try one piece of something… that was primarily tamarind? It was brown, and had seeds, and tasted like a squishy, sour prune. Almost everyone in the office tried it, and had a similar reaction (namely, spit it out shortly after biting into it).
Some fun stuff though. We had a blast sampling the candy (although I wasn’t nearly as adventurous as Ben was).
Case in point, Ben’s exploration of what was called Salsaghetti.
Oh my goodness, does that salsaghetti ever look disgusting! Ha!
You know those candies are full of lead, don’t you?
