"Interested to hear if anyone has had this Saturday night special stew made from freshly butchered offal—brain, heart, kidneys. I had seen it in the Mission District of San Francisco with Eat Nopal. Is it offered anywhere else in the U.S.? What was it like?" – kara_raisu, on chocolomo
"I received all three different Virginia varieties of roasted salted Hubs, Whitleys, and Feridies and here's what I found. The Hubs were the biggest and had the least amount of salt and I think were the crunchiest." – zoey67, on gourmet peanuts
"Guatemala is the most Third World country I've visited. I am never unaware of it. The ancient and modern side by side is jarring, such as—across from a modern mall at a bus stop, a shepherd with three goats is selling fresh-from-the-udder milk. In a jungle clearing, a woman making tortillas on a cinder block poyo that is fueled by twigs and branches stops to take a call on her cell phone." – rworange, traveling in Guatemala
