Vegetarian

प्रकाशित: 26.04.2017

As usual, I had school in the morning. After eating, we went for a walk to a market. I went along. Unbelievable: the variety of exotic fruits you can find here. It can make a fruit lover's heart beat twice as fast in just seconds. Unbelievable, yet logical. That's Ecuador!

Vegetables as well: countless varieties of potatoes in all sizes and shades. But no one could tell me which one is the ideal type to have with raclette. They also had herbs for all kinds of ailments and of course, meat, fish, and poultry.

In the evening, all five students decided to go to a vegetarian restaurant and eat there. Daniela from the USA, a convinced vegetarian, timidly asked if anyone would join her. Surprisingly, everyone agreed. It tasted great, and no one regretted it. Even the local beer is not far from homebrewed beer.

By the way, there was no meat for lunch either. We had rice with salad and a cooked banana. It's called maduro, it looks like an overripe banana with a yellowish-brown skin, and it's bigger than what we're used to. In other words, I had maduro for lunch.

Who gets the inside joke?

If you don't, just google maduro.

So today, everything revolved a little bit around vegetables.

(I'll talk about maduro later if I can't think of anything else. It's not safe what's simmering beneath the surface here in Ecuador. Yes, there are volcanoes too, but...)
