Everyday the kids eat snacks after school, and being that most of them are of Xicano/a and Central American descent, some of them bring or buy some peculiar (to me) treats. Red, hot, spicy, kinda sour, and sometimes buttery seems to be the trend.
This past Friday, Angel, one of the troublemakers (sometimes), who recently temporarily left the program I work with to be on the baseball team showed me this:
I have no idea what this is!!! He described it to me, and said it was or could be spicy, and sometimes sour if you squirt some kind of juice on it/them. I usually accept the offers of the students when they suggest that I try their chosen treats, but I had to say no this time...just too nervous, and I had no water with me. The last thing I tried was a persimmon. Sassy 5th grader Dulce requested that I take two. I bit into it, and smiled, and put it in my backpack to throw away when I got home. Couldnt hurt the girls feelings and throw it away in front of her!!!!
