It was always fun going to the central market in Ayacucho - you could buy anything you needed, including household goods, food, even magical items from the witches section. Perhaps my fondest memory is the Extracto de Rana. Translating to Frog Extract, you begin by choosing the froggy of your choice. The little fella then gets liquefied in a blender along with honey and a few spices, creating a delicious drink that gives you virility and overall better health. Maybe Juan Carlos can write in about how it tastes (you know I didn't drink it).

You balk at a frog, yet you will go hog-wild at a Chinese buffet.

Buffets make you volatile, not virile.

Once upon a time people used chopped off pigeon feet to cure syphilis by rubbing them on the infected parts.

The more you know....
