Our last barefoot homework assignment was to travel to the markets in downtown San Jose to pick up certain fruits and vegetables to be used during the taste testing portion of our following class. We were responsible for buying a fruit called Anona and vegetables called Chayote and Yuca.
We were able to find the vegetables, but unfortunately Anona was out of season, so we weren’t able to bring it to class for sampling. Our teacher Olga had cooked samples of all the vegetables prior to our class so we were able to sample them during class. It was a really interesting exercise that allowed us all to eat some things some would not have otherwise tried. Of course, since we live in a Tico house, we’ve eaten most all of them!
