My new favorite fun fruit -- leeches! After passing numerous roadside stands of these mysterious poky fruits, I finally asked one merchant what they were. He replied "lichas." As if to say, "What else could it be?!" After asking what you do with them he popped off the top half of one and told me to try it. It was slimy inside and odd looking but also very sweet tasting and fun to eat. My new favorite snack (until mango season)...I bought a whole bag of 20 for 20 Limpiras (about a dollar).
