friends in my food
23 April, 2011
Many of the fruits, vegetables and bulk dry goods I buy at the souk have some sort of insect or other critter in them. I don’t particularly enjoy picking them out of the food before I cook it, but it is better than the alternative, and I’ve gotten to the point where I’m no longer squeamish about it.
While cutting up some cauliflower for dinner tonight, I happened upon this little guy. He’s the most beautiful critter yet to grace my produce. We played for a while, he posed for pictures, and now he is vacationing somewhere in a trash heap along the Oued Ziz.

Yuck? Cute? Good Attitude. I’ve actually been kind of turned off by delicious dates after finding worms in one…..
