Things That look Like Cake But Are Not.

So this weekend there was a big festa up at the town near the park where I work. It was a very good time. Day two of the festival we spent going to different peoples houses eating goat stew. I was so full it was like Thanksgiving. At one home they served this brown chocolate cake looking substance. It was not chocolate and it was not cake, it was I think the exact opposite of chocolate cake. It was a crunchy “bread” made by using the collected blood of a cow, pig, or goat and mixing it with cornmeal. This is then stuffed into the animals stomach and baked. They must have lost a bet with the Irish at some point. That being said though the little cakes were not to bad once you got over that initial shock of realizing you were not eating a sweet dessert but rather a culinary scab. It was especially good when you let it soak up some goat stew.

Well looks like my flight has been changed. Now I will be leaving for the USA on the 11th of June. I prefer this because it means I will be traveling on a weekday rather than the weekend. Now I am trying to change my flight back to Cape Verde to a later date. I definitely want to spend at least a month in the States.
