Friday we went to the Mercado Central again this time to show Christina as well as give me the chance to eat picorocos. They are a species of giant barnacle that is eaten in Chile and parts of Peru. It is very rare for them to be ordered in the restaurants in the market especially by foreigners so when the guy found out that I wanted them he got very excited. No one had tried them before including the 2 employees we talked to at the restaurant where we were eating.
They look pretty gross but they were cooked in oil and garlic and taste like crab mixed with a little bit of clam. Not too bad. If you are ever in the area I would suggest trying them.
This was a tiny after dinner drink that tasted a lot like celery salt.
Later that night we went over to a friend's house to meet up before going out to celebrate this girl's birthday. It was at a place called Murano that no one likes to go to but seemed alright to me.
