So yesterday, Claudia, Brad, and I went to a menu to eat lunch. A menu is a small restaurant that serves a small variety of things. Usually at a place like this, one can get an entree, a main dish, and a drink for about 6 soles ($2). It's a pretty good deal and the food is usually great. Yesterday was no exception. The food was good. It definitely wasn't what I was used to though.
They brought out my soup first. I'm not sure what I was expecting, or if I was even expecting anything ... I've learned to be pleasantly surprised by all sorts of random things. As I was slurping up my soup, I noticed one of the 'chunks' didn't look quite normal. So I scooped it up, only to follow it up with the question of "what is that??" There were a few other things like that in my soup. We started analyzing and determined that they were random chicken innards. The first one was either a heart or a liver ... or maybe both stuck together. The gizzard was in there somewhere. I had part of a foot and the neck bone. The neck bone actually had some decent meat on it, so I ate that. I didn't eat the other parts of the chicken though; I'm not a huge fan of heart ... it's a bit chewy for me. :-) I did enjoy the broth and the noodles.
So, next time you order some chicken soup and find a bone, don't complain. At least it's only a bone.
PS - The soup was REALLY good. The random parts definitely add just the right touch of flavor.
