This shy girl had a cart outside the Healing Home this morning. Hundreds of vendors cover every nook of the city at this time, selling these little nasties.Adding to the happy chaos of the roads here are the sellers of a local delicacy that look like cockles as in shellfish. My friend Sue Hanna calls them 'diarrhea pills'. They are cooked in the morning and pushed around the city all day in the ever-hot sun.
The locals have a love affair with these wee delicacies. They are not immune to the repercussions tho'. Malis, a delightful girl who works for Hagar, phoned in badly sick a while ago, laid up n hospital. 'What happened, poor lady??' Sympathy went to zero very quickly. Sue H reckons it needs to be written into every job contract - eat these and no sick pay for you!
The diarrhea pills come in two flavours - 'all day gut cleanser' and 'chillied 3-day bowel remover'. The choice is all yours ...
