The next experience Freddie has set up for us is a jewelry making lesson with the micro enterprise students. I set out to make a necklace and Roger a bracelet. We are each assigned a student, who initially patiently show us what to do (again and again) an who undo and redo the string work until finally we get it… we are just totally relaxed when Freddie arrives… time for your cooking lesson!
The food has been great and so we are looking forward to lunch. We meet up at the outside BBQ and carefully marinate fish and wrap them in banana leaves. We then make a palm heart salad with salt and limes… yum. The chef then hands me more banana leaves, unwrap these Freddie says. I do and they are full of fat white crawling bug YUK! Yummy says Freddie and he pops one head first into his mouth! YUKO!! The chef and Freddie tuck in tothe delicacies. They then spear them on skewers and place them on the BBQ with the fish.
I am sure they will taste great but after seeing them wriggling and squirming, I can’t face eating them……thank goodness the fish tastes great!
