gastronomic haikus and foodtography by Angela

Just eating my way through life and writing 17 syllables when I feel like it!

Make cupcakes, not war.
Smoke bacon, not cigarettes.
Pass food, not judgment.

Cities where I've eaten

Orxata

Horchatería de Santa Catalina

Valencia, Spain

Orxata is sooo good. It's a rice-y tasting drink which originated in Valencia. It's made with rice in Mexico, but in Valencia it's made from chufas... chufas are an underground nut that grows at the end of a bunch of grass. Here, just read about it on wikipedia.

Plus we got these amazing cream/chocolate-filled donut sticks to dip in the orxata...
