ROAD TRIP DAY 2 — Prickly Pears

Wanna More Iguana

SATURDAY (Chronicle #21):  We’ve got some time to kill before the next film screening, so we check out the art gallery social on the main street. Our new friends, Beverly and Johnny, are there.  The California bunch is also there — they recognize us and in no time, we’re handing out more Black Iguanas. They all wanna more iguana!

 

A couple who had not tried Black Iguana before had seen some people walking around with the Black Iguana pouches clipped to lanyards and had thought they were special VIP passes! How cool is that?!

 

One LA film enthusiast thinks Black Iguana is perfect for the West Coast party scene!

 

Beverly and Johnny sample their Black Iguanas — they’re really impressed. Johnny starts asking us about our plans for other flavors — we mention that Strawberry will be available starting next week, and Mango is in the plans. He suggests prickly pear, which has a deep purple color and a great tangy/sweet taste. Prickly pears (the fruit from the cactus plant) are edible and sold in stores under the name “tuna.” Although seasonal, prickly pears are plentiful in this region as well as in Mexico and could be harvested easily — creating a local economy.
