paletas con chile

this summer i bought this amazing tamarind lollipop in oaxaca city.

and then i could never find it again. 

and i looked. 

everywhere. 

i even took a picture of it

so that in every candy shop that i passed 

i could look more effectively.

no luck.

until rcg took me to buy candy for my birthday.

and we found tons of flavors.

i had one the other day. 

and it was just like i remembered. 

the lollipop is covered,

like, seriously covered,

in chile. 

 it takes tons

and tons

and tons 

of licks to get all of the chile off.

and then you get delicious fruity goodness. 

and for the whole rest of the lollipop

you have the added bonus of being able 

to continue to dip your lollipop in the chile.

so the whole lollipop experience is 

one nose sniffing,

sinus clearing, 

seriously delicious 

good time.

thanks rcg for finding me my lollipop.
