On Friday as I was walking to my office, I saw several of our workers on their knees huddled around the base of one of the palm trees. My curiosity got the best of me so I left my laptop and briefcase on the side of the road and climbed down the embankment to see what was going on.
I realised they were eagerly harvesting thousands of small, white, feathery mushrooms that had sprung up overnight. Apparently they appear only once each season and are quite a delicacy—and they are free!! So… I joined them in collecting a few to take home to taste. (I assumed they were edible or they wouldn’t be picking them!)
Sure enough, cooked up with some onions, tomatoes, garlic and cilantro they were delicious! I guess now we have to wait for the special day next season.
