Carol realized about two and a half crepiocas in that she should have stopped at two. Our teacher told us about crepiocas and said he eats them almost every day. We were excited to try. Tapioca starch mixed with eggs, cooked like pancakes, and filled with veggies and cheese. What could go wrong? Judging from the groans coming from the other room, plenty. I did a quick google search and although arsenic is sometimes found in tapioca, I'm pretty sure Carol will be fine. Tapioca can be hard to digest and we aren't used to it. Just another reminder to go in slowly on the new foods and drinks. Like with the jabuticabas. The Brazilians might like them and they certainly look inviting, but the strange fruit with the strange name that grows directly from the bark of a strange tree just might cause a gastric explosion if eaten by a gringo first thing in the morning. We need to learn to test the waters before jumping in.
