Jicama

Christine, the other day,

mentioned something about some white Mexican fruit

that she found at Wal-mart and 

that they tried and that it was not good.

I went shopping today and 

could not find what the heck she was talking about 

at all.

Then, tonite while preparing supper,

cutting up my Jicama, 

I thought, 

maybe it was Jicama she was talking about...

then, I read the sticker on the outside 

and it read, "Mexican fruit".

Well, if I thought it were a fruit,

and it was my first time tasting it,

I probably would not like it either.

But it's a vegetable!!

 

Clearly, it is a VEGETABLE, 

to be eaten with veggie dip!  

20 some years ago, when I was early 20 something, 

I used to buy this all the time 

and bring it to parties

If you have not tasted it, 

it has a kind of potato, starchy like texture,

but is juicy, a little sweet and crunchy!

Give it another try Christine, with veggie dip!
