Hello dear friends of Hive, this is my first participation in this wonderful community Ladies of Hive, I hope you are well.
Here I am to answer one of the questions that corresponds to week 35.
¿What is the strangest food you have ever eaten and how was the experience?
This contest caught my attention and I immediately remembered that some time ago I spent a more or less long time, exactly two years and three months in a town called Las Claritas, in the deepest part of Bolivar state, one of the most beautiful states of my country and therefore one of the most touristic, This town is located within the national park canaima 88 kmt beyond the mining town the callao of the most recognized in the country both for its gold as for its dancing culture, comparsas and calypso their carnivals are comparable to those of the neighboring and very close to that area Brazil which we know are super famous worldwide.
In that part of the national geography there are several Yanomami Indian settlements with whom one interacts daily, they are people with an incredible knowledge about nature, any plant around them has healing qualities and they know them and teach you without any kind of expectation and without expecting anything in return.
Well, one of the experiences that I remember a lot from my stay in this wonderful place was once I was hired by a man, I remember of German nationality, who lived there temporarily for work reasons with his little son of 7 years and the lady who attended them in the house, the man hired me to direct the child in the realization of his daily schoolwork.
The food or let's say better, the food in kilometer 88, as they also call it is quite varied and very natural is very influenced by the indigenous customs, they tend to use a lot of tubers cusechados at home yucca, yams, ocumo, among many other things like auyama, miz, topocho, banana, in general they eat quite healthy.
The most extreme eat insects, larvae, worms, in short. In a breakfast I had in that house or farm (it is more like a farm with a small house) I ate a little animal that we call Bacho culón, Hormiga culona or Mayera. They come out during the rainy season and are collected for consumption, they are very popular because they are not very abundant.
At first I didn't want to try it, it made me sick or disgusted, I don't know, but they insisted so much that I tried it that I ended up trying it but with total indecision, they joked and laughed at me. My big surprise was that what I had tasted was such a rich food, so crunchy, then I did not stop eating it in all the breakfasts I could, with arepa, with cassava, with bread, I even ate it with rice, I really liked that food so strange!!! in fact I want to return to those places to marvel again with its people and its gastronomy.
remember clearly that the way to prepare it was as follows: they separated the animal in two parts and the fattest part was the ass and that is what they put to cook in a very hot pot without adding any fat since it released its own fat and there it was roasting, they added salt, spices and nothing else, they always made it in 2 versions, one spicy and the other not, for all tastes, I said, the taste is divine, it is very similar to the taste of fried pork, but more subtle and healthier of course. I take this opportunity to invite @yusma21 to participate in this wonderful Ladies of Hive contest,

Hola amados amigos de Hive, esta es mi primera participación en esta maravillosa comunidad Ladies of Hive, espero se encuentren bien.
Aqui me encuentro para responder una de las preguntas que corresponde a la semana 35.
¿Cuál es la comida más extraña que has comido y cómo fue la experiencia?
Me llamo la atención este concurso e inmediatamente recorde que hace algún tiempo pase una temporada mas o menos larga fueron exactamente dos años y tres mese en un poblado llamado las claritas, en lo mas profundo del estado Bolivar, uno de los estados mas bellos de mi país y por ende de los mas turísticos, dicho poblado esta ubicado dentro del parque nacional canaima a 88 kmt más allá del pueblo minero el Callao de los mas reconocidos en el país tanto por su oro como por su cultura bailadora , comparsas y calipso sus carnavales son comparables a los del vecino y muy cercano a esa zona Brazil los cuales sabemos que son super famosos a nivel mundial.
Por esa parte de la geografia nacional se encuentran varios acentamientos indígenas yanomami con los que uno interactúa diariamente, son personas con un conosimiento increíble sobre la naturaleza, cualquier planta a su alrrededor tiene cualidades curativas y ellos las conocen y te enseñan sin mesquindad y sin esperar nada a cambio.
Bueno, una de las vivencia que recuerdo mucho de mi estadía por ese maravilloso lugar fue una vez que fui contratada por un señor, recuerdo de nacionalidad alemana quien viva temporalmente por alli por cuestiones de trabajo con su pequeño hijo de 7 años y la señora que les atendía en la casa, el hombre me contrato para dirigir al niño en la realización de sus tarea escolares diarias.
La comida o digamos mejor, la alimentación en el kilómetro 88, como tambien lo llaman es bastante variada y muy natural está muy influenciada por las costumbres indigenas ,suelen usar mucho los tubérculos cosechados en casa yuca, ñame, ocumo, entre muchas cosas mas como la auyama, el miz, topocho , plátano, en general se come bastante saludable.
Los mas extremos comen insectos, larbas, gusanitos, en fin. Yo en un desayuno que tuve en esa casa o finca( es mas bien una finca con una pequeña casa) comi un animalito que llamamos Bacho culón, Hormiga culona
o Mayera, ellos salen en tiempo de lluvia y los recolectan para el consumo es muy cotizado ya que no son muy abundantes.
En un principio no lo quería probar, me daba grima o asco no se, pero insistieron tanto que lo probara que termine probando pero con una indecisión total, ellos bromeaban y se reían de mi.
Mi gran sorpresa fue que lo que había probado era una comida tan rica, tan crugiente, luego no deje de comerla en todos los desayunos que pude, con arepa, con casabe, con pan, incluso lo comía con arroz, ,¡¡me gusto mucho esa comida tan extraña!! de hecho quiero volver por esos lugares par maravillarme de nuevo con su gente y su gastronomía.
Recuerdo claramente que la forma de prepararlo era la siguiente: separaban el animal en dos parte y la parte mas gorda era el culo es lo que ponían a cocinar en un caldero bien caliente sin agregar nada de grasa ya que el soltaba su propia grasita y alli se iba tostando, le agregaban sal especias y nada mas.Siempre lo hacian en 2 versiones una picante y otra no, para todos los gustos decia.El sabor es divino, se asemeja mucho al sabor del puerco frito, pero mas sutil y mas sano por su puesto.
Aprovecho está oportunidad para Invitar a @yusma21 a participar en este maravilloso concurso de Ladies of Hive.
