Atol chuco

It's funny how I've adopted some Salvadoran customs, but staunchly refuse others. For example, I don't care how many times my host mom says how ugly my pants are, I keep wearing them. They're just pants!!

This is atol chuco. It's made out of blue corn mash and has a salty/acidy taste. The first time I had it I hated it. Now I can't wait for the atol girls to come by on Sunday afternoons!

All this for $.30!

I prefer to eat mine like soup with hot sauce and the chips whole, not crushed up. 
I'm having a lot of good days in a row. I just want to ride this high all the way to my US visit in March!
