a heart in my lunch

today i was eating lunch at one of my favorite spots
its called Inka
it is peruvian food
it has this amazing lunch deal thats 13 pesos ($3.40)
with this lunch deal you receive a wonderful soup that always has noodles and some type of meat and carrots and potatoes, a fresh juice that takes like some mixture of apple cider and barley tea, and then your choice of one out of three entrees.
it is always delicious and absolutely absurd the amount of food you get for your money, i usually leave feeling like ive accidentally robbed them

anywayyyy i was eating there today with my dear friend sonia
sonia got her soup first which today had chicken in it
this was very exciting because usually it is some very ambiguous meat type thing
when my soup arrived the type of chicken i had looked like the neck or the spine, whatever it was it was slightly unnerving but ok because i just sort of avoided it
and then
i spooned some broth and carrots and what appeared in my spoon was a HEART
A HEART
A CHICKEN HEART IN MY SOUP
it was terrifying, i could see the pulmonary artery
i hid it beneath my bowl but i had a hard time finishing that soup knowing it was flavored by a heart!!!

  1. I love chicken hearts! They come on long skewers at those all you can (m)eat Brazilian restaurants.
