Chili Powder? On Fruit? Whaaa?

This past Saturday, I took my kids to a children's activity at my church. For lunch, they provided pizza, chips, and oranges.  I saw that they had this bottle of stuff that looked like some sort of sauce or powder on one of the tables, and I assumed it was for the pizza.  You can imagine my surprise when I saw the girls at my table putting it on their oranges.  These girls were in their teens, and as far as I know, have always lived in Laredo. The conversation went something like this:

Me: "Um... what is that?"
Them: "Chile Powder."  *in their minds: "Uh, Duh?"*
Me: "And you're putting it on an ORANGE?"
Them: "Uh, yeah."

The whole time they're looking at me kinda like, "You're an idiot," because EVERYBODY was putting it on their oranges.

The bottle looked like this:

It says you can put it on oranges, pineapple, watermelon, you name it!  I was intrigued...  I grabbed that bottle and put some on my orange.

My Verdict:  DELICIOUS!

It's not at all what I expected.  It was kinda sweet and actually made the orange taste good.  I ended up eating all my oranges, and my kids' oranges, and some other kid's that left his on his plate.  And today when I went grocery shopping, I bought some and had my husband try it.  Now, he likes it, too.  YUM!

Also, on that same day, I bit into what I thought was a plain potato chip, but it was NOT!  Once I got over the shock of it not being plain, I actually liked it.  I'm pretty sure it was Lime flavored.  Never had that before I moved down here.  I bought some Limon flavored chips today in hopes that they would be the same ones.

I'm really loving trying new food.  We bought a bunch of Mexican candy to try.  Maybe my next post will be about how that is.  Wish me luck!
