Travel vocabulary ~ ‘la langosta blanca’ or ‘the white lobster’

20080211-la-langosta-blanca-the-white-lobster

Be careful if you’re in Bluefields in Nicaragua.  If you hear the locals chatting about "la langosta blanca," they’re not referring to the rare albino lobster pictured above.  They’re talking about the catch of the day: cocaine jettisoned from speed boats that are being chased by drug enforcement officers.  Read about it here at the New Zealand Herald in the article by Jonathan Franklin.

    I guess that’d be the only time you’d serve langosta with a spoon.
