The Chicheria

by Serge Kahili King


The Chicheria Descanso ("descanso" means 'rest').



The "flag" is raised, meaning the chicha is ready.



The game of "sapo" begins.



A coin just misses the frog's mouth.



The open drawer shows how the scoring is done.



Inside the chicheria we are shown how the chicha is made with sprouted and fermented corn kernels.



And we are served two types of chicha.(the clowning man is not really eating the dried corn)
