Yes, got quite fond of it. There is a white variety as well in the
campo.......Passing a communal bowl around a circle in a chicharia, everyone
spilling a drop on the earth for respect for Pachamama before drinking , and
dancing barefoot...good memories. If chicha, made from dried sprouted maiz
is a wine, does that make corn a fruit?! Can fruits make beer, and grains
wine? I remember the fiesta de las manzanas (apples) outside of
Cochabamba, I'm guessing it was at about 6500 feet elevation.
