Pipas!

Pipas or sunflower seeds are a way of life here. You eat them during every soccer game and just while walking down the street. I go through two bags now while watching soccer games. Here people it pipas differently than we do in the US. How we eat it is put the whole thing in our mouth crack it in half and eat the seed. Here they hold it in their hand only bite the top and get the seed out with their tongue. My host dad does all this is about 5 sec! He tried teaching me to eat a pipa like a Spaniard but I just couldn't do it haha.
