Corn Salsa Recipe
During my travels around the globe as a member of a world-traveling family of privileged gourmands, I found myself in Botswana about to ride an elephant. The majestic creature was gentle but possessed immense strength and I was in awe of its incredible ears, which flapped like enormous skin-wings, as though the elephant could fly. As I was helped onto the back of the mighty beast, I found myself wondering, what brought us here? I was but a child, so I was merely along for the ride; literally and figuratively. It was a question that I didn’t ask at the moment I was perched upon the back of this lovely animal, but I decided it was something I needed to ask when we got back to our resort. The elephant ride took us around the grounds of the preserve, and when our ride was over, the elephants were walked into a covered enclosure where we could dismount and the elephants were fed and taken care of. At this point I asked my father: ‘Papa, why are we here? What was it that brought us here?’
My father turned to me and was silent for a long moment. The awkwardness of me, his child, conveying our obvious privilege among the hired hands, must have made him uncomfortable. He cleared his throat before telling me, ‘Ludivine, you’ve really identified the elephant in the room.’
And now, the best corn salsa recipe!
The Best Corn Salsa
