Caranguejo, salsa e farmácia
Lucía, an Argentine tourist, tells how she got ill in Aracaju: on Saturday, at a beach stall on the Orla de Atalaia, she ordered crab «with lots of salsa», thinking salsa meant sauce — it came covered in parsley, and she ate four. On Sunday she woke up with a stomach-ache, and at the pharmacy counter she explained what she had already taken (only boldo tea) and that she had never eaten crab before; by Monday morning she had got better.
