Dear Hot, Cheap & Easy Readers,
This is Leandro. I am doing a Science Fair Project on burps.

(The project is due Saturday, April 6)

Some are edible and the one we eat most here in Puerto Rico (although I am told they mostly are imported from Venezuela these days) is Cardisoma guanhumi which we call juey and — if you are English-speaking — you might call the […]
