Palmito, or heart of palm, tasted in Montevideo.
It's been a long time since I took this photo and I just hadn't managed to publish it yet.
This is a South American food, the heart of a certain type of palm that is cut into pieces and preserved in oil or vinegar.
I've eaten it several times in Brazil even though the photo was taken at the Mercado in Montevideo.
