Tiger Cubs go to market

Central Market, one of Austin’s specialty groceries, hosted Mr. Boy and nine other Tiger Cubs this afternoon. The boys got to see that Peruvian purple potatoes really are purple inside, how orange peppers are hotter than red ones, why green peppers are really fruit, not vegetables ( because they have seeds) and how really smelly cheese nevertheless tastes good. They also got to see a lobster up close and learn that they are from the same family as cockroaches (yuk). They managed to get through it all without knocking anything off the shelves or breaking anything. Most shoppers smiled at them in their blue and orange uniforms. But you could tell the ones who never had a child. They looked fairly panicked coming around a corner and running into the lot of them.
