Pipas = Sunflower Seeds

Ok so everyone here eats sunflower seeds. It seems to be the popular snack and only the "cool" kids eat them. I've found myself munching on them quite frequently. The two most popular flavors are Mariachi and Tijuana - a little surprising for Spain! My favorite is Mariachi. I always used to think sunflower seeds were just for enjoying a baseball game, but not so here in Spain....
Apparently, there aren't any sunflower seeds in London, so one of my students took 2 kilos to her friend over Christmas!
