XSSFilter could not parse (X)HTML: <p>There is a juice counter near one of the downtown subway stations in Rio (Metro Carioca), which seems to have the longest list of fresh juices that I've seen so far – I counted 51 today. When I see a list like that, I always have hard time picking something – despite the fact that I usually essentially pick something randomly, since there is no information to guide the selection. Looking at this list of 51 today I had a flash of insight: I will start going down the list in alphabetical order. A bit like the <a href="http://www.psychcentral.com/psypsych/Humma_Kavula#Wowbagger.2C_the_Infinitely_Prolonged">Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged</a>. I decided to use the list I saw today as the master list and wrote down the first 17 juices (there were three columns of 17). Here is the list with my ratings and some notes:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://images.google.com.br/images?q=a%C3%A7a%C3%AD">açaí</a> – tried many time before, really good – *****</li> <li>abacaxi – pine-apple, can get anywhere – ***</li> <li>acabate – blended avocado (tried already, sometimes good, always strange) – ***</li> <li><a href="http://images.google.com.br/images?q=acerola">acerola</a> – tried before, generic sour until you add sugar – **</li> <li><a href="http://images.google.com.br/images?q=ameixa">ameixa</a> – plum, tried today, generic sour – **</li> <li><a href="http://images.google.com.br/images?q=amora">amora</a> – blackberry (never had as a juice)</li> <li><a href="http://images.google.com.br/images?q=ara%C3%A7%C3%A1">araçá</a> – next on the list</li> <li><a href="http://images.google.com.br/images?q=bacuri">bacuri</a> – coming up</li> <li>banana com aveia – banana with oats</li> <li>beterraba – beet juice – **</li> <li><a href="http://images.google.com.br/images?q=cacau">cacau</a> – cacao juice, interesting taste – ****</li> <li><a href="http://images.google.com.br/images?q=carambola">carambola</a> – star fruit, never tried as a juice</li> <li><a href="http://images.google.com.br/images?q=caj%C3%A1">cajá</a> – coming up</li> <li><a href="http://images.google.com.br/images?q=caju">caju</a> – cachew juice, peculiar taste but not for everyone – ***</li> <li><a href="http://images.google.com.br/images?q=camu-camu">camu-camu</a> – coming up</li> <li><a href="http://images.google.com.br/images?q=caqu%C3%AD">caquí</a> – parsimon, haven’t tried as a juice</li> <li>cenoura – carrot juice (you can get that in CA) – *</li> </ul> <p>I am rating the juices on a 5 point scale, setting fresh-squized orange juice at <strong><em> (“good”). So, </strong><strong> and </strong></em><strong> mean better than that, </strong> means “ok” and * means I don’t like it.</p> <p>So, skipping the ones I had before, I got “ameixa” today. It turned out to have a generic sour taste, corrected with a bit of sugar. As I also discovered later, “ameixa” is just the word for plum, and “amora” (the next on the list) is just blackberry. However, <a href="http://images.google.com.br/images?q=ara%C3%A7%C3%A1">araçá</a>, <a href="http://images.google.com.br/images?q=bacuri">bacuri</a>, <a href="http://images.google.com.br/images?q=caj%C3%A1">cajá</a> and <a href="http://images.google.com.br/images?q=camu-camu">camu-camu</a> apear to be bona fide Latin America-only fruits, so they are next.</p>
