There the meat is a delicacy, a cure-all and an aphrodisiac.
garrobos.

I think that's media hype: I never heard such a thing in my life.

garrobo soup

Yum! In Wooster Sauce!

If your garrobo happened to have been an egg carrying female, then the eggs were put into the soup as well. Good stuff.

Nicaragua, likewise, traditionally makes sopa de garrobo of iguanas, rice, and vegetables its primary Lenten diet.

Seems to be a soup that one consumes during lent which is sort of an acceptible method of 'cheating' with respect to consumption of 'meat'.
