The future of Pulperias

I still like the personal touch of a Pulperia, but this would be kind of neat. Vending Machine or Pulperia?

Call me dumb

but I don't know what a pulperia is. Help anyone.

Dumb - OK

Very Small Grocery Store.

Thanks Alan

I'll get there. I haven't made it to that word on the Spanish cd's yet.

Dumb

I don't think you'll find it on your CDs

I don't think you'll find it on your CDs . . . I haven't seen or heard it on mine or in any of my dictionaries either.

Dictionaries

Is it a Spanish Dictionary, Latin American Dictionary, Nicaraguan Dictionary? Just because it's not in a dictionary you happen to have, doesn't mean it's not a real word.

Here is an intresting link about the word"

Spanish WikiPedia Pulperia

Oh, I know it's a real word . . .

No Pete, I was looking in a Norweigian disctionary and could find pulperia . . . ; ) You kill me ; ) Oh, I know it's a real word . . . and my dictionario is muy basic . . . I meant I hadn't been able to find it in "a" spanish language dictionary and I was curious about it's etymological root. Thanks for the link. MA should contribute his version to Wikipedia . . . ; )

Je je

Sounds like I might have been right.

were you just guessing . . .

cause that seems like you're right on . . . give that man a soda ; ) we'll done.

Just a soda?

It's worth at least a Victoria.

sure, it has CO2 in it, make it a Victoria then

sure, it has CO2 in it, make it a Toña then

the doggie

Are doggies the major security forces of that area?

Competition

I think he was sent over by the competing pulperia to scare off anyone wanting to purchase a "hot dog" on their way to school.

Pulperia = convinience store

Pulperia is a store that sells pulpos (octopus) as well as other things.

How much for this one?

how do we get from . . .

how do we get from . . . octopus to corner store ; ) any idea of the origin?

Yes - I Know the Answer

Pulperias originally only sold octopus meat, but, the pulperias kept adding other items due to demand for beer and rum and finally all pulperias stopped selling lobster meat due to the popularity of turtle meat.

are we hunting for snipe? )

are you pulling my leg . . . cause it sounds plausible but this could be you having it over on a Canadian for sport.

I had a brainstorm

Ok, maybe a light drizzle. Perhaps it's called a pulperia because when it's full of kids, the proprietor has to have 8 arms to reach all the candy and gum, take the kids' money, smack the kids that are shoplifting, and operate the caja.

Or, maybe it's because they sell octopus.

and at Ferreterias

No place to buy pet Ferrets cheaper than at Nicaraguan ferreterias.

Does octopus taste like squid?
