Volcano -- Got the wiki link for it... It's called the Armero Volcano, and apperantly, it killed 20,000 people, not 80,000... still very tragic, leaving only about 9,000 people in the valley alive, and leaving a mental scar that those people still haven't recovered from.

EBF -- The seed-mucus-things were very slimey and wriggley, so it was hard to keep them on a spoon (the locals gave us shallow spoons too, and that made balancing the seeds kinda part of the challenge of eating them). The mucus was very sweet (almost like sugary jello) and, for lack of a better word, "fruity" in flavor, but I really can't describe the taste better than that because it's been so long. The seeds were really hard and black, and when you cracked them, it felt almost like eating the shell of a miniature sunflower seed... you know, with splintery shards and a fleshy part in the middle. Some people spit out the seeds, others didn't, so I don't know if one way was better than the other.
