Local Nosarans awoke today to the unexpected news that the Nosara Conservation Association (NCA) has expanded its range of authority to local chicharrónes stands.  A new directive spells out in no uncertain terms that vegan options will be required. Worried locals tell Nosara Lately that the newly mandated vegan options will probably spell the end for the beloved Colombian chicharrones that are traditionally positioned at the bottom right at local stands.

“Our mandate is to protect the maritime zone – especially our fragile turtle population – and to continue carrying out all the critical work in Nosara that has for so many years – unfortunately – been abandoned by the national authorities. Enforcement of  a vegan option at our local chicharrones stands is a crucial step forward in this regard.” [email from NCA spokesperson Pedro Morales Guzmán]

The logic of this bold new regulatory thrust was not entirely clear to NosaraLately at press time. A quick round to several local strands did not reveal any vegan options, though signs of hoarding were visible – the Colombian chicharrones were selling unusually well for a Tuesday afternoon. “People don’t even want the tortillas,” said one local stall owner. “They are just telling us to top off the bags.”

Nosara Lately will keep a close eye on this situation and alert our loyal readers should this situation become any more comprehensible.
