A very New Mexican sight ... we bought this at the same time, and from the same people, as our Christmas tree and door wreath, and hung it inside the wreath until it was time to take it down ... and now the ristra is hanging on one of the pillars holding up our portales - the covered terrace - out back. They look decorative, but we could, of course, eat them (they need soaking in water, first, but then would be fine) - I've certainly been known to raid a supposedly decorative ristra when finding myself out of chile - although that's not something that's very likely to happen, given the contents of our store cupboards and freezer.
