This is the cactus they usually use to make Mezcal
But the factory does grow some other ones
For expensive specialty bottles
First they chop off all the leaves
And then they take a truckfull of the cores, which they call pineapples
And dump them in a big fire
To roast
Then they crush it
Into this
And then they stick it in a barrel with a mat overtop
To get this
And then they distill it
These are agave worms
Which can be put in the Mezcal while it’s aging or eaten as a side dish
Yum
