I have seen sopa de garrobo in a carniceria here in Roswell.  I asked
the owner what it was 'cause I wasn't familiar with it.  He told he 
"lizard soup, it is for getting better."   It isn't a fast seller here, but it
does sell.

I guess lizard soup is good for the soul too.  From whatI have heard
it is pretty good.  I haven't seen any actual garrobo meat in the market 
though.

Maybe I'll pick some up and bring it to Pennsic with me next year.
Can't be any worse than the Gator gumbo and ribs I have had already.
