Holy Moly. We've been talking about Mexican food since we left home.
Tacos. Man I Heart Tacos. Almost the reason for the whole trip. Its kind of a big deal. 5 for 25 pesos. (1.20 GBP)
New Mix, a classic from Mazatlan 2006. Tequila in a can, with Grapefruit or Salt and Liiiiiiime. Fresco! John still believes this photo isn't possible. You gotta beliiieeeve man!
Holy Moly, Mole. Chocolate on your chicken. Not as exciting as it sounds, just a bitter spicy sauce. But a delicacy of Oaxaca.
Relleno de Chile. Yes, there is a chili in and amongst all the fried cheeeeeeeeeese.
This is a Tlayuda. Looks like chicken inside but no, more cheese! Quesillo is another Oaxaca special, string cheese (abit like Mozzerella). N.B. Warm lettuce is illegal.
We sampled some Mezcal, Oaxaca's answer to Tequila. John got unlucky with the bottom of the bottle and the 2 worms residing down there. Eeeeeuwwww.
Guys, sorry I haven't left you a message in ages, but have been avidly following your adventures with a strange mixture of excitement, jealousy and nostalgia! It looks like you've had such a great time, I cannot wait to reminisce with you both over a pint of luke-warm bitter and a Sunday roast!
ReplyDeleteReally hope you have a fantabulous time over your next, final few weeks (eeek!) and I also hope that you are excited about coming home to see everyone (word of warning, that excitement will probably only last for about 5 days, then you'll be ready to jet off again!:) )
Muchos love to you both from me and Fillster! :)x
