La comida en el camino!


So while having an extended stay in Mexico, we have all experienced the unique foods and combinations. Trolibuses the first night followed by a wide selection of sorbets. Guacamole EVERYWHERE!! Salbutes (circular corn tortilla topped with pulled smoked chicken and tomatoes.) with Ruby's homemade hot sauce. This sauce consisted of Serrano and Habanaro Peppers!! My favorite main dish was the Poc Chuc which was basically Pork smoked and grilled to perfection, topped with cabbage, tomato, avocado, and all saturated in sour orange juice (YUMM-O). For breakfast we have had fresh fruit (mangoes, watermelon, pineapple and some not so successful Papaya) and American pancakes with Honey! Cactus taco (yes spikes removed) and Cochinita (Pork) and potato tacos. Marquisates (crepes with Nutella and/or edam cheese - thing chocolate cheesecake - GRO D) were a festival favorite! Fizz Pops and Sponch were the travelling road snacks.... Fizz Pops are delicious but the Sponch.... we don't recommend it. :) Chocolate Mole, churos - chocolate and cinnamon sugar, homemade coco ice cream, queso relleno (think cheese explosion), habanero sauce on every table, then movie food....sandwiches, classy popcorn, and warmish sushi! As far as drinks go jamica tea, limonada (con gas), orchata (some rice, sugar and milk drink), mexican Coke (way sweet!), and the infamous "Jug" of water the boys have been carrying for the past few days.
