Comida Mexicana

¡Hola a todos!

I have been having an awesome time here in Guanajuato! A quick rundown of the past two days; on Monday, I went to El Museo de las Momias, a museum showcasing mummies from Guanajuato's colonial period. It was unclear whether or not we could take photos, so unfortunately, I do not have any. Today, we went to Dolores and San Miguel de Allende. Dolores is a city in which the Mexican revolution really picked up and led to Mexico's independence. San Miguel de Allende is a city with a beautiful church and many mercados. You will find out more about mercados in the next post or the one after.

Today, I would like to showcase some of the food here. I am just going to go through a series of pictures and state the name of the food with a short description:

Pozole, a spicy soup often with lettuce and tortilla.

Marzipan, one of my new favourite
foods. It is called mazapán in
Mexico, and is almost just sugar with some nuts.

These are some fried anchovies
crackers I bought in San
Miguel. They are very good
but also extremely salty.

Sopa de veduras, a mild soup
with a mix of vegetables.

Nutella donuts made by my
host mother. They are
dusted with sugar.

This is a drinking device.
It is often used for alcohol.
You pour in the drink
through the top and
drink it out of the beak.

Sweets from a sweet shoppe. They are similar to
flavored caramel.

This is corn with mayonnaise, cheese, and salty chili powder. It is common and very tasty street food.

Huevos rancheros. It is fried eggs with a tomato sauce.

This is garbanza, a common street food made of beans similar to edamame and mixed with many spices.

Sopa azteca, one of my favourite
Mexican dishes. It is spicy soup
usually with tortilla and avocado.
