This was my breakfast in Mexico. Little sugared things. Shocking translation from frosted flakes... ;)
Here is another fun one: fried potato skins. Well, I can't say it wasn't false advertising, just not what I was expecting (then again I never understood why Anericans called a half of a baked potato a "potato skin" - now THAT is false advertising).
But wait, there is more! The expectation is to eat these cuties IN a tortilla with some lovely guacamole.
I didn't get a photo of the Argebtinian steak we ate the next day, but rest assured it was DELISH. We also had fried octopus tentacles, and some of my coworkers tried the Serrano peppers prepared "chile toriano."There were tears.
For you Mexican food aficionados out there, I also had chicken tacos, chicken in a peanut and pumpkin seed sauce, and chile relleno. Mole shrimp tacos are not my favorite new flavor... At the plant cafeteria there were lots of veggies and potatoes and new fruit to try, and yummy pina collada juice.
My fears of getting sick from the food were over the top, although after the first night when I forgot to say "no ice" with my bottled water and my dish came with lettuce and tomato, I was a bit reflux-y until morning. I think my stomach troubles are worse when I go to Europe because of jetlag.
It all tasted pretty great!
