Also try the "quesadillas". They are not the ones you find at the restaurants but, made with flour dough and an atole blanco curd on them. They used to put cheese on top of them and called them "quesadillas". In Salamanca also, there is a lady from Valtierrilla who sells them at the mercado Tomasa Estébez I think. She makes "quesadillas prietas" or dark ones with brown sugar, whole wheat, pepper and cheese. I think they are the best! I need to find her address and give it to you. She sells them so quickly that you need to be there when she arrives. Anyway, happy travels.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291406779408928643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985623786044384912.post-88623611616061268132008-12-04T13:44:00.000-06:002008-12-04T13:44:00.000-06:00Steve,You shouldn't try to talk with a mouth full ...Steve,<BR/>You shouldn't try to talk with a mouth full of muéganos :)<BR/><BR/>Gloria,<BR/>I'm saving some for you :)<BR/><BR/>Teresa,<BR/>¡Viva Cuba Libre!<BR/><BR/>Yaya,<BR/>You are so kind.

Matter of fact, hemp is useful for a lot of things, but the paranoia about "that other hemp" prevents us looking into it.1st Matehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05276608080436409432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985623786044384912.post-9680052523390310112008-12-03T21:40:00.000-06:002008-12-03T21:40:00.000-06:00Bob, just wondering about something here. Do you t...Bob, just wondering about something here. Do you think maybe you could someday do a story about mexican hot chocolate? On another blog, they shared a picture of a chocolate cafe establishment in Mexico City. I think that is just so neat, being that the main ingredient is native to Mexico. I'm wondering if where you live they have chocolate houses where you can go and sip mugs of hot cocoa also. That and coffee is of great interest to me. I've always dreamed of owning a coffee /chocolate shop. I know coffee is way cheaper in Mexico.<BR/><BR/>Just food for thought. You always find such great things to write about.YayaOrchidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12903215880257353340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985623786044384912.post-3966382415247186042008-12-03T21:10:00.000-06:002008-12-03T21:10:00.000-06:00Bob, muy bien mi buen amigo.

Tan interesado estoy que me gustaría prepararlos en casa. <BR/><BR/>Otra cosa que yo quisiera hacer es "pan de leche". En Salamanca venden un pan de leche muy bueno. En la panadería de la Santísima Trinidad que se encuentra en la calle Zaragoza, muy cerca de la plaza. Te tengo otra historia en mi visita a Salamanca que después comentaré. También tienen otros tipos de pan muy buenos. Incluyendo unos llamados chinos. No creo que sean de china pero tinen un sabor muy bueno. <BR/>Felicidades amigo.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291406779408928643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985623786044384912.post-55437007288680279852008-12-03T13:21:00.000-06:002008-12-03T13:21:00.000-06:00This was a lot of fun learning about.

As well as the analogy of how Mexican culture is likened to a muegano in the way they 'stick' together and resist change. Something to think about.<BR/><BR/>I'll tell you what, you know more about Mexican culture than even Mexicans do! That is why I enjoy your blog so much, because it's educational and makes you think.YayaOrchidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12903215880257353340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985623786044384912.post-22337514466582874582008-12-03T00:59:00.000-06:002008-12-03T00:59:00.000-06:00very interesting. shortly after i started reading...very interesting. shortly after i started reading it i was reminded of turrones so when you mentioned them i thought, "aha, they do look like them." i'm from cuba and we traditionally have them for christmas as well. flan, arroz con pollo and turrones, are among the many things our forefathers brought to our country. i get to go to miami for 2 weeks later this month so will get to eat many treats we don't get here in western wa. the bakery will be one of my first stops.<BR/><BR/>happy eating ;-)<BR/><BR/>teresaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985623786044384912.post-83488343840790615762008-12-02T23:44:00.000-06:002008-12-02T23:44:00.000-06:00Bob if you look on You Tube and type in Nuegados, ...Bob if you look on You Tube and type in Nuegados, a few videos come up.
