If each Mexican dish was a person, it would have a population larger than la Ciudad de Mexico – the fourth most populated city in the world. Okay perhaps a slight exaggeration, but even a Mexican wouldn’t know all the dishes of his own country – and that’s not an exaggeration.
The thing you need to know about Mexican food, is that they love chile (the spice), and there’s a whole range you can use. But you do need to remember – the spicier the food, the stronger the burn. And I’m talking about a burn when you eat it, a burn awhile later in your stomach and a burn when it’s coming out the other end. But for some crazy reason the chilli’s were hard to resist and the burn seemed bearable.
I spent about six months living with Mexicans, so apart from travelling through Mexico and trying all the street food, I was lucky to have the good home-cooked nosh whenever I wanted.
