how sweet it is...

So this one is food themed... hang on.. pretty much all of my blogs are food themed?! Ah well, lets pretend they're not, and all be super excited that this one is special and unique...

I have eaten some super strange things over the last six months - yep it's been half a year already - and here is a little list of highlights. I am proud to have been culinarily adventurous... wee hee how fun it is to say culinarily adventurous.. try cunningly culinarily adventurous... I diverge, here is the list

chapulines - crunchy grasshoppers cooked in lemon, chilli, tomatoe and salt. Good with beer, an alternative to peanuts?
tacos de cesos - brain tacos.. hmm.. yeah they were ok actually
sangre - coagulated blood.. not my favourite
tongue stew - look back through my ramblings for the story of the stew..
nopales - cactus! yummy.. in all different fashions..
nicoatole - jelly made from maize, milk and cinnamon.. with a skin of red sugar on top.. one of my favourites
tejate - this is a traditional drink made with cocoa and it has a froth of cocoa fat on top.. delicioso pero peligroso!
fried bull liver (I can't remember the name in Spanish) - actually I didn't like this much, so I wrapped it up in my napkin and gave it to some street dogs...

And here is a photo homage to icecream... quite a few of these were taken in the deserted Coney Island..

xxx I scream you scream we all scream for ice cream xxx

I was having trouble deciding which is better, ice cream or paintings of ice cream... I think the verdict is in... If I ever get divorced from my Mexican puppet man with guns husband, the next in line is the ice cream with moustache man. love.
