Yesterday I went to the big sunday market in a town about a half hour from here called Tlacolula. The market was fantastic, I learnt lots more about the food and did some Christmas shopping too! But the highlight of the day was what I ate!!!!!
First Memelitos. Oh my god. These are so simple but so delicious. Like little flat torilla boats with a little pork fat, refried beans, cheese and avocado and chile sauce. The flavours here come from the simple things. The chile sauce for instance made from smoked pasilla chiles, just give the food a unique flavour.
Later I had tacos. Again so simple but so delicious. Don`t worry when I get home I`m gonna figure out how to make these things in a western kitchen and post up some recipes!!! But best of all come to Mexico to try them yourself!!!
On the way back to Oaxaca I stopped in Tule. Home of the worlds largest tree! Its big! Impossible to photograph. Wanted to give it a hug but my arms wouldn`t reach. Plus there was a big fence in the way...
