fdt, what are panocha de gajo and alfiñique?
Lencho, please sign me on for the Oaxacan tortilla tour! |
Lencho should also know this, Panocha de gajo is cane syrup with orange and alfiñique, real name alfeñique is like a caramel twisted in different
shapes also made of sugar |
Thanks for the info fdt! I like Mexican sweets, especially cajeta and those made with fruit or vegetables, like those sugar soaked sweet potatoes.

Hey, why not just make our own in La Paz?

Queso fresco del Rancho. You have to try it at a ranch where they make cheese. Mesquite Smoked Marlin is real good too.
Also the burritos de machaca from San Betoldo.

How come nobody's mentioned Mexican candy? Strangest stuff I've ever tasted. There ought to be a gringo warning label on the wrapper.

That's for sure! Funny you mention candy. My teenage son showed me an article about the high levels of lead in the domestic candy. He was worried
because his kast birthday was in Mulege and featured a pinata with local candies packed inside. Needless to say that was the toughest pinata to break
I've ever seen. I said not to worry, you refused to eat the strange stuff
anyway. I don't think anyone ate it.
What the hell is it??

Lead in candy?  Jeez! No lead in salsa, chips, dips etc.? Do you get a discount
for lead-free or is lead extra?

Specialty foods at the Jungle, Mulege
Somebody is always bringing a specialty food gift treat for the patrons of this Cheers-like establishment. This time it was
sushi. The other day it was grilled dove breasts flambe and stuffed peppers. Bon apetite!
p.s. The happy-looking guys in this photo are among the patrons who were very instrumental in raising money & providing labor to help clean up the
river flood debris and restoration of the south boat ramp after Hurricane Juan. Kudos.

..this is making me hungry!
On loving good Baja cheese I certainly will agree, bajajudy. A Mulege amigo's mother not only makes the best pickled octopus, but also their ranch
goat cheese is too die for.
And another specialty food found only in Baja...Sta. Rosalia's own boleo bakery. Fresh right out of the oven...pass me the butter
and raspberry jam, please.
