While in Mexico I sampled as many goodies as I could! Below are pictures of some of the exciting food that I saw and ate.

Grilled prickly pear - called nopales. They tasted like yummy crunchy veggies. Check out yesterday's post of the botanic gardens to see the actual plants.

Paletas: I had pistachio flavor but it was difficult to chose!

Hand-making tortillas in a restaurant. The dough is being pressed and then is cooked on the hot plate at the side.

At a food market: note the pig's head! We couldn't get a seat because it was just too busy.

Marzipan fruit being sold on the side of the road. I love the fruit baskets.

Grilled corn cobs, which are served smeared in mayonnaise, cheese and chilli. On the side are corn kernels that are served in cups also with mayonnaise, cheese and chilli. Both are delicious!

    CHURCHILL-ABRS FELLOWSHIP

    In 2012, I was awarded a Churchill Fellowship sponsored  by the Australian Biological Resources Study. 
    This blog features postings about the many stops on my itinerary as I meet other scientists and visit botanic gardens in my goal to conserve Australia's endangered cycads.
