Love the pickled (rather than raw) onions!
One of the markets in Oaxaca is like a huge “food court”. Everyone yells and shoves menus in your face. We tried something new to us, a typical Oaxacan (breakfast) drink, atole blanco. Just 2 ingredients: water and corn. A massa that’s been through a nixtamalisation process.
A day without chocolate in Oaxaca is a wasted day.
The partner says I hit the fruit jackpot in Oaxaca. I could eat fruits all day long.
“Fruit salad”. A massive bowl.
More than half litre of avocado-milk drink (just 2 ingredients).
Then shortly after I found these and bought one. Flesh is super dense and tastes sweet.
Love the photos
Echoing what @Phoenikia says. Your photos are positively swoon-worthy.
Thank you for taking us along for a virtual adventure!
I love breakfast! Today it was 4 (his) and 6 (mine) minute soft boiled eggs with soldiers.
Yesterday; steel cut oats with pippin apples and brown sugar, butter and milk. Sunday brunch was Spanish tortilla; eggs, russets, onions, olive oil and a topping of sour cream with garlic and preserved meyer lemons.
I think Saturday was croissant french toast with tayberry syrup.
Friday was a scramble with bells, onions, cherry tomatoes and manchengo.
And Piglet is always right ; )
Discovered the BRINS jam label some time ago and their rosemary grapefruit jam is the new reason for morning toast.
Wow!
Yummy. I’m going to try to make that!
I’ve had mamey milkshakes before, at Cuban and Puerto Rican places, but never seen the fruit. Wish I could grow it here.
Awesome pictures.
Mamey is aromatic. The flesh and big seed remind me of avocado. I scooped out the flesh with a spoon just like when eating avocado.
Here’s the one I bought and made it part of breakfast.
How to lose your abs fast… eat lots of of fruits and drink lots of beer every day. Who cares. I deal with it when I get home.
Grated jicama in the middle. Took me some time to finish this giant bowl and the avocado milk(shake). I gave up buying papaya at home. Papaya in Mexico is perfectly ripe every time, and flavourful. Mangoes as well. Mexico is fruit paradise.
Hot chocolate again. They brought us sugar, just in case. We always order ours 100% cacao without sugar.
Wood-carved hummingbird I bought on an excursion. It wants pure sugar water, though.
Mexicans love their chilli sauces and they are not only for savoury food. Yesterday I watched grown men and women eat tamarind paste on a stick. They dipped the tamarind in little individual plastic containers of chilli sauce. They ate all the sauce, too.
WHOAh
Nice selection.
so yummy
GDL/Guadalajara airport whilst waiting for a connecting flight to La Paz, Baja Sur. Travelling companion’s breakfast. Scrambled eggs with onions and tomatoes.
It was a very long day and I did not get an opportunity to eat anything. (Got up at 5am to catch 2 internal flights, 3,5hr bus journey, 1 hour taxi ride to reach Bahia Magdalena. Everyone is saying “you sure love Mexico”)
How you know you are in Baja Sur.
Big cactuses all along the bus route from La Paz to the border of south-north Baja peninsular.
My whale watching locations:
Last chocolate in Oaxaca
Whoa. Baja (Sur) feels like a different country having arrived from Oaxaca where cheese or chocolate is in almost everything. In Baja Sur, seafood anything is king and everyone is chill. Meanwhile Oaxaca is frenetic, colourful and too much of a sensory overload. I love both places.
Hope you finally got something to eat!
Cheese toast continues to be a breakfast staple.
Muenster on Dave’s Good Seed bread with smashed garlic cloves. There’s some bacon.
Blue Cheese toast has made several appearances. Mmmmmmm.
A cup of vegetable soup has also appeared, taking the place of the broth with garnishes. Hoping to find a good canned variety, vegs not over-cooked. I don’t have room in the freezer to make a big pot and divvy it up.
