Food thus far

            Lunch today was a fantastic surprise, we had tacos!  Unexpectedly, we haven’t had many of them.  Usually we’ll be given some sort of meat (which will be very good on its own) and then handed plain corn tortillas.  Then you’re expected to cut your own meat and put it on the tortilla with no cheese, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, or any of the other taco-toppings we love.  I’d rather eat the meat plain.  But today’s taco was the real deal, with all the toppings, except instead of sour cream we had “crema,” which is white and poured out of carton.  I’m not quite sure what is in it. 

            We also had soup, which we always have for lunch.  We are also always given a lime to squeeze over the soup.  I don’t find this particularly good, but I do it because I’m in Mexico!  I know some of my friend’s host moms squeeze limes over all their food.  Limes must be cheap because Delia goes through at least two limes a day.

            For lunch desert we had “pan dulce” which is sweet bread.  Some sweet breads are very good, and others not so much.  Today I picked a good one.  So far the only thing that I’ve had a really hard time swallowing was some sort of bean soup.  Other than that, food isn’t too much different from home (I still don’t like corn tortillas though).
