I guess ice cold milk to wash it down with is totally out of the
> question.



Nope, Jose Lopez was the lone mexican who ate that ugly buttermilk biscuit
served in La Pesca, Mexico circa 1986. Laura Esquivel, reported he had it
with "café con leche." :-)

All one needs consider is the amount of homemade cheese we find in Mexico
and the fact Mexicans in the country seldom waste anything. Food is very
regional throughout Mexico. In and around Rio Soto and south to Largo
Catamaco armadillo
tacos were often found in small villages. I got to like them before I found
out what it was. The goat cheese made on those remote ranches near Real de
Catorce I have yet to find anywhere along the boarder.

This reminds me of a gruel I'll never forget from the 70's in El Paso del
Toro, made with chicken broth and corn meal of which I've never seen a
recipe. It was just called _Olla_, just really good chicken broth with
corn meal to thicken. This is great in a thermos on a cold day fishing.

doc :-)

P.S. Anyone reading this post ought to know I was snacking on Wasabi Peas
during the commission of this message.
