I will try to be clear, in a "panaderia" there are some sections, one, with
bolillos and teleras and so on "pan de sal" and another one with "pan de
dulce" there you can find "old fashion bisquets", that we call bisquets.

I am from Mexico City, and I have lived in 4 different states for few years
Puebla, in Atlixco; Veracruz, Martinez de la Torre; Chiapas, Tuxtla
Gutiérrez, and Michoacán, Morelia.

Ok, I respect your opinion, but don't share it.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I still think this way.

Sorry Linda, I don't have any Mexican food recipe book, well my husband got
one in Germany to get the name of the mexican ingredients in German mainly.
All my recipes are from my family relatives and friends. The bisquets ones I
have, because I have two, were given from my Granny "Tata Lucita"
(Zacatecas, 1900-1973) the other one my Granny "Beatriz" (Mexico City, 1910-
1965, btw, she was a cooking teacher).
