Like I've said.... the evolution of Mexican cooking in the US is pretty much
dependent on availability of ingredients.

Try buying cabrito in this country. Or tender lamb. Or many of the listed
chiles and veggies.

Your recipes look great... and tantalizing... and impossible in most places.

I can buy all the cabrito or chivo I want from my Mexican neighbors.
They have big signs in their front yards. One guy has a tree trimming
business. He brings all the branches home and his goats eat the leaves
and bark

There is a large population of Mexican agricultural and dairy workers
here. In the larger towns (50,000 to 100,000 is a large town in this
county) it's 2/3rds Mexican and 1/3rd Anglo. If I wanted to drive over
to small towns that are almost 100% populated by Mexicans, I'm sure I
could get *anything* that is
available in Mexico.

I can get almost anything I want from Food4Less or the 99 Cents Only
Store and the Anglo population has no idea what to do with many of the
items canned in Mexican and shipped over here.

On the other hand, those who enjoy visiting Mexico might like to make
notes of regional specialties so they can look for restaurants over
there that serve interesting items.

Goat meat is available. Much more than armadillo

Well, lucky you!

I second your recommendation to make a note of your recipes. It will make
for interesting know-each-ohter type conversations anywhere in Mexico. And
that my furry friend, is what Mexican food is all about. It's the talk and
the eat and talk as just as important as the eating part.
