Thank you for the kind words and for commenting on the post. I adore cemitas — and pretty much all of the street/market foods in Puebla. I’d love to run into you someday in Atlixco if you get a chance to visit again. Wishing you all the best in 2012. ~Rebecca Hello, Gionvanni!

I have been here twice. My wife and her daughter (who I raised from the age of 4, so I should say my daughter) were born here. I probably love this town as much as you do! I was gonna go back in 2010, but I lost my job. I really hope you have tried the cemitas poblanas. Here in the States, they are a little difficult to find. Too bad I can’t afford to travel now, otherwise we might run into each other in Atlixco! The only gringos I have come across are Mormon; they have beautiful churches built in Atlixco, Metepec, and the city of Puebla. Sincerely, Giovanni Magana p.s. Please keep writing on your website, which I visit every now and then. Hello Rebecca,

You can't imagine how wonderful it was to be able to go visit a few times a year. Just watch out for your antenna, because the monkeys LOVE them (oh, and wipers too)!!!! I had picked up the errant piece of gum while driving, and well I thought they were gonna disassemble my explorer just for that darn gum! Utterly hilarious.

As a Mexican, and as Poblano, I want to thank you about the texts you've writen about the Mexican food. I was recently in France and the stereotype about our gastronomy has "reached" there as well. I would add that the Mexican Cuisine is commonly confused with the Tex-Mex food: chile con carne, fajitas, nachos, etc. As you wrote, there's a lot more! I will leave you just with a recomendation (in case you haven't tried it): mole de caderas. It is a "season dish" that you find between October and November. The meat used for it comes from the slaughter that every year happens in the region of Tehuacán. All the sheeps are gathered at the same time and killed (not the funny part, though) after a whole year of a special breading that includes little water and a high-salt diet which makes their meat tasty. It is prepared in a sauce called guasmole or mole. Because of all of this, a plate of mole de caderas y espinazos (backbone) reaches around 500 pesos in certain restaurants. It must be said that the places who offer this specialty have to order the meat with several months in advanced, hence their final price as well. Here you can find more info on the subject: http://www.lajornadadeoriente.com.mx/2009/10/19/puebla/cul524.php Read you soon.
