Affirming the cult of maize - corn, fresh cob risen in the New World, survives to this day except in the form of tacos - cakes from the aforesaid cereal, favorite Mexican street food, which, when compared with something to us customary, would correspond to the so loved once in our country pies for five cents, and at least favorite, though not exactly "our" pasties and not harmful to our and hamburgers.

This idea is unimportant I tried to convey to the Spanish host Tucker consciousness don Rene Orihelya, but he did not understand me. And it is not because of poor Spanish, but for a different reason - my mouth was packed full of just tacos, but allow me to decline the linguists the word.

I dipped one day ... breath away instantly.

Maybe, just acting venom of coral snakes and some tropical frogs, paralyzing the respiratory system. Then he came out from his eyes, and, sorry, from the nose - but how! Don Rene and then threw at me from behind the counter a sympathetic look and sent me on the table a bottle of local mineral water - by itself. But to fill in a fire is not completely succeeded. A further two-week stay in Mexico was like under the sign of the potent gastric funds.

I strongly turned his head, looking at visitors Tucker around me, trying to figure out how best to eat tacos - your hands or a fork, and learned that the inexperienced consumer is best to put on a corn pancake quite a bit of stuffing, gravy drip and carefully wrapped. screwdriving process is very important, because it affects the condition of your shirts and trousers: the majority of visitors Tucker, they were far from being in perfect condition, but people seemed experienced regulars, and the place was a lot of napkins. From any corner will certainly somebody something treacherous drizzling and flowed. From my products are not leaked anything! Probably affected long-term experience of eating chebureks on resorts of Crimea and the Caucasus, in the absence of napkins.
