yum, Yum, YUM!

Street food.  I eat it, and love it. 

Throughout Mexico City, there are countless street vendors that sell pretty much anything you can imagine… fresh vegetables and fruits, cheese made that morning, bras, underwear, kids clothing, adult clothing, roasted nuts, dried fruits, false documents, things that they found along the street or in someone’s garbage that they think they can sell, old cell phone chargers, candy, shampoo, toothbrushes, other various hygiene products, old video games, pirated videos and CDs, fresh squeezed juices, bread, pizza, ice cream, roasted corn, tacos, a variety of local dishes… you get the picture. ;)

There are some foods that are sold by small mobile vendors or local miniature restaurants that I have grown quite fond of. 

Since I already look pretty out of place here, I haven’t taken any pictures of said establishments/food.  That would require me, the pale-skinned, light-haired, tall girl who often gets looked at like a foreign species to carry a camera… probably not the brightest idea to be flashing around something expensive when my pale features attract a heightened level of attention.

I mean, back home people joked around about me being pale enough to be albino.  Here, I’m pretty sure some people truly think I am albino… especially children.  They stare at me, it’s awkward, but by now, I’m used to it!

Anyways, I will be adding in random photos I find to go with the food I am describing.  Hopefully this compromise will suffice until I man up and snap some pics.

I will have a series of blog entries describing some of the food items I have greatly enjoyed since arriving in Mexico City.  Hope you like it!
