    Bill and Lisa, I lived in Mexico City for about a year in the early '90's. I came to really relish (and am intermittently nostalgic for) *freshly made *corn tortillas (*taste and *smell), and in combination with cilantro on anything (whatever the protein), and lime. Many cultures have their own version of combination brilliance, this is some of Mexico's. Only discovered the two of you within these last weeks (have subscribed), and am enjoying your tenor with each other, your hearty and curious appetites, your gracious and low key spirits socially. Thanks for sharing these culinary treks with us.

    Yea!!!! Was hoping you'd go back.
    Salivating watching this, except for the champurrado, not a fan, but I'll take the hot chocolate.
    The only sweet tamale I've ever had is with raisins. Surprised to see pineapple and strawberry as options for tamales. Pork in red sauce for me.
    Haven't had lengua in a long time. It is some of the most tender meat. Just think of it as beef. Now I want some tamales and some lengua. Yummy.
    Growing up, after church on Sundays, we'd always go to a bakery and I always got a pineapple empanada. Have tried different flavors like apple, pumpkin, etc but my fav is still pineapple.
    Thanks for the offer. Willl be over to eat up the chicken and tortillas with you!! LOL
    Again, thank you for going back for a part 2. Maybe try part 3?

    The Tamale you got ( Jalapeno ) is not hot.. they chop it up and it looses its hotness.. I tried local homemade ones being sold thru craigslist.. and they just split the Jalapeno long ways and leave it in long strips.. and it will burn you up.. but thats time consuming and its eaiser to grab a handfull of chopped up or minced Jalapeno and throw it in the masa.
    But its still good tho.. just the heat is not really there.
