Mexican Food "During the month of September, in Mexico we celebrate the independence day. And is one of those days where people gather together and eat some delicious mexican food. Fortunately I was able to try and eat many different styles of mexican food. Out of all the traditional dishes I have eaten, my favorite ones have always been Mondongo and Zacahuil. "

"Mondogo, or as some people may know it as Menudo. Mondongo is a soup, a very interesting one since it is, made out slow-cooked diced cow tripe and garbanzo beans. Some people, might get disgusted by it, but when it is correctly prepared it is a very delicious soup."

"Zacahuil?, yes. I even doubled check the spelling. Since I was a little kid remember every time my family and I used to visit my relatives, we would stop in a city just to eat this tamale. A difference from many mexican tamales, Zacahil is at least 20 times bigger than any of them. Measuring up to 2 meters. It can feed at least 50 people. "
