Here's the end result of the green tomatoes you saw boiling in the pot! It's the one of the right! They added chile guajillo, which is why it's red. Both salsas were delicious, but I actually liked the green one on the left better - I always seem to opt for green salsas!
Each table also held bowls of vinegared chiles with onion and carrots. I'm not crazy about eating chiles by themselves, but the carrots were delicious! A little "pica", but not bad. Just right, in fact!
And the meat!! Oh, the meat! The bottom half is what Ivonne and I ate and it was very delicious placed in a hot FRESHLY MADE tortilla, some salsa and buen provecho! But the top half of the plate was left for Mario to take home and enjoy himself! It's pancita - that means stomach! No thanks!! Every single part of the goat or sheep is used in this business - the head, the eyes, the stomach, the parts we gringos normally throw out, EVERYTHING! Nothing is wasted! Mario told us of a man in Salamanca who orders frozen goat meat from the country of Chile. It is shipped to the U.S. (why, I'm not sure!), then shipped here and he brings in tons and tons of it! Mexicans - at least most of them, Ivonne excluded!! - love pancita, menudo, innards of animals, yum yum! Anyone hungry yet?
Dessert for me was flan - Bethie, it was delicious! We couldn't have done better at home! Maybe you had some while you were here. Mario's daughter makes all their desserts and she certainly knows what she's doing!
Ivonne opted for a sweet bread, kind of like a cinnamon roll for her dessert. I didn't try it, but she said it was delicious. The Pepsi is Ivonne's, I had a delicious glass of fresh orange juice!
