Bag Lunch

People will debate to no end what food is "authentic" to a region. I love burritos and have yet to see one on a menu in Mexico anywhere; then again, I had "cheese volcano" for dinner at a restaurant last night. Today however, we went to the market for dinner-- what could be more authentic than food at the Sunday market, right? Almost before we could think about it, we had bought three bags of food. One mixture of tomatoes, onions, radishes and green beans, one of red rice and one of spicy, almost liquid, guacamole. No one would give us a fork, so we sat in the plaza, mixed the three bags and ate with plastic spoons from a corner store. Authentic? I´ll let you debate that at home. But delicious and affordable, yes. Twenty pesos (about $1.75) and it fed two with lots of leftovers!
