I forgot to take a photo of Chili en nogales, so here’s another traditional dish (sorry, don’t remember the name). On the left side of the plate there is Nachos cheese and on the right side there is black chili. In the middle of the plate is a normal tortilla filled with chicken and some vegetables.

Markets offer lots of local specialties, which aren’t recommended for foreigners. We didn’t care about those recommendations and tried a vegetarian black tortilla (bean sauce, green beans, cheese, parsley and hot chili sauce). Photo taken in Ciudad de Mexico.

Enchiladas con pollo. Enchiladas is almost as famous as a taco, but you almost never get a style-wise identical Enchiladas. This one had empty tortillas at the bottom layed like pancakes and those were covered with thin slices of chicken and cheese. The whole dish was “swimming” in a sauce made of cheese, oil and some other unknown ingredients. Photo taken in Ciudad de Mexico.

There are many small, family-owned restaurants along the road around the famous volcano Popocatepetl (Mexican abreviation is just Popo). One of those restaurants offered me a Bistec (a Mexican thin steak). A daughter of the house made about five tortillas and the mother made me the steak. Of course, I didn’t get just a steak – there were a few sauces (see next photo), two avocados and cooked beans. Photo taken on the road arond Popo.

We tried a higher-end restaurant in Morelia. Apart from traditional Mexican food, really interesting was the appatizer – some sweet baked roles covered with a red chili sauce and a sour cream. Photo taken in Morelia.

I lost somewhere the photo of my chinese noodle soup. So, here’s a photo from Beijing Buffet in South San Francisco (near the SFO airport). Beijing Buffet is an “all you can eat” chinese restaurant (with some dishes from Japan and Korea)… 🙂 Well, I ate two plates per dinner, but I didn’t shoot photos every time. On this photo you can see (from top to bottom): shrimps made in cocoa, chinese duck, chicken with brocolli, sushi, chicken with onion and cuttlefish. Photo taken in San Francisco.

A fun lovin’ criminal drinks a large Miller draft. The cheapest beer in Gringoland was in a rather big Casino in Carson city (Nevada), where I earned $12.75 in a machine poker game (good enough for a few $2.75 Miller drafts – funny, there’s no tax on beer in some bars in Nevada). Photo taken on a gas station in Utah (!).
