| Paletas - so good they'll make your vision blurry! |
One of our favorite things in here is so-called Paletas -- Mexican ice pops!
These popsicles are amazing, and Mexicans love them too. In fact, one city in Michoacan even raised a statue of a paleta at the entrance to the town!
I had managed to forget about paletas (they are verrrry addictive) until I came across a story in the LA Times about how they are becoming more popular with Latin Americans in the US, and who can blame them...
"Chock-full of chunks of fresh fruit and available in a hypnotizing array of colors and clear, not-too-sweet flavors -- conjure images of hot afternoons in the park, time spent on a bench under a shady tree, clear blue skies dotted with red, white and green balloons..."
Damn you LA Times!
Jen & I are going home for Christmas soon & won't be able to get any of these in Canada.
Maybe we need to buy a cooler so we can bring some back with us :)
