If this picture is familiar to you, it is because I'm reusing it. Since I don't have the time to write about every single product I buy for the #FoodandLit challenge anymore, I'll just do an overview at the end of the month. #Mexico is not only about spices and chili, as I was about to find out. There is so much to discover ❤

Pulparindo: Interesting mix of flavours. Sweet and sour and fruity at the same time. If you ⬇
I didn‘t quite get around to making tamales this month (though I have the stuff so might this month) but I did make some tortilla chips with the remainder of the corn tortillas we made (I swear aren‘t as burnt as they look as they were made with blue corn flour!) with a delicious pico de gallo salsa ☺️

Join us for our final month/ country in 2021! We're headed to the Philippines for December 🇵🇭

pick4/5 ⭐️ I enjoyed this book so much more than Mexican Gothic! Based on Mexican folklore featuring the gods of death. Loved the magic and adventure! If there were no animal sacrifices then this would have been a five star read.
This was my bookspin book for November.

pickThis book was WILD and I loved every minute it. #FoodAndLit #Mexico #20in4 book 3/4
Some interesting titles for this months #foodandlit I hope my library has one of them.
With #Jordan (Pillars of Salt) and #Qatar (My Life in Doha) finished in November, I have now just the Philippines left to finish #ReadingAsia2021. I saved this one for December to combine my read with #FoodAndLit.
I hope to start and finish my chosen book (America is not the Heart) soon, so I can maybe make an early start with #ReadingAfrica2022!
One more day to sign up for #wintergames here: https://forms.gle/8G1vWNSHPptZrvcE6
And for all our #foodandlit Littens, your hours reading for #foodandlit COUNT as a readathon for #wintergames! So you don‘t have to give up your book for the #Philippines for December to play.
So this is a reminder that the #Philippines is our last country this year!

De La Rosa: It‘s marzipan, but tastes and feels different from the one I know. Tiny, sweet, delicate. If I order at this shop again, this one will be bought again.
Ate de Guayaba: Paste made from Guava. Reminds me of jello, at least its texture does. I really like it and surprisingly you can combine it with many different kinds of food. I‘ve had it just alone, with bread, yogurt, vegetables, meat… ⬇ 12h
Rancheritos: Nice to try, but to me nothing that special. They are a bit more intense in flavour than the nachos we get here, that‘s it. Also - the bag is a scam.
Tostadas: I used them for everything. Even in a Tiramisu. Works. So if you‘re tired of always using normal wraps, try these instead.
Flor de Calabaza: Pumpkin flower. No recommendation, if ⬇ 12h
Mole: Just had to try it. And it wasn‘t bad. But I guess I‘d rather go for a home one next time. But I enjoyed it this time. I had my fun dipping all my vegetables, sausages and whatever into it. Also makes an interesting salad dressing.
Cuitlacoche: Mold growing on corn. Yes, mold. Yes, that‘s something of the most peculiar things I‘ve ever ate. Yes, I love ⬇ 12h
I once again loved all the new experiences. For December I couldn‘t find a shop, but since I‘m more into Christmas food anyway, I‘m fine with that. I‘ve already found some recipes to try, so I‘ll go with those 😊 12h
