Mexico is famous for its exciting foods, and some of the most surprising are its ice cream flavors. On a trip to Guanajuato, the author finds ceviche ice cream, which has seafood and citrus tastes. Even though it sounds strange, many people enjoy trying flavors such as shrimp, michelada, mole, and sweet options like lavender, avocado, and angel’s kisses. The city’s food stands are full of new treats waiting to be discovered.
After tasting the ice cream, the author finds another surprise: a homemade vegan blueberry cheesecake made by a local family in the park. This dessert is gluten-free, lactose-free, and sugar-free, so it’s great for people with different diets. The cheesecake is so good that it becomes her breakfast, and she laughs and shares the experience with the friendly family.
Another delicious find is a pastry called bollos preñaos, which looks like little piggies but is just bread, not meat. These pastries are stuffed with sweet or savory fillings, such as mushrooms, blackberries and cheese, or quince paste with cream cheese. The author can’t get enough of these cute snacks, buying them every day, even though she worries about her waistline. Guanajuato’s unique foods make the trip unforgettable.
