also, possibly a username problem …

yes indeed, glad you’re attempting to overcome the struggle of life like us all … good luck to you

Sure, it’s always at least accompanied by a good spicy salsa. It’s definitely different from the food further north though. Tacos are there but they’re not as good as Mexico City, for the most part. My absolute favorite thing to eat there are the tlayudas especially from the vendors on the street which you, conversely, won’t find up north … at least not good ones. The mezcal is also awesome and I love a good mole … I’ve still never found one as good as an ex girlfriend’s mom once made me 😅 but what I had in Oaxaca came pretty close

yeah it’s called la calle de los paraguas next to the witch’s market…I suppose they provide a modicum of shelter as well ☺️

yeah good way of putting it 👍

happy to be your hell, good citizen ☺️ I wish you the best

do we have to be burdened by western existential narratives vis a vis Orwellianism that don’t scale? seemingly, yes! society seemingly doesn’t scale gracefully … though China looks better-adapted to present reality

ah, and the challenges to scale once again hit the wall … they’ll have to use AI to police maintainers to keep them from using AI 😂

odd looking dumpling, I thought

I think that’s a good way of putting it. Apparently, there are at least six places called “Copacabana” around the world. This is the original one and derives from an Aymara phrase meaning “view of the lake.” Almost all other locations trace their name back to the Bolivian town via devotion to the Virgin of Copacabana … as per what Wikipedia and Wikitravel tell me

You’re welcome! 😅 I’m glad you’re enjoying them. I’m from the States, but I’ve been traveling in South America for a little over a year now. I realized that I had all these pics sitting around that I’ve collected and thought this would be a good way to get them seen by somebody. ☺️

Indeed, they’ll take on the flavor of whatever you add to them just like potato chips. Otherwise, it’s just a different crunchy texture.

La Calaca, al lado de la plaza

grotesquely apathetic, actually

haha I remember going to Mexican restaurants as a kid in Texas and thinking it was a fancy place if they served food in a molcajete 😅 they’re pretty common in Mexico… this is bar food at a place in Coyoacan

aji sauce ☺️ over chicken and potatoes with rice and hard-boiled egg. I believe that was a touch of parmesan though I’m not privy to the entire magic mix of ingredients.

is emule still a thing…? cool 😎

That’s the old cyclic karma of the Abrahamic, no? … It’s always the end times

mid-March earlier this year

the irony… 😂
