traditional market of the capital of the state,

PRODUCTS FORM THE DESERT
Great part of the territory in San Luis Potosi is desert,
a reason why its gastronomy includes delicious plants
like cactaceae to prepare several dishes.
Biznaga (a kind of barrel cactus) is a round cactaceae of
big size, whose pulp is used to prepare acitrn sweet,
to cook stews, or in desserts. Its flower buds, called
cabuches, are cooked and served as vegetables or as
ingredients in salsas, pickled in brine, or in other stews.
And of course, there are the guamiches, which are the
fruits of the biznaga, used for fresh flavored waters, ice
cream, desserts, and jams. There is a very small type of
biznaga whose fruits are eaten as snacks, called chilitos
(small chili peppers) for their shape and color.
Nopales are another kind of cactus, whose pencas (sta-
lks) are eaten tender, either grilled, cooked, or in soups,
salads, salsas and other stews. When the pencas are
recias (big and mature), their insides are cooked in a
preparation called nopales hearts. The prickly pears,
or the fruits from nopales, are also eaten as snacks, or
used to prepare fresh flavored water, ice cream, prickly
pear cheese, melcocha and syrups. Xoconostles are
a sort of prickly pears of sour flavor, used to prepare
broths, moles and sauces, to accompany mezcal, or to
produce sweets.
From the bilberry cactus (Image 53), we mainly eat its
pink colored and sweet flavored fruits, preparing jams,
fresh flavored water, ice cream, popsicles and raisins
with them. The flowers are also edible, fried as chips or
included in soups or stews.
Chochas are the flowers from the yucca, which are
cooked with eggs to stuff bocoles, or served in salsas.
KID
It is the baby goat that has been fed solely with milk
and is no older than 6 months of age. It is cooked in
different ways; grilled, roasted, in beer, in red chili pep-
per, in sour orange, in mustard, in its own juices and in
its own blood.
TYPICAL DISHES AND BEVERAGES
BOCOLES
These are small corn gorditas with lard, which inflate
when cooked making it easier to cut them open and
stuff them with some kind of stew, like beans, chicha-
rrn, nopales, or chochas with eggs.
SESAME SEED ENCHILADAS
These are freshly made corn tortillas, which are soaked
in a sesame seed and piqun chili pepper sauce, deco-
rated with grated fresh cheese.
SAN LUIS POTOS
MEZCALES BILBERRY CACTUS
CABUCHES ENCHILADAS POTOSINAS
ENCHILADAS POTOSINAS
These are small tortillas made with corn masa mixed
with ancho chili pepper, which gives them a particular
orange color. Still raw, they are stuffed with cheese and
red salsa to then fold them, seal them and put them
to cook on a comal. They are served decorated with
grated cheese, onions, cream and avocado.
FIAMBRE POTOSINO
This cold dish is prepared with pork cheese, beef ton-
gue, pork loin, fresh cheese, lettuce and onions, which
are all served in thin slices, seasoned with a vinaigrette
and cured gero chili peppers.
ZACAHUIL
This is a big tamale that can feed up to a hundred or
more people. It is prepared with mashed corn masa,
chino and piqun chili peppers, one pigs meat, and
wrapped in banana and papatla leaves, cooking it all
inside a conventional oven for several hours. The dish
is served in individual portions with shredded meat on
top, over a piece of banana leaf.
MEAD
It is the sweet sap of transparent color obtained every
day from the magueys pulqueros, which should be
drunk the same day it was collected as it will quickly
ferment and transform into pulque. This beverage is
very common in Real de Catorce.
MEZCAL
This is a liquor obtained from the agave, accredited
with Designation of Origin, and made from the pines
or hearts of the agavero maguey, which are roasted
in ground ovens to then mash them and leave them
to ferment. The fermented juice is distilled and so, the
mezcal is obtained. This beverage is consumed on its
own in one of its three variants (white, rested or aged),
accompanied with salt and xoconostles.
JOBITO
This beverage is handcrafted from jobos (creole plums)
mashed in sugarcane liquor with sugar, and served
really cold as a digestive after meals.
