I eat a lot at home every single day. I like a lot of things; I’m not really a picky eater. What I usually have is a nice big juicy steak or a large pizza. I’m not really a big fan of salad or sushi. The things I do like my dad makes on a regular basis. My dad has to be one of the greatest chefs, ever. But in Mexico he didn’t cook at all, instead we went out to Mexican restaurants where we enjoyed a different kind of eating.
My favorites were shrimp and steak. The shrimp in Mexico, called camarones, was served completely different than ours. Shrimp in the U.S. is usually served steamed with nothing on it, but the shrimp in Mexico was cold with tomato, onions, cilantro, and a side of jicama. The steak, however, was just about the same at home except it was a lot more tender and served with a side of jicama.
Speaking of jicama, Mexican people have lots of fruits and vegetables in their diet. Every morning we had fruits such as jicama, watermelon, mango, papaya, and strawberries. The Mexican people go to the market every few days and buy fruits and vegetables as they need them.
The market was a very interesting place because there was a bunch of food but there were also a lot of toys, clothes, gadgets, and candy. It was filled with hundreds of people all looking to buy something. I loved looking at the candy and fruits, but instead of those things, I bought a belt buckle, a cool new wallet, a new polo shirt, and a new watch. Although I can't eat any of them, it was fun to shop surrounded by the aromas of the Mexican food. On the way home I spotted a Dominos I asked if I could get some but my dad said he refused to get Dominos in Mexico.
