Reply #34: Nope it is not

I bake cookies from time to time, I consider them a REAL TREAT.

But desert, from the time I was a kid is an apple or an orange. Ice-Cream, cookies, puddings, they were treats from when we had guests.

Now to your mexican kids, it is the preparation. A common dish in mexico is chiles con rajas



This is not something you could serve American kids, and it will take time to prepare. It is spicy.

Also the other common form is pureed, but french fries (especially the thin fries in the US) is not common in Mexico.

Also I got some Mexican candy... made with Amaranth seed... Me and one of the two conures loves it... it is far less sweet.

That said, junk food is invading mexico like a bad dream... with the increase in diabetes, and obesity to boot.
