''Tortillas" constitute the mos; popular bread oft lie people. These are corn cake? made of water and dough only. The dough I is made by soaking the corn in lime water I until the hull comes off ; then the corn is ground by hand with a rolling-pin on a flat rock. The cake is patted out by band and j baked over charcoal (ires, after which din? ner is ready, as many of the pom- people I oat little else. l?or variety the tortilla is sprinkled OVOi with ground green popper, clabber cheese, sab. chopped lettuce, pota? toes aud some fruit: then rolled up and fried in lard and then wo have "enchiladas," a popular delicacy of the people. Noxl a small loaf of broad is cut in two and each side is sprinkled with sail, popper, vinegar, olivo oil, cheese, fruit and vegetables ; then wo have "tarta compuesta" for a feast. .Next corn meal dough mixed with meat, red pep? per, nab, oil and other condiments, and the whole boiled in corn shucks ; then wu have "tamales," the dumpling ol the country. Sashed meal, served in a thick red-popper stew, is served upas "chile-con came." The first time we look this it gavo us vivid roc ollection8 of our first of April eandy-cay enno-peppor pills; but in time the stranger learns to go.it. like a "greaser." Cbilo-rel leno is made by filling a largo red pepper pod with cheese and vegetable bash and wrapping the whole in a coat of Hour dough. They are cooked as dumplings and oaten whole as a roa?t apple, holding it in tho hand by tho stem end. The average Mexi? can counts this one of the good thiugBof tho kitchen. "Fideos"' is macarroni and rice boiled with chile relleno. "Carne mechada" is made of stewed bash, red pepper, cab? bage, turnips and carrots, and served with vinegar and olive oil. "Alhoudigas" is made of cold hash, green pepper, vegetables, fruits, ch<.o and the w hole highly seasoned with vinegar, spice, salt, and castor or olive oil. "Mole de guiijolote'' is roast, turkey Borved iu thick red pepper sauce, with a top dressing of olivo oil, mixed with mince meat, and mustard. This is found in the live and ten-dollar dinners of Mexico. The "puch eros" nro various dishes of meat and vege* tabb s.-v. ith the full amount of pepper, salts and spices. "Enseloda de noche buena" is a salad made and eaten only on Christmas night, and is composed of all kinds of fruit and vegetables in the market; also the meats cooked, dried and bashed up with cake, cheese, spices, oils, candies, sugars, and sprinkled over with a mixture of thr popular drinks; then it is ready lor use. Von know Christmas on!v comes once a year, aud of everything this salad has a share. "Cabrito" is a young kid that is killed be fore it is old enough to eat grass. The bide and feot arc taken oil and it is roasted whole with all it.- internal organs, and is so served and eaten at the table. While traveling iu the State of Nueva Leon, we received the honor <>! being an in? vited guest to a select dinner where a niiin ber of State officials were present. The cabrito whs one of the many dishes on the table, and it fell on us to do the carviug ; bhu.s we are enabled to give our reader- the I bonetit of our first lesson in the comparative [anatomy of a kid after it is cooked. The bigotes are the desserts, and consists of Ifrijoles (beans), coffee, chocolate, tropical fruits, with lime juice,sliced pineapple with sugar, banana and pulque, with Htewed fruits. The popular drinks are pulque, the juice of I In? century plant , in either a sweet or fermented state. It is also mixed with tho juice of the pineapple, the orange, the limo and the wild tuna (cactus fruit). All kinds of drinks, especially tho pulque is handled in goat skin bags and often in leather bot I ties, and in sections of entrails tied at the ends as Bausage. Orchata is the product of ground watermelon seed soaked in water, with sugar and lime juice to suit the taste. After standing a lea' hours it is strained oil' and is ready for uso, and sells at from one i to tbreo cents per glass. Chia is sweetened j water, flavored with nn aromatic seed, and is sold at the same price. Besides these, lemon- and orangeade, tho juice of the piueapple aud tho tuna, with ico cream and soda water are in use every day in the year. (These uro the chief drinks of the people, I and by many are considered wholesome. (There are many strong drinks which the j Mexicans, as a nation, use to excess. The ; water is bad, and in tho hot lands is unfit j for use before being boiled and filtered, i Thus, the stranger soon learns to lake cof- i j fee and chocolate in place of water; yet to j ! be deprived of clear, cool water, and bo j j compelled to eat the hashes of lhe city ho- ! tels and tho country jacals, and abstain; i from fruits because of fevers, is enough at times to make the life of an American al-j ! most miserable. But for him who has the I happy faculty of adapting himself to bis ' surroundings, there will be iu store always j more sunshine than shadow. And Mexico is not an exception to the rule. Ramblkr.
