The Mija Chronicles

Mexican food and culture, on both sides of the border

My first trip to the Mexican supermarket

January 22, 2009 by Lesley Tellez

Mayonesa de limon

Lime-flavored mayonnaise!

Jicama

Pre-cut jicama! Perfect for salads. Or snacking. Or whatever.

They also had huge, tube-shaped purple radishes; bags of pre-cut, shredded beets; dried papaya cubes dusted in chili powder (and dried apricots prepared the same way). I wanted to get all that but didn’t. Our fridge is only so big.

Surprisingly, a lot of the products were in English. The cereal aisle was pure General Mills.
