At at the Noche Mexicana one of the main dishes was menudo, tripe stew. No, gracias. They also had chiles relleno. They are much different here in Veracruz than in U.S. Mexican restaurants. These are large jalapeño peppers stuffed (relleno)with cooked hamburger, very lightly battered and fried in oil. They are very picante or picoso/spicy. A young Mexican man just started giggling when I put one on my plate. I knew what he was thinking. "This güerro (white guy) is going to burn his mouth off!" So, I ate it right in front of him and took another. That showed him! Then, I turned my back, walked across the room, and drank a full bottle of water. WHEW! That was really hot!
