Back to my Mexico trip coverage! Pulqueria
Pulque is a milk-colored, somewhat viscous liquid that produces a light foam. It is made by fermenting the sap of certain types of maguey (agave) plants. In contrast, mescal is made from the cooked heart of certain agave plants, and tequila, a variety of mescal, is made all or mostly from the blue agave. There are about six varieties of maguey that are best used for the production of pulque.[1][2] The name “pulque” is derived from Nahuatl. The original name of the drink was “iztac octli” (white wine), the term pulque was probably mistakenly derived by the Spanish from the “octli poliuhqui” which meant “spoiled wine”.[5] (According to Wikipedia)
Amazing Pulqueria we visted in the suburbia of Mexico City, thanks to Jorge again. There was sawdust on the floor, because pulque is kind of smooth and slimy and when it “falls” on floor and you may step in.., you can easily brake your legs. Not so long time ago ladies were not allowed to visit pulquerias. We had 3 glasses, one original, one with pineapple and an other one with pepper and tomato flavor. Pineapple was my favorite. Well, it was a great experience, although I was told that there is hardly any alcohol in pulque, I felt really jolly later on!
I hope you all had fabulous Midsummer Night!
