Food

Not the thickest spaghetti sauce....

Food is fuel. Shouldn’t be too complicated. At major Games, one often finds a huge dining hall allowing thousands of athletes to be fed incessantly for a few weeks. Variety is key.

Not here. The first day was fine. Comprising of one “hot section” of spaghetti and 2 sauces, some steamed veggies, a stew of some kind, rice, refried beans (we are in Mexico after all) a few over done beef “steaks” (I am polite here), some variation of fish and chicken, and ….hot dogs. The “cold section” has lettuce, cucumbers every 3-4 days, corn, beets, cheese and the fruits: pineapple, papaya and watermelon.

Everyday. 2 and a half weeks. Same stuff every 2-3 meals as they rotate the stew “type”. They also have yogurts and cold cereal so this is frequently part of the meal.

That is why we are often eating in the International Zone.

Forgot to mention the ever present cold hot dog pieces ....the salsa is great though

The biggest hit: popsicles. They have great lime popsicles that taste exactly like a margarita. Refreshing…..
