Getting set to give our friends an "Indian" dinner. Made most things at our temp apt. Will start with a bhel/chaat type appetizer while rest of food is reaheted and prepped.
Oh hey what's this? It's going to be 15 not 10 of us? No problem (there should be enough for 20)

Some pics from Mercado or rather Corredor la Viga 🧵 1/3
Lots of vendors and stalls selling fish (and mostly raw eats), restaurants with cooked food are on the other side of the road
Mercado/Market Day 🧵 contd
Next stop after dropping off the haul from Mercado de Jamaica (see 👆🏽) - we headed to Mercado la Viga
A #fish & seafood #market (I ♥️ fish markets)
This is not *the* wholesale fish market in #CDMX but still one where there is both a good selection of fish (if we want to get any) and vendors and restaurants with prepared fish/seafood.
Last pics from the Mercado de Jamaica - vendors at the entrance/exit (one of them) near the car parking. Piloncillo and other goodies and a vendor outside with what looked like dried and season fish and chapulines (crickets). Did get a small bit of the chapulines - as these would be good/fresh - and indeed they were. Crunchy with a gentle sour tang from the seasoning (got them without additional lime juice or other sauces/dressing - that would have made them soggy).
Oh in case in your #Bloomscrolling you hadn't come across artichoke flowers before - you can cross that off now.
And had to look this other one up - seems these are honeycomb ginger - Zingiber spectabile
Lagniappe 4/3
flower market action
I was reminded of the shots/pics from Pike Place market is Seattle where they throw fish (for the show).
So you like #BloomScrolling do you? Or is it BloomStrolling ? Ah either ways I have you covered! So many blooming flowers here!!!
