What happened to Mexican bacon?

[Veggo]

It used to be bacon. Good, smoky, thick cut bacon. Now, it's a pathetic processed cold cut, wherever I go in Mexico. Que pasa? Where's the tocino?

[Beach Chick]

Way way back when Pancho Villa was still roaming Mexico and I was eating meat, the tocino was damn good....thick and delicious.
When we go down to the tip of Baja, its not the same..is Baja Sur different than DF?
Did you eat tocino in Cuba...I was thinking of my 916 buddy on our bday and thank you for the wishes Poppi!

Igualmente, BC. Unrelated to CH, I no longer speak about Cuba.

I had to show them how to make migas.

If you're talking about migas in Mexico--it's not really a Mexican dish, so we rarely see it here. There are migas in Spain, migas in Portugal, and there are Tex-Mex migas, but no natural-born migas in Mexico.

If you're talking Cuba, then I don't know.

Migas are suddenly popular among the paladares in Miramar, funny how new things happen. The shortage of queso is frustrating.

In Monterrey, México, a very traditional dish is migas con huevo, meaning very small squares of corn tortilla, lightly fried and then scrambled with eggs, seasoned with a little salsa and a whisper of cumin.

Veggo, my *tianguis* butcher cuts bacon for me, just the way I want it--a good bit thicker than the packaged stuff. I can't remember the last time I bought packaged bacon. It's almost always worthless.

It seems the only decent breakfast meat at a Mexican restaurant is a torta de lechon.
