Pulque

Pulque

Pulque, fermented agave juice, has the consistency of watered-down phlegm and the taste of sour milk. But is strangely drinkable. Believed to have magical powers for healing and preparing for battle. Your mileage may vary. This photo’s from a family-run pulqueria near Tapalpa, Jalisco, Mexico.

*EDIT* Mumpsimum Forum peeps! First off, Welcome! Secondly, there’s a few more pix of this rustic place over at my Flickr site. Pulque tastes NOTHING like tequila but as its pre-distilled ancestor is an important part in its history and ought to be tried. Pulquerias tend to find inventive ways to serve it to make it more palatable, orange juice, chopped jicama, lime and chile being the most common in my limited experience…

About

Hi I'm Gwyn, theses are my photos. Posting is somewhat irregular, but I hope you enjoy them and maybe want to subscribe... Till recently I was living in Guadalajara, Mexico and the vast majority of the pictures are from my travels around there. However, I've recently moved to Alameda, CA and am still finding my feet and trying to think of a way to preserve the Mexican feel in me new surroundings... If you'd like to know more about the photography here or order a higher resolution picture for printing get in touch via the contact page. Possibly of interest too: My Blog & Web Design
