Today we did our 3rd and hands down best food tour while in Oaxaca with Betsaida Lopez
We met up had a great Oaxaca-Monte coffee along with a chile relleno that blew our socks off ( on our long list of recipes to try to replicate )
Betsaida filled us in on so much history that we had no idea of - did you know there are The 16 indigenous Oaxaca Languages? There are 10 growing climates in all of Mexico and 9 of em are in the state of Oaxaca ?
Me neither !
We got to try some fruits and a veg that are native what an awesome treat ! We even got to taste melapona honey ( it’s from a stingleee bee that pollinates vanilla orchids ) needless to say Jimmy lost his s*** ( I did as well to be honest ) and we may or may not have bought our combined weights to bring home ( an exaggeration but not by much )
This is the tour to do ! We would definitely tour again with Betsaida when we return to Oaxaca ! A+
