MAGUEY This plant, of the Agave gender, lives in a semi-desert environment with few rains. It reaches its maturity between 8 and 12 years, and flourishes only once, dying soon after. Within its wide prickly protected leaves, called pencas, lie the nutritious substances that allow it to survive in such a hostile environment, as well as sheltering a series of insects, like magueye-ro worm and mead ant, both eaten by men.

ESCAMOLES The eggs of the Liometropum apiculatum ant are edi-ble and highly appreciated in Mexico. Escamoles are an original pre-Hispanic meal, with a highly nutritious value and a fine flavor, slightly sweet, so it is recom-mended to accompany them with something equa-lly soft to highlight their flavor. Their delicacy causes one to eat them without noticing that the stomach will be full in short time. They are prepared fried with butter and epazote, with egg, in salsa, in mixiote, with barbacoa, in gorditas and in tortillas, among many other styles.


CHINICUILES It is a plague that attacks the maguey from the re-gion, the Agave salmiana. They are red caterpilars of about three centimeters long, the larvae of the in-sects called chinicuiles. During rainy season, they bite the stalks and drill through the leaves of the maguey to reach their juicy interior. The plague is fought back by harvesting the caterpillars to eat them by the end of August.

TROUTRainbow trout is a fish that belongs to the family of Salmonides, of bluish browned green color, dark on the back, lighter on the abdomen, with black spots distributed along the body and the fins, and an iri-descent stripe along the body that reflects light, therefore its name. In the wild, it can reach up to 10 kilograms and sizes above 70 centimeters long. This trout is highly appreciated for its flavor, a common product in the aquaculture and recreational fishing of the fresh waters of Mexico.

ESCAMOLES CHINICUILES

TYPICAL DISHES AND BEVERAGES

PASTESTheir origin can be traced back to the first quarter of the 19th century, when a group of Englishmen desig-nated to bring money for the mining industry arrived to the zone. The Cornish pastry was the inspiration for this recipe.

MIXIOTESThe pieces of meat, for example mutton, chico, chic-ken or rabbit, which will be used, are marinated in a mix of guajillo and pasilla chili peppers, pulque, and spices. Then, they are all placed on a square of mixiote leaf and tied with a thread to cook them with steam.

ALBAÑIL STYLE EGGSThis dish is prepared with chinicuil (red colored ca-terpillar) fried with onions and chili peppers, to then mix them with eggs. It is served accompanied with tortillas, and if wished, with crushed salsa.

XIMBOThis dish is prepared with meat rolled in maguey leaves and baked in an underground oven, where it is cooked in its own juices or with steam. The word mainly refers to the traditional method of preparation of meats, which can be pork, fish, or less frequently, rabbit or chicken.

SALSA BORRACHAThis salsa is made with pasilla chili pepper, oil and vi-negar, seasoned with a touch of pulque, which adds texture, flavor, and is characteristic name.

BARBACOA This is mutton or goat meat wrapped in maguey leaves, cooked in a ground oven. First, the meat is ai-red and cut, salted and wrapped in the leaves of the cactaceae. It can be prepared as a single big wrap-ping or as several smaller ones, which are all placed together in the pot where they will be cooked. Water is poured between the wrapping and the pot so the meat gets moist during the cooking process. In many places, it is common to add chickpeas, carrots, pul-que and green chili peppers in the water to obtain barbacoa consomé (broth).

MOLE XIQUEÑO To prepare this dish, several ingredients are fried and mashed one by one, using a manual mill. It includes mulato, pasilla and guajillo chili peppers, raisins, boi-led almonds, corn totopos, peanuts, roasted hazel-nuts, pumpkin seeds, chocolate, cinnamon, plantain, sesame seeds, prunes, and aniseed. To add the final touches of flavor, chicken broth is added along with salt, sugar, and cumin at will.

ACTIVITIES OF THE ROUTE


We find ourselves in the center of the Country, right in the State of Hidalgo, characteristic for its mosaic of delicacies full of history.

To start, we should visit the Ex-Convent of San Miguel Arcángel, an Augustinian fortress-like building dated back to 1550, located in Ixmiquilpan. In this site, you will have the experience of tasting barbacoa straight from the ground oven and eating a taco with salsa borracha made with pulque. In the Municipality of Actopan, you will visit the appealing Tolantongo Grottos, where you will also have the chance to take a bath in their thermal waters.

A trip to the past awaits you in the tour around the pulque producing haciendas like San Antonio Tocha, one of the few that continue creating this beverage. It has a magnificent ancient tinacal (the deposit whe-re pulque is stored), and carefully preserved lands. Here, you can taste this delicious beverage, but if you prefer beer, you can choose to take the tour of the Hacienda Zempoala Brewery, with a tasting of this bitter beer, along with a guided walkthrough in the plant. Arriving downtown, you will find the delicious Kiko’s Pastes.

On the way to San Miguel Regla, passing through Pachuca we must visit the Rehilete Cultural center, an interactive museum with permanent modules focu-

sed on children. We cannot leave aside the El Chico National Park, located in El Mineral, which offers ac-commodation services like bathrooms with showers, kitchen, wide parking lot, and firewood sale. The con-tents of the Maguey and Pulque Museum is a true cultural delight, which will amaze you with over 800 products derived from maguey and the objects rela-ted to this plant. The Fish Production Center in San Miguel Regla offers sport fishing of rainbow trout. If you are feeling adventurous, you can also eat the past in every bite while tasting the pre-Hispanic gas-tronomy, as in the region of El Mezquital you will find a great variety of ancient typical dishes.

Enjoy the touristic and gastronomic charms of the Route by also visiting the Pueblos Mágicos of Mineral el Monte and Huasca de Ocampo.

PEANUTThis product has passed from home kitchens to in-dustrial food plants, becoming more frequently inclu-ded in the development of new products of industrial and common use, preserving the millennial friends-hip between man and peanut. Its oily fruits are used in several preparations, taking a significant position in the gastronomy and the traditions of Mexico.

BANANABanana is considered one of the most important crops. Its production occupies the first place in the conjunct of tropical fruits, and it is fundamental in the feeding of the Mexican people due to its low price, availability throughout the entire year, the multiple culinary combinations it takes, the sensation of sa-tisfaction it produces, and its high nutritional value, high in potassium, iron, and vitamin K. In cuisine, due to its delicious flavor, it accompanies several main courses and desserts.

ONIONIt is the underground part in the shape of a yellow, red, purple bulb of a small plant, with green round leaves that are hollow on the inside. White onion is harvested by the last days of spring, and the colored varieties are gathered by the end of summer. The pro-duction in Tamaulipas distributes supplies the entire Country.


TILAPIATilapia, also known as mojarra, is part of a group of fish of African origin belonging to the Oreochromis gender, which mainly inhabits in tropical regions, where the appropriate conditions for its reproduction and growth are set.


EMPIPIANADAS Partially fried tortillas, wrapped and stuffed with cheese and chicken, soaked in red or green pipián, and accompanied with cecina and beans. They are a regional typical dish from Tampico.

BOCOLES They are corn gorditas fried in lard and then opened to stuff them with meat, cheese, chicharrón, or other stews. They are commonly eaten for lunch or dinner.

STUFFED FRESHWATER CRABSFreshwater crabs are crustaceans that live in shallow waters and sometimes burry themselves in the mari-ne ground. They use their pincers or quelipods to eat and break snails and other small invertebrates apart, putting the pieces in their mouth with the other legs. They are used in several preparations with different types of ingredients. Their flavor is soft so it matches nicely with practically any other food it is mixed with. The classic local recipe consists in stuffing the shell of the freshwater crab with its own meat, cleaned and seasoned, and then cooked in the oven.

SHRIMP HUATEPEThis stew is made with different spices and ingre-dients. It is thickened with corn masa, which gives it body, and the flavor is brought by seafood whit which it is accompanied, providing a unique aroma.

CHICHIMBRÉThis wheat flour bread is made with piloncillo. Its name is a deformation of the ginger bread, brought by the English when they arrived to exploit the oil in-dustry in Mexico. Nowadays, it is no longer prepared with ginger. The loaves are rectangular or with the shape of a piglet, of dark dough not too fluffy.

TORTAS OF THE WALLThis style of torta was originated in Tampico. It is said that its creator was Mr. José María Bracamontes, who used to sell sardine tortas with pico de gallo salsa in downtown, mainly for the workers on the docks and sawyers. Further on, his sons Francisco and René kept on selling the tortas next to the wall that used to de-marcate the patios of the railway station, the docks, and the Customs Office in the dock, the reason why they got their current name.

PONTEDUROIt is a very traditional and simple sweet, yet very de-licious. Popcorn is cooked, and apart from it, syrup is prepared with piloncillo with the perfect thickness so it neither cracks nor hardens. This syrup is poured on the popcorn, which is shaped in balls the size of a fist, squeezing the popcorn so it sticks together.



STUFFED FRESHWATER CRABS

TAMAULIPAS

HUAPILLA (BEVERAGE)This is a plant similar to maguey although slightly smaller. Water is extracted from its fruit, which is cream colored and has the shape of a ball, and it is mi-xed with pineapple crust, pepper, and clove, among other ingredients.

MONDONGOThis dish is prepared with guts like beef or calf sto-mach, garlic, onions, cooked ham, chorizo, chickpeas, lard, grilled tomatoes, ancho chili peppers, vinegar and cumin, all combined to obtain a brothy stew that can be served as a main course.

TAMPIQUEÑA STYLE MEATThis dish has a very symbolic meaning. The meat cut resembles the Panuco River crossing Tamaulipas, ac-companied with a garnish of fried black beans that represent the oil industry of the state, and the flora and fauna are represented by a garnish of guacamole and chilaquiles. The grilled white cheese is a symbol for the purity of the people from Tamaulipas, while the spicy hot touch honors traditional Mexican food.

JALAPEÑO CHILI PEPPERSNative from Xalapa, this specie is characterized for preserving intact its spicy properties regardless of the heat or the freezing of the food it accompanies. It can be used in abundance as it manages to keep a perfect balance between its flavor and the rest of the ingre-dients.

RICERice is a gramineae of large size that grows easier in tropical weathers. Formerly harvested in dry weather, rice mutated into a semi-acuatic plant. However, it can grow in different environments, it does it quicker and with greater foliage in a warm and humid weather. The stalks end in a flower, a bunch of 20 to 30 centi-meters long, composed of 50 to 300 flowers or spikes where the grains are grown. Rice is a good source for magnesium, it contains niacin, vitamin B6, thiamine, phosphorus, zinc, and copper, as well as traces of pan-tothenic acid and potassium, but this kind of cereal contains poor amounts of protein.

VANILLAVanilla, an important product in national history, is the second most expensive condiment of the world, which has spread its aroma from the millennial lands of Totonacapan in the State of Veracruz. The knowled-ge around vanilla is a heritage from the Totonac peo-ple, who more than a thousand years ago inhabited the region of Papantla and its surroundings.

SUGARCANEIt is a tropical gramineae, a large grass related to sorghum and corn. Its hard stalk reaches between 2 and 5 meters tall. In it, thanks to photosynthesis, a jui-ce rich in sucrose is accumulated, which when extrac-ted and crystalized in a refinery, becomes sugar.

COFFEECoffee from Veracruz is a guarantee for the consu-mer, due to the fact that it has been labeled with Designation of Origin, a world recognized distinction that allows the aromatic beverage to satisfy the most demanding palates.

GAYA



On the way to Veracruz, before reaching the coastli-ne highway with its extraordinary view to the Gulf of Mexico, you will find endless activities to experience, like the guided visit to the Gaya factory where vani-lla is processed. There, you will be able to know the great variety of products obtained from this resource, as well as admiring the orchid that produces the aro-matic pod. Once on the way to Gutiérrez Zamora, we should mention that the ancient Hospicio Zamora, a neoclassic building whose first stone was laid in 1852, became the Museum of the City in 1970 and, with the support of the Culture Institute of Veracruz, gathers the history and evolution of the State. We will spend a day in the beaches of Tecolutla, which are not po-lluted at all and receive the visit of the sea turtles that lay their eggs on it.

Without leaving the search for delicious aromas, you can visit Coatepec, a Pueblo Mágico with extraordi-nary coffee fields where the grain is cultivated and processed. The tour will take you all the way to the trees where this fruit is obtained. While walking the fresh crops, you can admire the slow process of ri-pening. Besides, you will have the satisfaction of participating in the production of cheeses, and as if it weren’t enough, you may participate in a wine tas-ting to try the dairy products just obtained.

In Veracruz, La Parroquia café is a must for every visi-tor, so you cannot leave the Gulf without drinking a “lechero” in it. Downtown, you will taste the ice cream of Güero Güero, who for over 30 years has handcraf-ted this delicious recipe. In Boca del Río, we should visit the canyon vessel of impressive size, with over 80 meters long and 12 wide, and you’ll be able to walk around the deck all the way to the firearms room, gui-ded by retired Mexican Navy officers. Not so far away from there, we will find the Baluarte de Santiago, a military defensive building from 1635, which hosts a museum with several documents and objects from the Viceregal Era, as well as pre-Hispanic jewelry. You should enjoy the Aquarium of Veracruz, one of the most attractive in Latin America, where you will find a great diversity of fish and amphibians. San Juan de Ulúa, a fortress, dock, prison, and municipal palace in different times, is another site to be seen. Other sym-bolic cultural attraction is the archeological zone of El Tajín. On the other hand, Veracruz invites you to par-ticipate in adventurous activities, characteristic from Veracruz.
