Food in Mexico
Most
people in Mexico eat the following three meals each day:
- Breakfast: This meal
is normally served between 7:00 A.M. and 8:30 A.M. For many families,
breakfast is quick and casual. Coffee, cereal, quesadillas, tamales, are
often found on Mexican breakfast tables.
- Lunch: Most Mexicans
have lunch between 2 and 4 p.m. Lunch is traditionally the big meal
of the day. On school days, you will take a "bagged lunch"
to school with you. Many students like to prepare their own
lunches. If you wish to do this, suggest it to your host parents.
They will probably appreciate your help.
- Supper: This is
usually a light, late meal in Mexico. Sushi is also becoming a very
popular food with the Mexicans living in Guadalajara.
You should tell your host if you are hungry. If you do not accept
something to eat or drink the first time it is offered, your host will
probably assume you do not want anything. Mexican food can be
quite spicy, or sometimes it is mild, with optional hot sauces
available. If you prefer mild food, please specify it on the
application form. Your hosts want you to enjoy your meals, but they
will not know your preferences unless you tell them. If you feel
uncomfortable discussing this with your hosts, mention it to a member of
the Vancouver Language Centre staff. We will find a tactful way to bring
it to the attention of your host family. Also, be sure to indicate
foods you dislike or are allergic to when you complete your APPLICATION
FOR ADMISSION.
