In Xalapa
you can enjoy delicious Veracruz cuisine, such as
tamales, picadas y molotes
(plantains that are battered and fried), and a peculiar recipe called chileatole de pollo (a hot soup
with a base of chile, leaves from the wormseed plant
and corn kernels). You also can enjoy tasty dishes such as red pipian and green mole with pork or chicken. Another local
favorite is jalapeño chile peppers stuffed with
ground beef or seafood. As for dessert, you?ll have a wide array of options,
including milk candy made in the shape of fruit, squash prepared with brown
sugar and fruit covered with brown sugar. To accompany your dessert, nothing
beats a cup of homegrown coffee.
