Foodgasm alert! Today, at a small unassuming restaurant called La Bugambilia, nestled within the cobblestone streets of San Miguel de Allende, I had an unrivaled food experience. It transcended beyond all I know or have known to the extent that I almost feared it. My diet fled out the stone encased, wrought-iron festooned windows ne'r to be seen again (all evening, anyway)
First I had some amazing barbequed manchego cheese with green chile cilantro sauce, snuggled in a homeade corn tortilla. Next, I split an oder of sopa seca; which is a traditional "dry" soup. Basically, it is deeply spiced noodles with slices of avocado and, ahem, creme. Then, something wonderful called Tinga de Cerdo con Chorizo which is basically marinated pork in a red chile sauce with butter potatos and tortillas. I also shared a delightfully marinated poblano chile stuffed with beef, nuts, dried fruits covered in a creamy nut sauce, and finally drizzled with pomegranate seeds. Pictured below, it's a traditional dish from Pueblo called "Chile en Nogada" Also, I might as well admit I had two deliciously powerful (poder!) margaritas with dinner as well. This was the best meal I've had all year.
