Here are the top ten articles for the Mexico Site! These rankings are live and get reset at the beginning of each month, so check back often to see what your fellow visitors are most interested in! 1. Untraditional Mexican Fried Rice Recipe "Traditional" Mexican rice is a staple in our household. However, by incorprating additional ingredients into it and by frying it a second time, I have created a nutritious, flavorful, colorful, simple yet multi-textured dish that I call "Untraditional Mexican Fried Rice." 2. Two Cultural Dictums That Oppress Mexican Women In Mexico, there are two culturally traditional dictums that serve to limit the potential and opportunities of its residents, especially women. One is QUE DIRAN!/WHAT WOULD PEOPLE SAY! and the other is NO HAGAS COSAS BUENAS QUE PARESCAN MALAS/DO NOT DO GOOD THINGS THAT LOOK BAD. 3. Antojitos of Michoacan The Pacific Central Mexican state of Michoacan has a distinguished, primarily indigenous, culinary history. Although its most famous traditional dish may be pozole, for me its best gustatory creations are its masa-based antojitos/snacks like corundas, stuffed gorditas, uchepos, and tacos al vapor. 4. Mexican Lentils with Rice and Vegetables Recipe Here is a recipe for a healthy, nutritious and delicious vegetarian lentil preparation that has traditional yet, also, original Mexican flare with the addition of rice, serrano chile, tomatoes and cilantro. No matter how often you eat it, it's a dish that is really hard to get "sick of." 5. Sustainability in the Riviera Maya Interview #3 The Riviera Maya has been described as a tropical paradise. However, unplanned development and large scale tourism is threatening its fragile ecosystems. This is the 3rd of three interview articles with Michael P. Halle exploring "sustainability: the future of tourism in the Riviera Maya." 6. Pet Bird Care in Mexico Pet birds are the most popular and most common type of mascota/pet in Mexico. However, as exemplified by the kind of care provided for by the bird "owners," they could rarely, if ever, be called "bird lovers." 7. Mexican Stereotypes In the Mexico site forum one of the topics is "Mexico Stereotypes-True and False" in which readers are asked to respond with their stereotypical impressions of the country and its people. I compiled those responses and here are the results. What stereotypes of Mexico do you have?
8. MercadoLibre Latin America's Ebay Traditionally, Mexico has been "market oriented," be it tianguis/market days, indoor municipal markets, or open-air markets, like Zamora's. So, should it come as a surprise that the e-commerce online marketplace is becoming quite popular in Mexico and much of the rest of Latin America? 9. Cenotes Symbol of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula While on a primarily birding trip in the Yucatan Peninsula's Riviera Maya, I "discovered" a world comprised of 100's of non-sentient natural wonders, cenotes. Come learn more about these natural wells with turquoise and green crystalline water, many of which have underground, explorable caves. 10. What is Mexico's National Bird? What is the national bird of Mexico? Of the 1070 known species of birds that call Mexico home, which bird is that nation's symbol? Is it the golden eagle, one of the largest raptors found in North America? Or is it the regal-looking crested caracara?
Or could it be that they both should be?
