8. It's not just tacos and tequila
不僅僅有炸玉米餅和龍舌蘭酒
Don't expect to find much cheesy Tex-Mexfare here. The Mexico Cityculinary scene is muy caliente, with fancy restaurants in poshhotels and top chefs saying they come here for inspiration. Pujol, a restaurant in the city's poshPolanco neighborhood, ranksamong the world's top eateries. But it's not all about fine dining. Marketstalls and street stands serve up some of the city's most delicious food. If you're looking for tequila, it's nothard to get it. But if you want to drink like a local, try mezcalor pulque. All three drinks are made from agaveplants. Tequila comes from blue agave. Mezcal can be made from different typesof agave plants and has become a popular drink for hipsters in Mexico'scapital. So has pulque, a 2,000-year-old Aztec drinkmade from fermented but undistilled agave juice.
在這里找不到太多廉價的美式墨西哥食物。墨西哥城的烹調場景非常的漂亮,奢侈的飯店里設有一些豪華餐廳,一些頂級廚師說他們來這里尋找靈感。在墨西哥城高檔的波朗科區有一家Pujol餐廳,是世界頂級餐廳之一。不僅僅只有精致餐飲。街市檔位以及街頭小食檔也有墨西哥最好吃的食物。如果你想尋找龍舌蘭,那并非難事。如果你想像當地人那樣喝酒,那可以喝mezcal 和pulque。這三種酒精都是由龍舌蘭草制成的。龍舌蘭由藍色龍舌蘭草制成。而各種不同種類的龍舌蘭草都可以制成Mezcal,墨西哥城的時髦人士現在大多都喜歡喝這種酒。Pulque也是如此,這是阿芝特克人所創造的酒精,已經擁有2000年歷史,制作原料是發酵當未經蒸餾的龍舌蘭汁液。
