paletas y helados
A cacahuate paleta de crema (peanut creamsicle) was one of my favorite things I ate in Veracruz. Rich, creamy, nutty and flaky, yet still light.
Los dos Polos, a five-minute walk from the Coatepec market, has a wonderfully overwhelming selection of flavors. This photo made me realize that I missed out on camote con piña (sweet potato with pineapple), malvavisco (marshmallow), and platano. Ah well, next time . . .
Cafe, higo con mezcal, y mango.
Jean, Julie and I tried three flavors. We thought the coffee went nicely with the fig with mezcal, while the mango was better solo.

Peanut creamsicle… wowzah. Sounds quirky but fanTAStic.
chocolate is the same in so many languages = the universal flavor.
Oooh Los Dos Polos has the best ice cream!! Took my mom there last fall when she came for a visit. Great flavors!! Now I’m craving it…..
