CDMX Food Porn

For those of you that know me well, and those of you that barely know me, and those of you that don’t know me but have ever read any of my blogs, or those of you that don’t even know where that sound was coming from but happened to be within three kilometres of me while I was at a Mexican restaurant… you know that I love Mexican food.  I’ve eaten Mexican food in 27 different countries on all six inhabited continents.  Yes, I had Mexican food in Mexico a LONG time ago, but I was young and scared of the third world so I think I played it very safe.  But now – as an adult that knows how to avoid food poisoning (usually) – I was excited to touchdown in Mexico City (CDMX) and start eating my way through the largest city in the Americas.

And that’s just what I did.

I ate.  I blushed.  I took another bite.  I felt warm.  I licked the spoon.  Fuck this is hot.  Just one more nibble as I scrape the plate.  I can’t handle any more!  Tres leches is coming?  Oh!!!!!!

A few highlights of things I put in my mouth in Mexico City:

Enchiladas:
Picture it:  a warm plate.  Two long, hot enchiladas.  Covered in sultry sauce.  Mouth-watering.  Maybe I should unbutton my top button to send the signal that I’m going to make my move.  Then I fork those enchiladas.  Ooooooooo.  Delicious.

My favourite enchiladas of the trip were at a restaurant called Cabrera 7.  They were chicken mole enchiladas with almonds.  They were so hot.  11 out of 10.  I get all hot and bothered just thinking about them.  I also had enchiladas verdes and vegetarian mole enchiladas.  I need to go take a cold shower.

Tacos:
A long, tall, fully erect cactus stands all hot in the desert.  Shortly thereafter, it’s on my plate in the form of a chicken and cactus taco covered in creamy, creamy cheese.  This is the plot of the food porn film that I’m making.  I’ve been inspired.

I cheated on the cactus and also had a fourgy with tacos of zucchini with corn, poblano pepper with cream, and chicken a la talla.  And because I’m a high class ho, I ever-so-sensually put a duck mole taco into my mouth.  Duck.  Mole.  Duck.  Mole.  It’s so fancy.  It’s like having sex on the balcony of the penthouse suite of a six-star hotel.  Quick – give me some ice!

Other:
Tamales.  Oh tamales!  My favourite was the tamal oaxaqueno – a chicken mole tamal that’s a specialty of Oaxaca.  And Americans:  did you know that it’s not a tamale.  It’s a tamal.   Tamales is plural and Americans just chopped off the “S” as if it was English.  I learned something new.  Smart is sexy.

What’s hotter than Anderson Cooper laying naked on top of a bear-skin rug and a big pile of money?  A hot, steamy bowl of tortilla soup.  He may be a silver fox, but he’s got nothing on what’s in the bowl.

And what has my trip been missing?  I’ve been so focused on the Mexicans that I forgot about other cultures.  Some hot interracial action is in order.  Sushiroll is a chain of Mexican-inspired sushi restaurants.  After some sake sangria, my sushi rolls arrived.  One set of rolls with manchego cheese.  The other with spicy chipotle sauce.  It was too hot to handle.  It was Mexican-Phill-Japanese action and it was definitely rated X.

Drinks:
Every hot, throbbing meal needs a glass of liquid sex to cool it down a bit.  And I made sure drinks were on order.  Tequila drinks.  Mezcal drinks (it’s like tequila).  Pulque.  And Micheladas – beer with lemon and salt on the rim.  Rim.  It’s like a margarita.  But with beer.  And it gets me excited!

Desserts:
If you haven’t climaxed yet, then this is sure to take you home.  So just remember:  this is not safe for work.

Arroz con leche.  It’s Mexican rice pudding.  It belongs in my mouth.  Always.  Then there’s tres leches – aka “three milks”.  It’s a sponge cake with three different types of cream in it.  But they should change the name to “cuatro leches” – aka “four milks” – because when I eat it there’s a fourth cream produced.  Oh baby!  And then there’s churros.  Long, strong churros.  Filled with chocolate, oozing out of the tip.  You have to suck a little before eating it to avoid it dripping everywhere and making a mess.  I hate when the ooze gets all over me.  I want it all in my mouth.

And I have to give massive kudos to Mexico because they knew I was coming and they prepared macarons just for me.  I filled my tight little box with six flavours:  Palomitas Caramelizadas y Cardamomo, Naranja y Mezcal con Sal de Gusano, Horchata y Vainilla, Chocolate Mexicano, Pan de Elote, and Gloria.  Translated from Spanish to English:  caramelized popcorn and cardamom, orange and mezcal with worm salt, horchata and vanilla, Mexican chocolate, corn bread, and caramel.  Translated from English to Phill:  foreplay, moaning, heavy petting, sex, climax, and afterglow.

Was that as good for you as it was for me?  No?  Well maybe you should go to Mexico City…


I don’t have any selfies of me with food in Mexico City, mainly because my hands were… covered in taco sauce.

Yeah.  Taco sauce.  That’s right.
