What is a "normal" breakfast for you? Cereal? Toast and juice? Eggs and bacon? Pancakes? If I were to fix any of those things for people in Mexico for breakfast, they would be satisfied just as well as you. I've heard lots of gringos comment that refried beans are weird to have for breakfast, but my DAD even eats them for breakfast here, so they can't be too terribly weird.
So, this past monday (a national holiday - Constitution Day), I was invited by several friends to go to the town of Coroneo Guanajuato, about 45 minutes from QRO. They told me that there's yummy barbeque there. So I'm thinking barbequed ham, pork, or even steak. Meat with eggs is a common breakfast here. Imagine my surprise when they told me that we would, in fact, be eating "sheep tacos." I seriously thought they were kidding, or that maybe we'd be eating them for lunch (this particular group of people is well-known for their jokes). Nope, we arrived, and each received a free sheep taco... at 9:00 in the morning. I had two more, covered in onion, cilantro and hot salsa. I can't say that sheep is my favorite meat, but it was alright. However, I think I'll be content to stick with BBQ pork, beef, or chicken if I eat BBQ outside of Coroneo...
