Nope. They were giving them away.
Free pomegranates!
I must have looked pretty excited about that, because instead of giving me two free pomegranates that I thought was reasonable, he chucked FOUR in the bag!
The butchers are now officially my favorite neighbors. ;)
So, for a grand total of 30 pesos, I walked out with 10 hot dogs and 4 very robust pomegranates.
What a great day!

Bet you'll have those eaten before the end of the week!! Enjoy! Mom
We must be connected (like food soul sisters!) . I saw grenadas at the mrcado a couple of weeks ago, but knew itnwas too early for them to be ripe enough. I even slyly asked another vendor, pointing with my head "is it really time for grenadas, already?" And she confirmed my suspitions. "Gve it a couple more weeks, they are still too yellow for my liking." And then she winked.
Glad to know at least this ONE thing I am "in the know" about.
But your free ones look gorgeously red.
Bring on the chiles en nogada!!! Mmmm
Hello,
Found your blog through a help forum. Thanks for taking the time out to share your life. I sincerely appreciate it and am looking forward to soaking up all the info from your experiences. I am moving to Mexico from the US & am trying to learn as much as I can.
Sincerely,
Alisha
Mami--we ARE food soul sisters, I just know it! And one of these days we will meet and eat lots of good food in person. Yes, indeed!
Hey Alisha--I´m glad you found us, and I hope that the links to other blogs help, too. Where in Mexico are you moving to? If I haven´t been there myself, I can probably find you someone who has, or is currently living there.
