I'm curious, because I've just made this dessert with my brother:

A question to all of you folks in far away countries: Do you have María cookies? I'm guessing this isn't only a Mexican thing (I'm fairly sure they must exist in other parts of Latin America and Spain), but they're just such a there, that it's hard to imagine someone not knowing them, not when everyone here has spent their childhood eating them in anyway possible.

Anyway, just asking because my brother decided to make lime and galletas María pie this morning and mmm, it is so very tasty.

Continuing in the food theme (CAN YOU TELL I'M SO SO SO HUUUUNGRY? We're supposed to be waiting for my mom to come home to go eat tacos and SHE'S NOT HOME YET AARGH.) I watched this show on tv called I think 'Bizarre Foods' and they were discussing Haggis (I just stared in horrid fascination at the way its made. Oh man, I'd never eat that, really, NEVER) and in the end they mentioned Tongue tacos as one of those bizarre foods they were going to see in the next show or something and it made me LOL so hard. I find it fascinating the way our culture tells us something's alright or not; just look at the bit on top, us Mexicans find tongue tacos completely normal and delicious but I'd never try Haggis - and I'm sure a Scottish dude with a healthy taste for Haggis would find tongue tacos repulsive. *shrug* Ah, planet earth, you're so varied and wonderful. ♥

In other news, it seems that Potterdamerung's been boring for the mere fact that all the wank happened early with the realease of the leak. Ah, it's just HI-LARIOUS XDDD

There are imported ones in the market, and Marie cookies, which are close but less crisp and more buttery. However, give me Marias and a bog cold glass of 2% and I'm HAPPY.

MMMM, MARÍAS. Con Lecherita, en especial... ¿Cómo se llama la Lecherita en Inglés, a todo esto?

No tienen las mismas marcas, asi que no hay un diseño tan bueno como el de la Lecherita. Eagle es la mas popular, pero como hay tantas marcas no hay ese "shorthand" de marca para decir leche dulce condensada.

I had them in Bolivia and they were the best. I was at this store that sells stuff that is imported and they were soooo good. I found another brand that wasn't so good at my local grocery store, but yes we have them in the states :D

that pie sounds delicious, I wish I had a slice.

One time, someone offered my best friend Haggis and she nearly died.

Oh, nice to hear that, I'd be sad for you guys over there if you didn't have them XD

Boy, I'm sure I'd turn green if someone offered me a bit. o_O

dios -_- galletitas marías remojadas. oh sí.

*baja a la cocina por unas*

Nunca había pensado que no todos pueden gozar de la galleta maría.

Ya sé, ha de ser un mundo cruel y frío el que no tenga Marías a la mano. o_O

Como soy una cerda, les eché la lechera chiquita *.* diabetes! allá voy xD.

We have them...or at least something looking exceedingly similar in Aus. Except they're called Marie biscuits, and mum always used them to make cheesecake and slice bases.

Dunno if they taste different though. Hmmm. Probably.

Mmm, who knows. We use them a lot for pie bases too, so they have to be pretty similar in any case.

Oh, creo que las galletas María son las únicas galletas que me gustaban de pequeña. Hace años que no como galletas de ningún tipo, sin embargo.

¿Te puedes creer que nunca he comido tacos? Claro que, considerando que no probé la pizza hasta los diez años y que cuando voy al Burger King tengo una tendencia enorme a evitar las hamburguesas, mis reservas culinarias tienen sentido.

HEY. Yo tenía un libro de recetas de Barbie en el que te explicaban en uno de los apartados cómo hacer tacos y quesadillas y no sé qué más -- era un libro de cocina para fiestas, iba separado en tipos de fiesta: fiesta de pijamas, velada romántica, fiesta en la playa, etc. Aaah, ¿dónde estará ese libro? La verdad es que me apetece mucho aprender a hacer cosas de este tipo --repostería, comida no-guisada-per-se-- en condiciones.

OH DIOS PRUEBALOS AHORA. Lo malo es que dudo que haya tacos reales por allá, la verdad, supongo que todo lo que ha de llegar es la triste imitación de los gringos que nada más de verguenza que la llamen comida mexicana. Tsk, tsk. Pero bueno, yo estoy casi igual, casi no se nada de comida española, y lo que conozco no me gusta mucho (pero eso es en mayoría porque a lo que me ha arrastrado mi papá, el incurable gourmet, es a comida mediterranea, y yo no como pescado, así que termino sin poder comer nada. ;___;)

Aww, esos recetarios que uno tenía de chiquita siempre son los más bonitos y con recetas más ricas, ¿no? Yo me acuerdo de uno que tenía con ilustraciones todas bellas de dulces tipicos de cada estado de México, y me encantaba, aunque me acuerdo que me decepcionó ver que la receta de mi estado eran jericallas, que en ese tiempo no me gustaban XD

Hmm, I don't know... we might have simliar ones under a different name, but I really couldn't say. What're they made of? :)

No idea. o_O Lots of butter, I'd say, although they're actually quite light and crunchy. *scratches head*

Hmmm... yeah, I'm pretty sure I've seen those before. They come wrapped in this paper-y thing, and aren't in a box, right?
