To bring back to UK? It’s so hot here we have to go to a mall to cool down, I love a supermarket on holiday. Any spices that we can’t get at home easily?

Big dried chillies is what I would get.

NutellaEllaElla · 17/07/2022 18:18

Tajin - a limey salty seasoning that I love, great on chips

EachandEveryone · 17/07/2022 18:24

Oh thanks. Tbh the good hasn’t been as good as I remember it in California I think it’s because we are on an all inclusive we need to go out

Tapatio hot sauce is fab.

Oh keep them coming.

Mezcal rather than tequila if you can get it - miles better imo!!! Tajin and chamoy if they've got any too. Or even Mexican Coca Cola (the one made from sugar cane) is fab.

Any pharmaceuticals?

Tomatillo seeds. I’d love tomatillos to be available in this country, green chilli is lush. Unfortunately the tinned ones are SO expensive so I’d like to try growing them.

Mexican vanilla, Hand blown tequella glasses!

PestorPeston · 17/07/2022 18:45

@ChiefWiggumsBoy you can get tomatillo seeds in the UK . I've grown some so had DBiL (he was much better at it 😪)

Well could you just pop to the local tortilleria and get me some please. Bit unreasonable if you won't, tbh.

JingsMahBucket · 17/07/2022 20:00

+1 for Tajin. Sprinkle it on pineapple and other fruit. It’s also what you rim margarita glasses with as well; just mix it with salt.

Lakeowlmoon · 17/07/2022 20:05

3rd Tajin- our bottle has lasted years. It's great on chilli or fajitas as a serving sprinkle.

We found the supermarket great value for souviner t shirts so have a look at those.

TakeMeToYourLiar · 17/07/2022 20:07

In the biscuit aisle they have these amazing tnings that are basically Dulce de leche sandwiched between sheets of rice paper. So good

onmywayamarillo · 17/07/2022 20:09

Anything canned
Tomatillos
Chipotle chilli sauce

Also dried chillis all of them!

Cookware is also great

Can you bring me back a tortilla press? 🤣

Okeydoky · 17/07/2022 20:12

Vanilla if you bake. So so much cheaper than the UK. Be sure to get one made of real vanilla not just flavoured.

EachandEveryone · 17/07/2022 20:47

I couldn’t find the vanilla only essence. It was a huge place but hardly any selection of tequila. I’m abit thrown where to shop tbh. It’s too hot to sit out.
