GUACAMOLE FACTS

Avocado
 By. Zapata Mexican Restaurant

Avocados are considered a staple in Mexico. They are the one item we try to never run out of. Not only are they extremely tasty, they are good for you too. Avocados are loaded with vitamins B, E and K. They are high in fiber and have more potassium than bananas. They also contain carotenoids, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids. Avocados are smooth, creamy, and taste wonderful plain. 
They are the main ingredient in guacamole. I prefer to taste more avocado than spice in my guacamole, but there are many different recipes for this yummy dip.  Whether you make this with guacamole mix, just add salsa or start from scratch, it is sure to be a great addition to any Mexican dish. 
If you want to try your hand at making homemade guacamole, just peel, mash and add a little flavor.  P.S. Guacamole goes well with our tortilla chips.
Almost every authentic Mexican delicacy goes well with the guacamole, from fajitas, tacos, burritos, steaks (carne asada),
Try out these delicacies today at Zapata mexican restaurant and Tequila Bar.

THE MEXICAN CULINARY EXPERIENCE (WESTLANDS)

Mexican food is gaining popularity all over the globe for many reasons. There is a wide range of Mexican food and you can taste combinations you might not have tried before. It smells wonderful, tastes great, and is also very healthy. Mexican food differs through the ages, depending on the ingredients available but the sheer volume of Mexican restaurants appearing all over the world prove what an exciting and enjoyable cuisine it is. Authentic Mexican recipes are easy to find but if you want to make your own Mexican food, you can be as creative as you like.
A lot of the Mexican food available to day is based on traditional Mexican recipes, which the Aztecs and Mayas invented. There are also some exotic recipes featuring iguana, rattlesnake, and spider monkeys, which are not unheard of ingredients but are seldom used in modern Mexican cuisine. We have plenty more ingredients from all over the world to use in our recipes these days and Mexican food has evolved as a result of that.

FACTS AND THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT COFFEE

It all started with "Dancing goats"
Here is the truth:

• The Ethiopian shepherds first noticed the effects of caffeine when they saw their goats appearing to become frisky and "dance" after eating coffee berries.
• Originally coffee was eaten .

African tribes mixed coffee berries with fat which formed edible energy balls

• The rise of Islam

This contributed greatly to the popularity of coffee. The religion prohibited drinking alcohol, but coffee was considered an acceptable drink.

• All coffee grows in the bean belt

The "bean-Belt" is the area between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn). 

Hawaii is the only state in the US that grows coffee.

• In the year 1675, the king of England banned coffee houses, claiming they were places where people met to conspire against him.
• 70% of the world consumes Arabica coffee, which is mild and aromatic. The remaining 30% drinks Robusta, which is more bitter- tasting but has 50% more caffeine than Arabica.
• Coffee grows in trees. They can grow to be up to 30 feet tall, but are cultivated to be around 10 feet (3 m) tall for easy picking.
• The bean is usually a seed inside a bright berry.
• Coffee is the second most traded on earth. Oil is the first.
• Coffee berries are picked, dried and stripped down until  all that is left is a green bean.
• Once shipped, the beans are roasted at around 500 F. After a few minutes, the beans will "pop" and double in size. A few minutes after that, the bean will "pop" once more. The second pop means the bean is done. Whereby its ready to fulfill its destiny.
• Espresso: |e-spres-oh| 

Its not a particular type of bean, roast or blend. Its just a way that coffee is prepared  (shooting pressurized, hot water through finely ground coffee)
