Awesome Snack Food

After years in Mexico we have discovered a lot of different foods. Some you need to acquire a taste. Others are addictive. Here is one that is not advertised and not available in every Super. Called JOCOQUE It comes in various flavors. The best is Zanahoria. You can use it as chip dip or instead of sour cream on a baked potato. I guarantee you will eat the whole container at one sitting. Some of the other flavors are just too spicy. It comes from Mochis and should be available in Maz. Try Wal mart. Sort of a cross between Yoghurt and sour cream.

  • It's origin was produced on a rancho with goat's milk. Fermented then seasoned and flavored to taste. Infinite variations. Mexico's own form of a "yoghurt". Homemade from Oaxaca tastes entirely different from Jocoque de Jalisco. I don't know about the supermarket stuff.

    My weakness is for rebanadas de mango dishidrato. Con polvo de chili rojo y jugo de limon.

    Translated: Dehydrated mango slices, spiced with red chili powder and lime juice.

    Some folks use sugar which acts as a preservative. I use concentrated ascorbic acid and Stevia. When I get back I think we're going to try going commercial -- that and mermelada de mango, low sugar. Dehydrating is the expensive and labor intensive part.
  • I doubt you will find that one in the USA. It is a refrigerated product. Even in Mexico it is not everywhere.

  • The reason I asked was, (not knowing much Spanish) I googled "zanahoria" and the translation word that came up was "carrot."

    You are making me wonder if any of the Hispanic groceries here in Tulsa have the stuff on their shelves. Garlic and cilantro are favorites of mine.
  • No there is no strong carrot flavor. Contains: Garlic, cilantro, chile chiltepin and chili serano. YUM!!

  • So, does it have a carrot flavor, or is carrot one of the ingredients?
  • It's great stuff! We found it first in Mazatlan, and then in Puerto Vallarta. We haven't looked here in Zihuatanejo yet.
    Thanks for reminding us!
