When in Mexico City, try pulque, Posted by Daniel H on March 25, 2023, 8:19 pm https://www.economist.com/culture/2023/03/23/when-in-mexico-city-try-pulque-a-local-tipple "In the early 20th century the city boasted around 1,500 pulquerías. That was before big brewers and distillers began a long campaign of demonisation, in which the drink was portrayed as primitive and unhygienic. A false rumour held that excrement aided its fermentation. By the early 21st century, just a dozen or so remained."

Re: When in Mexico City, try pulque, Posted by Tracy H on March 26, 2023, 12:21 pm, in reply to "Re: When in Mexico City, try pulque," Frida Kahlo loved pulque and there are still some wonderful pulquerias around Mx City, Puebla, Cholula. Frida and her students painted a mural on a local pulqeria not far from her house in Coyoacan (a suburb of Mx City). Sadly it is no longer there. However, the pulquerias that are there offer great tasting flights - sometimes up to 11 different flavours.

Thanks for the fun subject Daniel Frida Kahlo offering pulque

Here is one generated by DALL-E AI using the prompt - Frida Kahlo offering pulque - DALL-E would do better if I used more words to describe what I wanted it to do, but yours is much better.
