Molcajete
Another thing to photograph when you only have a wide angle lens is restaurant food. This is a molcajete that my friend and I had for dinner a couple of nights ago. A molcajete is the name of a heavy thick bowl made from volcanic stone that can be heated to high temperatures and stays hot for a very long time due to its high thermal mass. It is not unusual for a dish to still be bubbling a half-hour after serving. A traditional Mexican receipe that is served in a molcajete is a mixture of grilled chicken, beef and shrimp with green and red peppers, tomatoes, onions and mushrooms in a savoury broth with melted queso fresco (Mexican cheese). It is served with fresh soft tortillas (left of photo) that you wrap the food in, plus a hot salsa on the side (top of photo). Delicious!

on November 28, 2016This looks really tasty for sure. The Molcajete vessels are used to serve food in many places in Texas, and you're right - the stay (and keep the food) hot for a long, long time.
