Yum indeed. It's really confusing (and wonderful) that Oaxacans often use standard terms for very different (and differently-prepared) foods. That's what makes it difficult to spot Oaxacan restaurants (those that aren't flamingly Oaxacan), at least on the east coast. Menus can look totally generic and normal, yet everything tastes really different and surprising. Of course I just LOVE that, too!
 
I'm a big fan of Brazilian air-dried beef. Come to think of it, I'm wondering if any/all of these latin/hispanic dried beef derive from Turkish basturma (Turks and Lebanese brought a lot of foods to that part of the world). But I'm digressing.
