All of the vendors that I met said that as a vegetarian, I lucked out. I could have been situated next to other markets such as the historical Mercado de San Juan in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xochimilco" target="_blank">Xochimilco</a>, which sells large variety of meats ie pigs, chickens, maguey worms, and sharks, to name a few. Lucky for me, Medellin specializes in the sale of fruits, vegetables, grains, and other foods vegetarians consider a staple and in comparison, has a tiny meat section. Like all mercados, there are many food stalls to choose from but excited from my purchases, I raced home to make lunch. On my next trip to Medallin, I will find what vegetarian goodies they have to offer and report back. </p>http://veg-df.tumblr.com/post/16199763830http://veg-df.tumblr.com/post/16199763830Fri, 20 Jan 2012 19:22:00 -0600mercadomercado medellinmedellinvegetarianveganfruitsvegetablesmexicomexico citymexico dfdfdistrito federalfederal districtcolonia romaromaroma surcolonia roma sur
