[Sca-cooks] Unique tapas

[charding at nwlink.com]

Where in Chiapas? and when?

The last time I was in Chiapas (in Tuxtla Gutiérrez and San Cristóbal de
las Casas and some small villages) There were some great markets with lots
of fresh veggies and fruit.  This was in the early 90s in February I
think....

There should be lots of seasonal fruits and veggies.
