Diego: My favorite food in Mexico is chiles en nogada. Chiles means pepper and this is a very traditional Mexican dish because our flag is green, white and red, so this plate, the peppers are green, and then it has a white sauce on top of it and then it has a grain sort of fruit. It's a red fruit and it's representing our flag so it's very... It's a very historical plate in Mexico. It's very famous.

 

Rebecca: Oh, wow. I don't think we have anything like that in Australia. It'd be hard to get something that you'd eat that's blue and red and white.

 

Diego: Blue and red.

 

Rebecca: Yeah. Maybe fish.

 

Diego: Fish with strawberries.

 

Rebecca: I don't think that would work.

 

Diego: Yeah.

 

Rebecca: So what about tacos? Do you eat them a lot?

 

Diego: Yeah, we eat them a lot. Tacos is like Mexican fast food, so there's a lot of tacos stands in Mexico, and you can have them in all sorts of ways: with cheese, with onions, with meat, with different sauces, like green sauce, hot sauce, red sauce. Yeah.

 

Rebecca: Do the tortillas... do they stand up or are they round ones that always fall over when you go to eat them?

 

Diego: They're the round ones and they're also soft so they're not corn chips.

 

Rebecca: Like the ones we get.

 

Diego: Yes.

 

Rebecca: Not true Mexican.
