The Mexican way of food handling, display and marketing is slightly different than what we as US citizens and shoppers are used to.
For instance, on a recent trip I found a Walmart meat department employee chopping up fresh chickens on a butcher block right in the middle of the sales floor! No water, no gloves and it all seemed very strange and old school butcher
shop. No the chickens did not have feathers on them, She was unwrapping whole chickens, cutting them up and packaging them for sale. This was an attempt for shoppers to see super fresh chickens.
I have also seen freshly caught WHOLE octopus on ice in the fish department along with other ocean delights. This is the real "Bizarre Foods" but live!
Walmart, as well as other large grocery stores in tourist cities are an attraction as well as a place to shop. Soriana, Ley, and Mega are all interesting.
Remenber these things??
Found one like this at Soriana
where they still make orange
juice the old way....spectacular!!
