I have no idea... :) We were at a place they call a "botanera," where basically snack dishes and beer is sold. It's a popular after-work hangout for those in this area of the state of Morelos. The fish farm is there, but small. It was originally part of a network of them created by the state of Morelos to enrich their economy, as there isn't much unique from the area that can be exported to other parts of Mexico for sale. Sorry I cannot be of much help on the type of fish. Here in the U.S. we generally do eat fish as filets and not with the heads attached. We, of course, didn't eat the head but ate the meat off with a fork. I agree that it's a cultural difference. -ZTX 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

My immersion/intensive experience
Well, I can add my two pennies worth here I think,a s I had a very good "mini" immersin experience a couple of years ago. I first studied French at an immersion weekend run by The Paul Noble Language Institute, which is London based. I can vouch for the quality of their course for anyone who is either a beginner or who does know some of the language but can't quite get over that barrier to actually communicate in it properly. Anyway, it was a very significant learning experience for me and well worth the mere £90 that I paid for the two days. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I didn't get why that is funny, either. Cutting fish into filets is the normal and typical way of eating fish. We don't eat it off the bone (generally speaking) in the U.S. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

What is the Paul Noble course actually like? Is it something vaguely equivalent to Michel Thomas courses (limited conversational French which allows you to meet "survival level" but nothing else) or is it more substantive? How are the lessons actually conducted? I'm interested in the course, but naturally a little sceptical of the jargon displayed on the website. 1 person has voted this message useful |
