I have heard from a friend that fry bread is unique and not to be confused with soppillias. Anyone else have an idea where to get fry bread? There is a special place just outside of El Paso, an old Indian reservation, that served bread baked in an outdoor adobe oven, but not fry bread. The reservation is right on the Rio Grande so I do not know how safe it is right now.
We enjoyed our visits to Juarez in the 60s. There was a government project just over the boarder that specialized in selling original, hand made Mexican crafts, dishes, art, etc. I wish now that I had shopped more.
I only tangled with the boarder once. I did not think when I took two metal chairs with me one day to be repaired by the welder in Juarez. We had a good day and picked up the repaired chairs on the way home. There I was stopped by the US boarder guards who wanted tariff on the chairs. "But they are my chairs." I said. We had a conversation and I did not have to pay on my J.C. Penney chairs.
It always tickled me that when I bought avocados in Juarez as I had to cut them in half at the boarder to bring them in. On each avocado was a sticker that said, "grown in California". Well we know California is not safe, but avocados? I kept the pits which make nice house plants.
