Romeritos
Well, they are a plant and they look a lot like thick grass. You boil them. You also boil some nopales. Then you throw out the liquid and put them in mole, add boiled potatoes, preferably the little ones, and to top it off you put these fried shrimp patties on top. It sounds weird but it is really good.
This link has a photo of uncooked romeritos http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thu...xican_food.jpg and this other one has a photo of the finished dish. http://www.spanishschool.uninter.edu.../romeritos.jpg except that this one was donre with fresh shrimp.

Ihaven't the vaguest idea what they might be called in English. There's a lot of stuff that's cooked doen in central and soutjern Mexico that is different but good. For example; Flor de calabza (Zuchini flowers), Palm tree blossoms, or on the carnivorous side: Iguana, I ate iguana tacos and they were very good. I thought it was chicken until someone told me different. I wouldn't have eaten it if I'd known but...it really was tasty.

Romeritos are from the rosemary family. I grow them next to my herb garden. My aunts visited from Mexico not long ago and the first thing they commented on was "M'hija, tienes romeritos! Que bueno!" Nurseries call rosemary "romero" in Spanish. There are quite a few varietals and this one happens to be the wild variety.

Rosettes
does anyone hate to do bunuelos but loves to eat them???
Well, I found the perfect solution. And they taste awesome!! They are not too oily, not to think , light and crunchy!! you can add cinnamon to make bunuelo tasting rossetes or powder sugar to make funnel cake types. Here is the recipe:   ( The iron shapes are for sale @ Vargas hardware store that's the only place I have seen them here in Eagle Pass) INGREDIENTS: * 2 eggs * 1 tablespoon sugar * 1/4 teaspoon salt * 1 cup flour * 1 cup milk * 1/4 teaspoon vanilla * Oil for deep frying PREPARATION: Beat eggs slightly. Add sugar and salt. Add flour and milk alternately, blending until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Heat 3" of oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees. (A deep frying thermometer is very helpful, and I highly recommend it.) Place a rosette iron in the hot oil for 30-60 seconds. Dip the hot iron into the batter, making sure NOT to let the batter run over the top of the iron. If you do, the rosette will be impossible to remove. Immerse the coated iron in the hot fay and fry 25-30 seconds until light brown. Slip off onto a paper towel. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar while still hot.

No firstlady, she won't have you up and down...hee hee! She's got what's her name there. I'll make sure she calls you when they're ready to go!
