Endemic ingredients and others introduced to the country during the colonial years have given as a result dishes that cause a hypnotic effect through senses: sight enjoys watching the mixture; smell emphasizes the desire to taste; and taste delights us not only the palate but also the soul, especially in the case of the sweet dishes, the focal topic on this occasion.<\/p>\n

There are even museums and markets to honor them, where we can try and buy the best ones, such as “Museo del Dulce” at Bernal, amd the traditional “Mercado de Dulces y Artesan\u00edas” in Morelia.<\/p>\n
