For there, instead of the cow, a sort of century plant
gives milky white _pulque_, the fermented juice of this
cactuslike desert plant. With this goes a vegetable cheese curded
by its own vegetable rennet. It's called tuna cheese, made from
the milky juice of the prickly pear that grows on yet another
cactuslike plant of the dry lands. This tuna cheese sometimes
teams up in arid lands with the juicy thick cactus leaf sliced
into a tortilla sandwich. The milky _pulque_ of Xochomilco goes
as well with it as beer with a Swiss cheese sandwich.
Y Yolk Picnic Sandwich
Hard-cooked egg yolk worked into a yellow paste with cream
cheese, mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, celery salt and a touch
of tabasco, spread on thick slices of whole wheat bread.
Z Zebra
Take a tip from Oskar over in Copenhagen and design your own
Zebra sandwich as decoratively as one of those oft-photoed skins
in El Morocco. Just alternate stripes of black bread with various
white cheeses in between, to follow, the black and white zebra
pattern.
