Chocolate eggs for breakfast in Oaxaca

I had chocolate eggs for breakfast. Huevos Oaxacanenos is made with a chocolate mole salsa, a local specialty.  Eating vegetarian has been a challenge here in Mexico, especially with my limited Spanish vocabulary.  I usually have eggs for breakfast and enchiladas without meat for dinner.  Once I found a slice of ham under my eggs; so now I’ll say “No como carne, no como jamon, no como pollo”. Three carloads of hit men in white shirts got out of their cars to greet me on the highway. It’s the campaign entourage of local politician Emilio Mendoza Kaplan, who’s the PRI candidate for Deputy of the 7^th district in the upcoming July 5^th elections. I recognized him from his signs that are everywhere. They used me for a photo op; then gave me a hat and t-shirt. I’ve got friends in high places.
