Higaditos

If you’re at a traditional wedding in Oaxaca, chances are that you will eat a big bowlful of this hearty soup for breakfast. It will most likely be washed down with a steaming cup of hot Oaxacan drinking chocolate, a side of tortillas, and freshly baked bread, too. Weddings in Oaxaca are a big deal. They start early in the morning, and the padrinos (godparents) are responsible for feeding guests something in the morning to hold them over until the real party begins later in the day.
