Bringing home food and drink will help you remember your
trip to Albuquerque, and help you share the amazing flavors of this place with
your friends and family. When I visit friends and family far away I like to
bring jars of salsa, ristras of red chile and even frozen green chile (wrapped
in many layers of newspaper and stuffed in a suitcase it will usually make it
there still frozen.) Look in the shops in Old Town or in local grocery stores
for New Mexican products and ingredients that are often impossible to find back
home.
