What comes to mind when you think of Mexican food? I’m pretty sure it’s not the jericalla (a custard-based dessert from Guadalajara with woodruff, apple, mead and wood ants) I had at the Michelin-starred Kol in London (with an 1867 Madeira; yes, the pairings are startling there, too). Nor perhaps the burritos and enchiladas you might find at a branch of Taco Bell, which is more Tex-Mex, as opposed to the kind of modern Mexican food you find in Mexico City, Oaxaca and London these days.
