According to the Seattle Times, Mexican president Vicente Fox will be visiting Seattle later this month. He’s expected to fly in on May 24th and leave the next day.

It’s not that I don’t follow politics, but my first thought upon hearing this was, “I wonder if they would give me fifteen minutes to talk to him about Mexican food.” Presumably he will initially say that he couldn’t possibly choose a favorite among his nation’s many delicious regions, but when pressed, will admit to favoring the *antojitos* of his native Guanajuato.

We’d hold the interview at a taco truck, of course. I would have two al pastor and one lengua. Fox’s choice of tacos would be scrutinized for weeks by the Mexican press.

Possibly he would order a torta.
