    Haha “jizz drink” is the best description I’ve heard about pulque. Back when I was a drinker I tasted that thing and I didn’t like it at all, bloody disgusting. Great video mate! I hope you are having a swell time here

    Scorpions are the symbol of Durango, one of the northern, desertic states of Mexico. So you can skip it now :p
    I never liked them and you're right, the after taste is awful.
    I'm happy to see you enjoying Mexico, Bienvenido, Ben!
    Ps: Pulque can be very tasty but it may make your stomach suffer if it's your first time, so be careful (and if it happened to you, you know what to blame)

    £25 for nasty insects is something I'd definitely pass. No need to burn money like that just for the footage. The market looked really interesting to explore though. Asking for the price beforehand is also good advice. One can't pay me enough to try cockroach. Would pass on the larva too. Anyway, fun exploits and I'm loving Mexico. Your buddy Rafa is a cool dude, knowledgeable. Excellent content mate.
