[Mitarbeiter.zoologie] Some chips from Guatemala

[Patricia Landaverde Gonzáles]

Hi everybody!
I am back and this time i don't bring candies. But i bring chips, some that are a very strong tradition in Guatemala. The brand is "Tortrix", although Fernando comment me they also have something similar in Yucatan, that i was imagine should be like that. They are made from maiz, basically is a tortilla cut in pieces and then cook with some condiments. I bring two one maiz/tortilla with barbacoa and the other maiz/tortilla with barbacoa and chicharon (pork crackling). 

In Guatemala is a very old brand almost 50-60 years old and is so traditional that is even consider to be part of our identity as guatemalan (chapin). We all eat it as children.
It is so important that there were some very funny advertisement of how eating this chips "everybody" becomes Guatemalan (chapin).
If you have time you can see the advertisement in the beginning in English and then in pure guatemalan slang.
I hope you enjoy the maiz treasure chips!!
