Comida Tapatia: Torta Ahogada

Another of Guadalajara's signature foods is the torta ahogada (drowned sandwich) which is a....sandwich, half-submerged in salsa, usually of the picante tomato variety.

Certainly tastes good, I have to say that I am not won over. I mean, how are you supposed to eat this thing?  I don't think I'm being overly fussy; you're literally eating a sandwich out of a bowl of soup, usually with your hands. There's messy and there's inconveniently so.

I get it, OK? I do. Tortas are good. Spicy tomato sauce is good. But when you mix'em together, you're not necessarily going to get Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, you know?
