During the month of December, as the year comes to an end, street stands in Oaxaca serve "buñuelos" - fried fritters the size of a medium-sized plate and soaked in piloncillo and cinnamon syrup - the tradition says that when you are finished eating, you have to smash the plate against the floor as you make a wish for the new year.
I took this picture on Christmas eve; it is quite a unique experience to walk around the streets and every now and then hear and see plates being smashed all over the place!
