Shucos
After dark outside Guatemala City's schools, stadiums and bus stops, the shuco carts fire up: buns toasted on the griddle, split and loaded with a smear of guacamole, a pile of boiled cabbage, sausages and stripes of mayonnaise, mustard and hot sauce. The sausages are usually pork or pork-and-beef hot dogs, sometimes with longaniza or chorizo alongside. It is messy, cheap and very good. The mistake to avoid is putting the guacamole on last; it goes on the bread first so it glues everything else in place. Chef's tip: squeeze the boiled cabbage hard in a cloth; wet cabbage turns the bun soggy before you get it to your mouth.
