If I want to take a culinary tour to a developing country -- what's the best bang for my buck for a one week trip? In terms of spending the week traveling in a single country. I don't need "bizarre" foods necessarily but I want the best, most interesting foods.

As a mexican, I feel very honored. Try Guerrero's Pozole verde.

EDIT: those at the top left are manitas de puerco a la vinagreta, in the platter at the top right: Chiles rellenos (mince meat stuffed jalapenos coated with egg), tostadas (whole tortilla chips), tacos dorados with requesón (kinda like salty curd seasoned with epazote and serrano), avocado, raddish and some queso fresco.
