Mhhh, then I got it wrong, I was thinking of "pork ham" but you were writting about "pan dulce"...
Huuu, there are plenty of different kinds of pan dulce with everything you can imagine to stuff them, can be Pineaple marmalade, strawberry jelly, etc. I don't know if bakeries in Playa make the ones filled with "Cajeta" if they do, don't miss them. Is a caramel made from goat milk and sugar, it is cooked until is "burned" and aquieres a very brown color, but the flavor is not of a burnt meal at all. Almost look like liquid chocolate or syrup.
For the name of each, is sooooooooo difficult because in every town in Mexico they have ther own name even if it's the same recipy. You will have to ask the clerk or stay a long time at the shelves trying to decide (it also happens to me on some days).
buen provecho
