Acquired Taste

COMES FROM PUEBLA
Not Margaritaville
best with iguana legs

WALLPAPER:  ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS
-------  
.. If you don't have the time for homemade mole, this is the way to go.
.. Cinco De Mayo has somehow magically transmogrified into Hispanic and Mexican pride celebrations in the United States. Often just another excuse to get pie-eyed with just one more drink.
.. In Puebla, Mexico it is still a celebration of the battle of Puebla: a battle where poorly equipped Mexican heroes destroyed a French army. That's the reason for the extra pulque.
.. Mole Poblano Con Pollo is the dish of choice and it is fitting for the celebration. We do it a couple of times each year.
.. For some norteamericanos there is never enough tequila to get this down the gullet. For some of us it is just grand the way it is. Fanta naranja is a good chaser.
.. We use chicken wings but, it is much better with iguana rear legs.

.. Whisper it quietly - we may get to 70°F in the next couple of days. Word will certainly spread fast enough.
