The flavor of MOLE

[meccahi]

WTF?

On a random whim I found this little box of beef boullion and was reading the side.. because one side is in spanish and the other in english.

Verbatim.. this is what it says..

"Use one or more cubes to enhance the flavor of soups, stews, sauces, MOLE, rice, vegetables and pasta.

I capitalized mole for em-phasis. But.. what the hell???

Since when do we eat moles on a regular basis???

I peeked to the other side, and it says it in spanish as well. Not Guacamole.. just..mole.

And then I wonder about the flavor of mole.. and Molly and I start talking about the guac-less mole.. adn well

It all sounds just a little dirty.

Mole (pronounced Mo-lay) is a Mexican sauce of sorts that's made with chocolate. It's not sweet, it actually tends to be hot. Closer to how chocolate was originally used. If you happen to find yourself a Mexican place that makes good mole, go and chow down. It kicks ass.

Heh.

God I'm so white.

I kinda suspected it was something like that.. but it definitely got me thinking of mole stew.. mole bits.. mole-kebabs..

I'm definitely going to try it now though. I like anything with a kick.

It's one of the few Mexican dishes I really like. I know, a spic who hates Mexican food. I'm fired.
Good mole is hard to find though. Don't go anywhere that isn't owned, run and staffed by Mexicans (preferably an old lady or five), make sure the customers are mostly brown (if the brown people eat there it's home cookin') and judge by word of mouth. It's the only way to find good mole. If you lived near Fort Hankock, TX I could tell you where to go.
