Thread: dieing for some mole

no not a critter lol
but a Mexican condiment
a deep red/brown sauce made from peppers
my grandma use to make this for us we poured it over our chicken and rice
she also made us fresh tortillas
i can remember her rolling them out and the shacks of the all over the kitchen covered in clean kitchen towles she would make enough for couple weeks at a time
does anyone have a recipe from scratch
i would like to look it over see if it can be
done L/C
i know it has peanuts chocolate and chicken broth i thin there was toast in it also

oh some menudo would be nice also!
OK as you see i miss home and the food!

You know, I've thought of mole too...

(Of course, you knew, I was wondering if you really meant a MOLE by the title! )

If Char or someone doesn't have one, I'll see what I can come up with.

Menudo? Sorry, I can't go there with a 100 foot pole! It was one of about 3 foods I've ever had in my whole life that I just couldn't bear to have in my mouth!

Yeah Sharron, I'm with you about menudo! On the other hand, fresh tortillas made the old-fashioned way with lard and patted out so thin that you see light thru them when you hold them up, those I would die for! I ate a lot of those as a kid. Throw in a pot of really creamy frijoles (again, made with lard) and you have my idea of comfort food.

i understand how some people dont like menudo but i love it!
give me a lemon and some oregano diced onion with it and yummy yummy
grandma use to make somthing like menudo but not with tripe she used pork
it was good also

OK isn't tripe some kind of stomach? and is te soup really spicy?

Jackie

Yes, tripe is part of the cow's stomach. I don't remember menudo being all that spicy but I'm sure that how people make it varies.

Esther

yes it is one part of the cow's stomach
i believe there is 4 stomach linings in a cow and the honey comb tripe that is used in the menudo is the 3 or 4th lining

hope i remembered that right lol

i dont think it is to spicy you add lemon juice and oregano as you eat it

Just an FYI, many "die-hard partiers" consider menudo to be the absolute cure for hangover

Aderyn

I agree with Sharron, I couldn't stand to put it in my mouth!

Char

Don't squat with yer spurs on!

Tripe's not bad; it just sounds bad. It's also used in pepper pot soup, something that's hard to find most places.

thanks for the info!
