Is this dish in a white sauce, cream, or a cheese sauce?

The "goo" is a cream sauce made with ground walnuts, recipes differ. Some add sherry, others a fresh cheese etc. My wife uses heavy cream.

what time is cena??

I'm sure its good with chicken, beef, pork or maybe even lamb...

Here at home, folks are usually surprised when talking about Mexico and the cuisine... I tell them that I usually find the food kinda bland...

This gal prepared & served her grandmother's recipe and it was served hot. The only thing I didn't catch was what was the white powder she rolled her chili in before frying it? I'm assuming corn starch. Anyway, she used ground pork. And I picked up a few more tips on how to take off the chili skins. Boy, my Mexican friend's didn't want me messing with it. You'd be amazed how much that burns your hands! lol Of course rub lime juice all over it to get the sting out. :)

Parker........where is that coming from?

Like all foods, taste is what happens when your little buds meet the food. Some tastes are acquired: there's folks out there who like haggis; chocolate covered ants and you name it, including pure blubber.
I've tried to like those chiles en nogada.........I'm always suckered by how pretty they are. Sigh.

I'm kind of with Chapalagringa on the problem of raisins, fruit and meat. I think goat cheese would be interesting as an alternative. Love Puebla food. Yum.

Sorry, couldn’t resist and yes we’ve lived all over the world and have more than likely eaten rat and really couldn’t tell you if it was good or not, just don’t know, however this is still funny, No? A picture is worth a thousand words. Very Happy

I had the Chili en Nogada at Viva Mexico and I have to say it is the best Mexican dish I have ever tasted. All the combinations (pomegranate, walnut sauce and ground beef) mixed together have a taste that works perfectly for me.

Not the “rat in a trap” issue. Hahaha !!! Very Happy

Cheena: After reading the link, I don't know whether to laugh or gag! Maybe both.
