Cook's Tour - Peubla

[sladeums]

I seem to recall from the book you had mentioned in passing not enjoying Chiles en Nogada. (if not the rest of this post is moot, move on)

I was curious about this, as this is supposedly one of the more popular festive dishes much like the turkey (guajalote en mole) that was featured nicely in the show.

What about the dish did you find objectionable, or could you elaborate on the composition of the version you were served?

Also, were there any other particular items you were fond of in Mexico that didn't make the cut in the book/show (besides iguana)?

Finally, why is the West Coast so much better than the E.. (just kidding).

Thanks

I don't know. I just didn't like the overwhelming perfume of undercooked pignoles..the dried fruit..the cream sauce. It was too sweet for me. Matter of taste I suppose. Just about everything else in Mexico I loved.

Tony -

My husband's family is from Peubla and I am going there to visit.  Being pale skinned, I will be venturing out onlu at night.  Any suggestions on where to go and what to eat?
