/ck/ - Food & Cooking

It's important to note that picking a Mexican national dish is a very difficult task because cuisine in this country is very diverse because the country itself is very diverse. IMO mole is a good choice because the ingredients used come from Europe and the Americas. This is a good metaphor for what Mexico is as a country and a culture: a mixture of two different worlds.

Unlike chiles en nogada, this is eaten throughout the country. I've never met anybody who's hasn't had it.
