Have you ever had chiles en nogada?
We spulrged at a historic restaurant the hosteria santo domingo so my sister could sample chiles en nogada- a patriotic dish of stuffed pobalanos (green) with a creamy walnut & almond sauce (white) sprinkled with pomegranate seeds (red). The peppers are stuffed with ground pork/beef, pineapples, pears, peaches, apples, platanos, onion,pine nuts, cinnamon, raisins. Its a little odd & delicious. Though I am always disappointed with the expensive restaurants. I would much rather be blown away by a 25 peso lunch or those fantastic blue corn quesadillas that you can find on the street.- stuffed with prehispanic delicacies like, huitlacoche or nopales or tinga...
I think so many mexican foods are better the second time around. Like obleas, those wafers filled with goats milk caramel & HUITLACOCHE (corn smut) & tequila with squirt (that nytime article)
