CrossedSignals Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Here's an odd one I like: Baked beans, fresh mozzarella, basil, and tomato (it's gotta be a good tomato though.... no generic supermarket beefsteaks... yecchhh ) on toasted French bread.

Although I have had fish finger sandwiches. And while not typically served on a sandwich, chocolate and chili con carne is very similar to a traditional Mexican dish - mole. (pronounced moe-leh, not like the small rodent) It's pronounced mohleh, not really moeleh. Just pointing that out, as a Mexican who loves mole! And yes, sometimes it is even made with peanut butter. It's very strange but chocolate as a sauce for meat would not seemed to far-fetched after trying this. It's not all chocolate though? Here are spices and many other ingredients, depending on who makes it. How the heck do you pronounce, "Moe?" Yeah, I've had it with peanut butter as well. [sings: "you've got your peanut butter in my chocolate mole!"] Guess it depends where in Mexico you're from. Oddly enough, my grandmother's had neither. Don't know what that was about. Well, sorry, I guess I should've stressed it's not an English O sound, but a !exican one. I can't think of an English equivalent. Somewhere in between the au in audacity and the oe on moe. Back to the food...mole poblano is one of my favorite dishes. And then there's Oaxaca (wah-hah-cah ), Land of the Seven Moles. Great place below to read up n\on Oaxacan mole...and to steal some recipes: http://www.mexconnect.com/articles/2266-th...the-seven-moles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
