Why Mole deserves more attention

Mole rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The complex and layered with chilli complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using Mexican chocolate correctly takes real skill.

Mexican cuisine is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. I encountered it first in an Oaxacan restaurant and that context helped me understand it properly. horchata is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Mole is the dish to start with.
