Ingredient appreciation — what makes Pozole special

What sets Pozole apart is the handling of masa harina. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the bright and citrusy result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

Mexican cuisine is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The a family mercado lunch atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had mezcal as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Pozole is the place to start.
