chained_bear commented on the word mole poblano
"One of the most interesting and unexpected survivals" of medieval cookery "lives on in Mexico's mole poblano, a fusion of American ingredients with the flavors of medieval Spain: turkey, chocolate, vanilla, and chilies married with almonds, cloves, and cinnamon. ... It is as though the tastes of Montezuma and the Catholic kings meet on the plate."
--Jack Turner, _Spice: The History of a Temptation_ (NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 2004), 303-4
