:dons foodie pedant hat: Mole (pronounced MOH-leh) is a Mexican dish. The word means "sauce." The Mexican states of Puebla and Oaxaca are particularly known for it. Moles are rich, complex, and highly flavorful and come in many many varieties. The most famous mole, and the one most commonly seen here in the States, is mole poblano. It contains (among other things) chiles, onions, nuts, seeds, and unsweetened chocolate. When you order a mole dish, you may be surprised by the ratio of "sauce" to "solids"--it's often served with a lot more sauce surrounding the chicken/scoop of rice/etc than you might expect. As the saying goes, the mole is the meal. And when it's good, it's good.
Nope. Not my hat. Though it's quite tasty... My hat looks like this [pulls out rainbow beanie with shiny twirly propellor on top and lot of blinkie LEDs].
"Mine" was the mmm-mole comment. But I don't have it copyrighted (yet) so don't worry. ;)
