The history of the mole goes back to the pre-Columbian era and there are several versions of its origin as we know it today.
It is said that the Aztecs prepared for the great lords a complex dish called “mulli,” meaning porridge or mixture. Another story places the mole poblano in the Convent of Santa Rosa in Puebla (Mexico) when a nun grounded together various chilies and other seasonings in a metate. Another version says that Spaniards brought different condiments to the natives, who then used them to transform the fusion of the mole.
As you can see, there are many histories of the mole, but it is clear that the Mole is a special dish for the nobility, it represents one of the greatest gifts that indigenous people have contributed to the world, and symbolizes the interconnection between two cultures. Wednesday, Nov. 19 from 6:30 – 10:00 p.m. $7 / 2nd Floor Gallery.
