I have never seen anyone eat mole on guacamole
Getting back to the topic that this thread didn't start with, but that it was on in the middle before it becamse a thread on how people post and read (I do hope I'm doing the right thing by the threadnodists by replying to the post I cite above, rather than the last one - I have to admit I've never threaded) -
"mole" is actually the nahuatl word for "sauce," and guacamole is just a smushing together (often with bits of onion, salt, some lemon juice, sometimes some picante sauce) of the words aguacate and mole. Mole, as referred to quite accurately by consuelo as super-yummy when done right, is known in formal circles as "mole poblano", or "the people's mole." Its name has just been truncated and is now used to refer to a particular sauce, even though it originally just meant "sauce."
Shall I stop yammering about this and go eat lunch now?
p.s. - now that I've finished writing all this, I'm almost certain I've posted this exact bit of info' befo'
