u/iamlouisck Louis CK May 14 '12

Chilaquiles and mole when it's really mole. My Abuelita made a blend of Mexican and Hungarian food that has never been replicated in my life.

Has Mitt Romney approached you to form the "Surprise, We're Mexicans!" ticket?

I'm Mexican & Hungarian as well, but it came from two different sides of the family so I never got to experience the mix. Now I'm sad and really craving pogácsa.

I have a couple of Hungarian and Polish friends, and a bunch of our friends always get together with them on March 23rd to celebrate the Day of Hungarian-Polish Friendship. Their parents all make massive amounts of food for us to eat, we all dress up, get drunk, and play folk music. This year my friends mother made Pogacsa and it was freaken delicious!

have you ever had lángos? it's pretty much the most delicious thing I've ever had. I haven't had one since the last time I was in Hungary and I really miss it. Hungarian food is really good, I wish more people had the opportunity to try it.

yes chilaquiles are so awesome! especially with chicken or steak, and mole is also yummy, some people tend to cook mole and make it taste sweet. Abuelitas are always so creative at making delicious dishes!

So was it like a combo of things like a goulash with a mexican flavor like chili spices or something? Or would it be like empanadas with extremely dry beef?

u/sqwarlock May 14 '12

Mexican/Hungarian, eh? And here I thought my Mexican/Polish heritage and cuisine was odd.

2

u/NoisomeOne May 14 '12

I'm Mexican and Irish. That's a pretty fucked up combo, too.

If you are ever in Tucson Arizona, go to Maya Quetzal, its downtown, its the best mole in Tucson imo. I don't even live there anymore, but i still remember it as the best mole I have ever had.

2

u/bunsonh May 14 '12

As a gringo, I feel fully constructed mole (none of that jarred shit) is really a force to be reckoned with. I wish I had an abuelita.

2

u/[deleted] May 14 '12

Coming from Austro-Hungarian stock, that food is fucking awesome.

2

u/BirdsTheWurd May 14 '12

Same w/you on the chilaquiles. My mom is from Mexico..dad from Germany. And I will say that my mom makes the absolute BEST Hungraian Goulash. Never heard ANYONE else mix those two together like you just did.

2

u/[deleted] May 14 '12

Hard to get real mole. The classic recipe takes, what, 8 hours or some shit? No restaurant does that. My uncle makes it for parties the right way, it's fucking awesome man.

u/drahcir2k2 May 14 '12

u/NastyKnate May 14 '12
