Bread & Chocolate - La Comida de Puebla

Puebla is the Lyon of Mexico, the city that the locals invariably bring up when a conversation turns to their country's cuisine. If you were to identify the quintessential Mexican plate, you would probably winnow the choice down to two finalists: mole poblano, a preparation of chicken or turkey in a rich, dark blend of chocolate, spices, nuts and chiles; and chiles en nogada, another festive recipe, in which large poblano chiles are stuffed with a picadillo of ground meat and diced fruit, then topped with a walnut-and-sour-cream sauce. But however much they applaud these complicated dishes, most foreign aficionados of Mexican food fail to register the fact that the word "poblano" in both dishes derives from the name of the country's fourth-largest city.
