Do they sell MOLE meat in a can?

Question

I was in the international foods section of the supermarket yesterday. I saw a can that said MOLE, all the other words were in Spanish, which I cant read, I am intelligent, I took French in school, not the easy language, So is there a factory in Mexico where they slaughter moles and can the meat? is that the secret ingredient that makes a burrito taste so good?

Answer 1

No. I do not think so

Answer 2

The word "Mole" comes from the Aztec word "Molli," meaning "concoction," "stew" or "sauce." To the unenlightened, Mole is a Mexican chocolate sauce. In Mexico, Mole is a hundred dishes in a hundred homes. It varies from town to town and family to family. The most famous Mole, "Mole Poblano de Guajolote" (made with Wild Turkey--the bird, not the booze) is a special complex dish carefully woven together using dried chiles, nuts, seeds, vegetables, spices and chocolate (preferably ground, toasted cacao beans, but Mexican chocolate, such as Ibarra brand, is acceptable).

Some refer to Mole Poblano as the National dish of Mexico. But there are many, many Moles, including Green Mole with Tomatillos, Green Mole with Pumpkinseeds, Orange-Red Mole, Red Mole, Yellow Mole and the famous peasant Soup, Mole de Olla. To some, Mole is a sauce poured on enchiladas and heated up in a microwave. To others, Mole is a Turkey (or Chicken) stew. To me, Mole is my expression of passion for cooking, especially cooking with chiles. It is a tribute to 17th century tradition while it allows me to create a new dish every time I make it.

There are many stories about the historical origins of Mole. They almost all agree that Mole was born between 1680 and 1688 in one of the convents in the Mexican city, Puebla de los Ángeles. The most frequently told story is that Sor Andrea, sister superior of the Santa Rosa Convent, created the dish to honor the Archbishop for having a convent built for her order. Another spin suggests she was honoring the Viceroy, Don Tomás Antonio de la Cerda y Aragón. She wanted to create the perfect dish, trying to blend the ingredients of the New World with those of the old.

Answer 3

Mole poblano, whose name comes from the Mexican state of Puebla, is a popular sauce in Mexican cuisine. Mole poblano is prepared with dried chile peppers (commonly ancho, pasilla, mulato and chipotle), nuts, spices, Mexican chocolate (cacao ground with sugar, cinnamon, and sometimes nuts), salt, and a variety of other ingredients including charred avocado leaves. Various stories exist about its invention, but none are generally accepted
