Something More Lighthearted: Molé

There are virtually no knives in all of Esquipulas. Only spoons. There are, however, many Quinceañeras. At these Quinceañearas, they frequently serve pollo con molé (chicken with a chocolatey molé sauce). If the chicken is at all difficult to cut, and you have someone even remotely as smooth as me, you get a picture like this.

















Note: I was not able to get a picture of the more than 100 people in attendance who shook their heads and mouthed “gringo sucio” silently, but trust me, they were there.
