MEXICO!

As a reward for my Semester from Hell, Honey and I went to Acapulco in August. It was a wonderful vacation, but for out purposes I'm focusing on...Epicure's first Pozole!

Ok, so not really my first. Really, my first was about a year ago at my old job when one of the line cooks brought in his wife's chicken pozole. But this was my first pozole in a restaurant, particularly one where I got the experience I expect from Korean food: tons of little side dishes, with pickles, snackes, and (not something I expect with Korean food) salsas.

I didn't know the distinctions between the Pozoles blanco, rojo, y verde, so I asked the server.
"Qual recomindia?"
"Rojo es picante, blanco es no picante, y verde es mas o meno."
I'm not that tough. I went with the verde. And oh, it was good. Soft, chewy nuggets of hominy. Slow-cooked pork, tons of salsas and peppers to make is mas picante, and crunchy fried corn tortillas with cheese on the side.
What more could you want?
