Chiles rellenos

May 29, 2015 by Mary

Traditionally, the chile relleno is made with a poblano pepper stuffed with cheese or beef, battered with egg, fried, and served with a simple fresh tomato salsa. As poblano peppers can be a little hard to come by on this side of the world, I have a version I make with long green capsicums (rather…

Cheese quesadillas

April 26, 2015 by Mary

One of the mainstays of Mexico’s street-side stands, quesadillas are considered quintessential Mexican.

Richie's Cal-Mex Foods
April 10 is the anniversary of the infamous Great April 10 is the anniversary of the infamous Great Tamale Incident involving America’s 38th President Gerald Ford!
If you’ve eaten a tamale, it may be obvious you remove the husk before eating. Not  to President Ford.
On April 10 1976, Ford was campaigning for re-election, hungry and touring the Alamo in San Antonio Texas. Lucky for him there was a plate of tamales at the event. Ford made the fateful decision to eat the tamale husk and all, choking a little as he swallowed.
The incident, caught by the media, went viral, creating the Great Tamale Incident of 1976. Ford ended up losing his bid for president to Jimmy Carter. Some say the election was lost because of a tamale. Never underestimate the power of food.
