Victor,
 
I thought they called it the "Mestizaje"?  However, that word is not in my Spanish dictionary.  I found "mescladura" and "mezcolanza".  What say you, Jose Roman?  What do they call it in Mexico?
Victor is in Mexico as much as Jose Roman. Donde vives Victor?

Victor can you put a little capirotada in a jar and send it to me?:

I haven't had capirotada in over 20 years and i absolutely love it. My mom didn't make it every year but probably on average of every other year. I used to over indulge. But she did make on the order of 30 dozen tamales every year with us kids sitting around the table spreading the masa (thankfully only when she could capture us). My sisters used to be made to do the whole procedure when they were younger.

ps: do they have Jalisco Capirotada, Zacatecas Capirotada and Aguascalientes Capirotada? Boy I'd love to try all three versions even if they all tasted the same.

Ed,

The Americans talk about the "melting pot";  the Canadians speak about
a "mosaic".  The Italians tutti frutti.

What could we call the Mexican mix?  Capirotada?  Sopa de Letras?
