Re: [ranchos] Capirotada

[Alicia Carrillo <alliecar@...>]

Joseph and Emilie,

 

You are invited over for capirotada but you must wait until Lent. Capirotada is a lenten food as it was usually made with day old bread and tortillas and any leftover fruits, nuts and cheeses. It was meant to be penitential, who would have thunk that it would be a much coveted Mexican gourment dessert.

 

My husband is famous for his lenten capirotada, not as in Emeril TV famous but as in San Jose local family famous.

Victor is in Mexico as much as Jose Roman. Donde vives Victor?

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.
