Bread pudding seems mushier than capirotada. Or maybe
it's just my mother-in-law's bread pudding. :)
Joseph:
By now you will have received many recipes for "capirotada", the lenten
dish. Each family has its own version but basically it is a bread
pudding as Emilie described. One Lent I introduced it to our mostly non
Hispanic office. It quickly lost its lenten character and now is requested as a
dessert whenever we have a pot luck gathering or fundraiser. Capirotada by
any other name takes just as good. What a wonderful group!! From
capirotada to DNA with gusto.
Mary Garana Allen PS. I am sending you the
Garana version by mail.

Joseph,
If you can read recipes in a book and follow them, you could make
"capirotada" yourself. When I went to New Orleans and to League City TX,
they served something called "bread pudding" that was just like my
mother's capirotada. My mother was from New Mexico, where the Anglos'
southern style cooking was an influence along with everything else. My
mother used to tear up pieces of bread and toast them then made a simple syrup
and layered the toasted bread with grated cheddar cheese and raisins and then
pour the hot syrup over it and let it sit awhile. If you look up a
recipe for Southern-style bread pudding, you could make yourself some
capirotada. There are so many versions of it. I really liked the
one in the South with bourbon sauce in it--yum! Don't any of the
restaurants in your area serve bread puddings?

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.
