Her: "Mole is the most traditional of Mexico dishes...and there are many kinds of mole. This is the recipe of my family."

"You can never have a green mole because mole is always made with chilis and tomato."

"Don't be rude to the peppers when you are cleaning them because if the seeds come out of the pepper you will cough for sure."

"Mole is only served with chicken, turkey and pork. Never with beef or seafood, so don't try it."

Mom: "I've seen it with potatoes and some kind of green..."

Her: "Yes, it can be with potatoes, but that's all."

Me: "It's tastes completely different after adding the tortilla..."

Her: "Yes...we never in Mexico thicken the salsa with flour. We use tortillas, nuts and other things to make thick the salsa."

Me: "Que sabroso."

Her: "Gracias."
