### The Art of Preparing Mole Sauce: A Journey into Oaxacan Cuisine

In the heart of La, a traditional Oaxacan restaurant offers a unique culinary experience. The focus is on testing the mythical aphrodisiac powers of *mole*, a rich and complex sauce that has been celebrated for centuries. The Lopez family invites us into their kitchen to witness the art of preparing this beloved dish.

The conversation begins with a discussion about *gusano* (a type of worm) and its aphrodisiac properties, which is said to make one feel "horny" and sweaty. Maria, the family matriarch, shares her expertise in making *mole*, a dish that requires over 20 ingredients, including cinnamon, peanuts, almonds, and chili peppers. The process involves grinding ingredients like roasted chilies and tomatoes, creating a smoky and flavorful base for the sauce.

Maria explains how she starts with a small batch of ground ingredients and gradually builds the *mole* by adding more elements. The mixture is rich and aromatic, resembling a trail mix of nuts and spices. She emphasizes the importance of using fresh, high-quality ingredients to achieve the perfect balance of flavors. As Maria works, her son Gilbert shares stories about the cultural significance of *mezcal*, another Oaxacan delicacy known for its aphrodisiac properties.

### The Cultural Significance of Mezcal

Mezcal is a distilled spirit made from agave plants, and it holds a special place in Oaxacan culture. Maria mentions that *mezcal* is often consumed during meals to enhance the dining experience. She shares a tip for smelling *mezcal*: rub a small amount between your hands and inhale the sweet, smoky scent of the cooked agave.

The discussion turns to the mythology surrounding *mezcal*, including tales of the agave goddess *Maya*. Legend has it that she had 400 breasts and fed her 400 rabbits with her milk, symbolizing the abundance and nurturing nature of the agave plant. This myth reflects the deep connection Oaxacans have with their food and drink, as they believe each batch of *mezcal* carries the spirit of the distillery and the love of its creators.

### The Difference Between Mezcal and Tequila

Maria clarifies the distinction between *mezcal* and tequila. While tequila is primarily produced in Jalisco, *mezcal* can be made in seven different states across Mexico, with Oaxaca being the most prominent. The flavor profile of *mezcal* is smokier and more complex than tequila due to the traditional cooking method: roasting agave hearts in an underground pit with volcanic rocks. This slow-cooking process imparts a unique smoky aroma to the final product.

### A Perfect Pairing: Mole and Mezcal

As Maria finishes preparing the *mole*, Gilbert demonstrates how to make a cocktail that pairs perfectly with the dish. The drink is light and refreshing, designed to complement rather than overpower the flavors of the meal. The rim of the glass is dusted with salt, chili powder, and a dried gusano worm—a nod to the aphrodisiac theme of the evening.

The conversation shifts to the table as the family enjoys their meal. Maria’s chicken, cooked in *mole*, is melt-in-your-mouth tender, while the sauce itself is rich and creamy. The discussion highlights how each ingredient in *mole* tells a story, from the smoky chilies to the sweet agave, reflecting the love and care that go into its preparation.

### Reflections on the Experience

As the meal comes to an end, Maria reflects on the significance of sharing food and drink with loved ones. She notes how this experience has given her a new perspective on the dishes she has eaten in restaurants. By learning about the ingredients and the stories behind them, she feels a deeper connection to the food and its cultural roots.

The evening concludes with a toast to love, family, and the joy of sharing meals. Maria expresses hope that visitors to Oaxaca will have the opportunity to experience this rich culinary tradition for themselves. The conversation ends on a lighthearted note as Gilbert jokes about having a big wedding in Oaxaca one day, much to everyone’s amusement.

### Conclusion

The evening spent with the Lopez family is a testament to the power of food to bring people together and tell stories. From the intricate preparation of *mole* to the cultural significance of *mezcal*, every bite and sip carries a piece of Oaxacan heritage. As Maria says, "When you drink this, you’re drinking the spirit of the distillery, the love of the family, and the story behind everything you’re tasting."

In Oaxaca, food is not just sustenance—it’s a celebration of life, love, and tradition. And with *mole* and *mezcal*, it’s clear that every meal is an opportunity to feel warm, fuzzy, and even a little horny for the beauty of this extraordinary cuisine.
