Ah, I thought
mole sauce was also a part of Brazilian cuisine. I just
looked it up; it is purely Mexican...about as far from you as I am. :)
Ah, you also thinks I speak spanish and the our downtown is buenos
aires? ;oD
I'd love to know why most americans thinks we speak spanish :) Maybe
because for the one that doesn't know portuguese or spanish, the
languages are very alike...
No, I am very proud of the fact that I know a little bit about your
part of the world. :) I dated a Colombian girl for a long time, and she
educated me. I also have some Brazilian friends. :)
I just thought mole sauce was common in much of South America, but
was mistaken. Julia (my Colombian ex-girlfriend) introduced me to it as
something she'd had many times before she moved here.
It is very true, and very sad, that many (most?) Americans think that
anyone who has slightly darker skin and is from ANY country south of the
USA is automatically "Mexican", speaks Spanish, and all eat the same
kind of food. I apologize on their behalf.
