I am a New Mexican Army Brat, raised and lived over a good part of our wonderful planet. I live in Utah now. I found fresh pisole [hominy] in one of the local Mexican Markets that makes their own corn tortillas…Grinding it up is what they use to make corn tortillas. Of course, they treat the corn in the first place too. I am also fortunate enough to have a daughter in law with a sister who also raises corn and makes hominy from it each year. They live on the Cudi Indian Reservation in New Mexico or near enough to it. I get so homesick for the colors and flavors and sounds of New Mexico! I have had to learn how to make all kinds of Mexican food as well as many other kinds. Love German food too!!! They don’t eat corn in Germany or didn’t in the early 50′s. My mom went to a farmer and insisted he sell her fresh corn…finally he gave her what she wanted muttering about it being only for cows…Wonderful corn! She did teach me how to make do food wise where ever we lived. dhe made her first pizza with fresh sliced tomatoes… What fun food has been! You can always come close to what you want if you try hard enough. The kind of pisole that has tripe is called menudo, usually served on Sat and Sun mornings to help you prevent or get rid of a hangover. The fat absorbes the liquor you ingested and lightens it’s effect. Enjoy! the rule in my house is you have to try everything with at least 3 bites…some things grow on ya…

My coworkers are majority hispanic and when there are pot lucks they would usually bring a big pot of pizole. Theirs is more traditional where they stew pork hocks and add such things as tripe and fatty skin. it is often served with thinly sliced radishes, cabbage and finely diced yellow onion. Good!

Emily – alright, another native New Mexican! Even though I live in Colorado, you cannot get the real stuff here – you MUST cross the border to New Mexico for the authentic (and delicious) fare :) Definitely start converting folks to the “good stuff” :)
