| feral trade mole negro |
| Mole made by Rosalba Ramos from over 30 ingredients, the known ones are chocolate from Chiapas, almonds, peanuts, bread, chiles, olive oil - only her family knows the full recipe. All ingredients soured through a dense network of friends and contacts, the tradition of mole making speculatively is at least as much about maintaining these relationships than the food itself. Sold from the front room of Rosabla's home in Oaxaca, she doesn't make a huge amount so you need to order a week or so in advance. Used as a base for savoury dishes or just eat it on bread.
ferally traded since: 22/11/12.

| | Courier Report FER-1714 DISPATCHED: 22/11/12 DELIVERED: 30/11/12 kate rich After 4 days of attempts my fixer vlax finally got in touch with the mole woman & phoned to see if we could meet that evening in 30 minutes, she was leaving town early in the AM. Walked to meet vlax downtown at cafe neuva babel, from where we caught a cab many blocks outside the city centre. Convened on 2 seats in the front room of the mole woman Rosalba Ramos's house where Rosalbo who vlax has known for years via a social connection brought mole tasters on spoons. I went for 2x 250g each of the negro and colorodito as representing the 2 ends of the oaxaca mole spectrum. Moles weighed & packed backstage in doublebags, vlax & I then caught the bus back into town, where the mole was stored at my guesthouse. 26/11 departed oaxaca early via bus to puebla and cholula, a feral trade route reported extensively in shipments FER-1715, 1716, 1712, 1710 and 1719. Mexico city the mole was repacked between 2 sandals for more integrity, and being a paste placed in checked luggage the giant sugar bag where it also could act as padding for the more fragile items travelling in glass.
Sugar bag flew back to london via new jersey with minimal mishandling, bus to bristol where the mole was unpacked intact and stored onthe top shelf of my fridge. |
