- It might be something as mundane as a taco containing chicken
- mole or something. (Which,by the way, you wouldn't know even
- contained chocolate, unless you asked.)
-
- Of course, there IS my perverse dessert, which I found in a
- Victorian cookbook: chocolate tamales. Before you completely
- freak, let me describe them: the tamale itself made of is lightly
- sweetened white corn meal dough with just a dab of cinnamon, and the
- tamale filling is chocolate egg custard with chocolate chips mixed
- in, which get all nice and runny when the thing is cooked.
- Wrap it in corn husks, steam, and you have a very yummy warm
- dessert. (Hmm, does it qualify as a recipe for the callahans
- cookbook?)
