Dinner at "El Cardenal"
After watching the "Alebrije Parade" on Saturday afternoon, Alejandro and I walked a short distance to historic Plaza Tolsá.
Facing the plaza is a branch of our favorite restaurant chain in Mexico City, "El Cardenal". I have written about "El Cardenal" numerous times on this blog. Whenever we are downtown, we make it a point to eat either at the Plaza Tolsá restaurant or at the original location which is a few blocks away near the Zócalo.
Alejandro ordered a dish which I had never heard of... "mole de cadera".
This stew-like dish is made from the meat of the "cadera" (hip) of a goat. The goats that are raised especially for this dish are not allowed to drink water. This supposedly gives the meat a distinctive flavor... but it sounds like animal cruelty to me! I have never eaten goat before. I had a taste of his dish, and I did not care for it. Alejandro, however, said that it was delicious.
I had something less adventurous, chicken breast stuffed with spinach and covered in a goat cheese sauce. It was very good.
I may not care for goat's hip, but I do like goat cheese. I assume that the goats that are milked are raised under more humane conditions.
For dessert I had my favorite dessert there... crepes filled with cheese and covered with mango and blackberry sauces. I also had "café de olla"... coffee flavored with cinnamon and "piloncillo" (a type of brown sugar) and served in a earthenware mug.
By the time that we had finished our dinner, a group of drummers and dancers had come to plaza to perform pre-Hispanic dances.
