Mexican Peanut Butter
. Check this out. One of the food items we received on Purim: Mexican Peanut Butter!
Well I've never tasted or even heard of such a thing before, but I guess there's a first time for that!

Hi Miriam! This looks very interesting. Yes, I've heard of and seen Mexican peanut butter and jelly too actually. I discovered in when for a short time we lived in one Chicago's most well-known Mexican neighborhoods. Now, we actually live once again in a Eastern European (Polish) area where I have seen all sorts of Polish foods (bread, cheese, meat, jams, sauces, soups, and so on). I've never tried the peanut butter, but have tried the jelly. It wasn't bad, but it was different that what I am accustomed to eating because of the unique flavors (guava and things like that). My husband tried the peanut butter though and liked it. If you give it a try, please let us know how you like it. I am glad you and your family had a very nice Purim! Everything in your pictures looked really yummy...except for the beer! ;)
In Spanish, peanuts are called Cacahuates (ka-ka-WHA-tays). Dishes in which meats are cooked in a peanut based sause, are called Encacahuatado, as in Pollo Encacahuatado (in-ka-ka-wa-TAH-do). It's just so much fun to say.

That looks nice Miriam!
Miriam, I suspect that after the peanut scare here in the states, we're going to be eating a lot of Mexican peanut butter.
I wonder how you say peanut butter in Spanish?
ChelB - I miss you, so much, ChelB!
Though, I 'm not usually the taste adventurer, I'm sure my husband will try some. If he likes it, then I'll try some. lol.
Felicity - Thanks! I have never ever seen such a thing. Add a bit of spice and things are instantly Mexican. ha.
Black Diaspora - Peanut Buttero, of course!
I just tried it and it's pretty yummy!

You got a chuckle out of me! That was too funny.
