Foodie friends take note. I had this dish last night... again. It's my all-time (so far) San Miguel favorite. It was apparently featured in the wonderful food movie Like Water For Chocolate -- rent it immediately if you haven't already seen it -- and is considered the national dish of Mexico 'cause it's a green poblano chile stuffed with this amazing mixture of spiced ground beef, nuts and dried fruits (picadillo), covered in a white walnut sauce and topped with red pomegranate seeds, representing all the colors of the national flag. I'll treat you to a plate when you come visit. In the meantime, here's a recipe.
