Mole (pronounced "moh-lay") is a special, super-tasty Mexican sauce that's a big deal in Mexico! It's not just one sauce; it's a family of rich, complex sauces that can be sweet, smoky, or spicy. What is Mole? It's a "Mix": The word "mole" comes from the Aztec word mōlli, which just means "sauce". It's made by mixing lots of different ingredients together. Lots of Ingredients: An authentic mole recipe can have over 20 or 30 ingredients, including dried chili peppers, nuts, seeds, fruits, and spices like cinnamon and cumin. Not Always Spicy: Even though chilis are a key ingredient, the sauce isn't usually super-hot. The chilis are often toasted and soaked to bring out flavor, not just heat, and other ingredients balance the spice. More than Chocolate: The most famous type has a little bit of chocolate in it, which makes it rich and dark, not sweet like a dessert sauce. But many other moles don't use chocolate at all! They can be green, yellow, or red, depending on what's in them.

¡Hola! Soy Miguel Rivera. En mi familia, la comida es muy importante, especialmente durante el Día de los Muertos. A mi familia le encanta cocinar platos tradicionales de México. El plato favorito de mi abuela Elena son los tamales porque son deliciosos. Mi mamá prefiere el pan dulce y el chocolate caliente. A mi primo Abel le gusta mucho el maíz con queso y chile porque es un poco picante. Sin embargo, a mí no me gusta el pescado; ¡me parece asqueroso! En nuestra ofrenda, ponemos las comidas favoritas de nuestros antepasados. A mi tía Rosita le gustaba el mole porque es una salsa muy rica.

¡Hola! Soy Miguel Rivera. En mi familia, la comida es muy importante, especialmente durante el Día de los Muertos. A mi familia le encanta cocinar platos tradicionales de México. A mi Abuelita Elena le encanta cocinar. Su plato favorito son los tamales. Ella piensa que los tamales son deliciosos y muy nutritivos. Siempre me dice: "¡Come más, mijo! Estás muy flaco". A mí me gustan mucho los tamales porque son sabrosos, pero a veces no quiero comer diez tamales en una tarde. Mi mamá prefiere el pan dulce y el chocolate caliente. Ella dice que el chocolate es dulce y perfecto para el desayuno. A mi primo Abel le gusta mucho el maíz con queso y chile porque es un poco picante y muy crujiente. Sin embargo, no a todos nos gusta lo mismo. Por ejemplo, a mí no me gusta el pescado; ¡me parece asqueroso! Mi bisabuela, Mamá Coco, ya casi no habla, pero sé que le gustan mucho las clementinas frescas porque son jugosas y fáciles de comer. En nuestra ofrenda, ponemos las comidas favoritas de nuestros antepasados. A mi tía Rosita le gustaba el mole porque es una salsa muy compleja y rica.

1. What is Abuelita Elena’s favourite thing to cook, and why does she keep telling Miguel to eat more? 2. What does Miguel’s mom like to have for breakfast, and how does she describe the taste? 3. Why does Miguel's cousin, Abel, like eating maíz? Mention the two specific textures or flavours he enjoys. 4. What is the one food Miguel thinks is "asqueroso" (disgusting)? 5. Why are clementines the perfect snack for Great-Grandmother Mamá Coco? 6. Based on the text, how does the family decide which foods to put on the ofrenda for the Day of the Dead?
