I think Chef Mehta will win.

Again, the TVFN is searching for the ethnic angle...

LOLOLOLOL,

I just busted Tyler Florence.

(I do have a love/hate relationship with this channel.)

TF was making turkey mole (moh-Leh) - turkey cooked in a chocolate/cinnamon sauce.

Ewwww.......I have never cared for anything sweet with meat. I don't like it.

Anyway, TF starts with "mexcan cinnamon"-they look like regular cinnamon sticks to me, then he breaks out the "Oaxaca Chocolate".

"Chocolate from Oaxaca"- he says..

(Oaxaca is a state in Mexico!)

DUDE!

He pulls it out of plastic wrap and I see that it's a mexican style of chocolate
called "La Abuelita"-The Granny/Grandmother.

It comes in wheels that have the name stamped on them - Nestle' is the company that mass produces the chocolate for the Mexican market.

Now, people will think that TF is cooking with a 'real mex' chocolate, and in a sense he is....But, you can get the same stuff all over Mexico and in your local Mex restaurant.

That's the kind of tom foolery that makes me laugh and dislike some of the programs and hosts on TVFN.

Yeah, I understand the idea of wanting to make a dish that is true to the original, but when they try and pass off regular ingredients as original?
