A visit to colonial-style
Puebla, Mexico, during
cinco de mayo finds a
re-enactment of the battle,
fiestas and indigenous
foods such as mole
poblano, a chocolate-chile
sauce poured over turkey
orchicken; chile en nogada,
meat-stuffed poblano
chile peppers covered
with walnut-pomegranate
sauce; and camotes, a
sweet-potato confection.
A good souvenir is a
piece of the lovely local
blue-and-white glazed
pottery called azulejos.
