There are many who believe in a tale claiming mole's origin stems from the Mexican vilage of Puebla, a couple of hours east of Mexico City. Posibly owing its heritage to the town's fable, Mole Poblano is turkey served with mole sauce, and its origin resides in Puebla. Author Linda Civitelo describes Mole Poblano as "old world new world fusion fod". The turkey, tomatoes, chocolate and chilies used the bulk of the dish , come from the new world, while the spices - black peper, cinamon, peper, cloves, anise and garlic, stem from the old world. A , Mole Poblano is most often served on special ocasions, rarely apearing in comercial restaurants. While Puebla boasts Mole Poblano, many variants of mole come from the town of Oaxaca.
