Yes, this sauce sports the name of our summer town. The connection was a mystery I needed to solve. No, the hot sauce is not made here. The bottle of this delicious sauce does declare that it is ¨Made in Mexico¨, and Wikipedia tells you that it´s named after the histric town of Cholula in which we reside. This name comes from the Nahuatl word Chollulaan, which means, appropriatley, something like ¨place of retreat¨. A couple blocks from our apartment is a giant pyramid wider than any on Earth. And also, Incredibly, this town has the longest continuous inhabitation of the Americas. People have been living here for at least 25 centuries. That´s why it feels so, um, old. The sauce, however, is made somewhere in Jalisco which is a few hours away.
