Unlike here in the States, where Pot Roast is a recurring Sunday meal, in Puerto Rico you've got to beg your mother to make some Carne Mechada. Why that is, I don't know. when she would finally agree to makes it, she expected chores to be done or else no mechada. In fact, the whole neighborhood would promptly be told that your mother is making carne mechada. This of course starts a chain reaction among the other children and fathers into whooing some Carne Mechada from their mom or wives. I just recall that whenever we had it for supper, I felt really special and privileged. Its one of those very tasty and fulfilling dinners that has nothing ordinary about it. I believe the original carne mechada came from Venezuela, but I loved my mom's just fine. Tomorrow you can enjoy this rare treat from our kitchen. To reserve your dinner call 675-2894 or email donmael@gmail.com. Buen Provecho!
