Okay here it is.
Â
Since this falls on the first weekend of the new year...
 New Year New Food Throwdown
Â
Cook a "known" dish you have NEVER cooked before. Anything goes! This is your chance to try to cook some of those dishes you have seen on the forum and drooled over. Like puerco pibil, beef rendang, mole, jerk, gumbo, but have never cooked before! Be honest! This is a new year, try new things. Take the challenge!
 A "known" dish is a composed dish that is known to an area, region, or people. It may be popular or obscure as long as it has history.
Â
That being said I would like to see hogleg try mole in your kitchen. And no helping!
Â
Â
And hogleg, you are not allowed to make tacos!
Â
Wait, what the hell just happened!?! What did you get me into SCOVIE! I'm over here shitting my pants about a plane flight, minding my own bidness. And now I'm gettin' called out in the green on the TD!?!?!?!?!?!? WTF!!!

Pastel de choclo. A friggin amazing dish from South America, if you do it right, you won't believe the flavor. No joke.
