I've never found molasses here, but you can duplicate it for use as an ingredient by dissolving the right amount of piloncillo in hot water and letting it cool. (Unfortunately I can never remember the right proportions.)

If you find it at the feed store, what do you ask for? �melaza? or does it have another name?

Melaza or sometimes melote

Beware though it might only come in 5 gallon buckets! In my town there is a feed store in just about every colonia, but they don't all have all the same things, nor do they have it all the time. Next time you city dewlers are out in Amecameca or someplace like that I'm sure you can find one if you just keep your eyes peeled for the Purina checkerboard. I find it's best not to tell them that the molasses is for cookies rather than fattening up a suckling pig!

Rabbits of course go for the making of Conejo al adobo .

Those who shop at Comercial Mexicana may have noticed their occasional promotions celebrating merchandise from one or another country. It's Thai time now, and I was thrilled and awed by the quantity and variety of Thai food and snacks at this one. It really out-does all the Comercial's previous foreign food festivals. (Never having been to Thailand) I've never seen so much Thai food in one place before, not even in Canada. There are also clothes and decor items, but the food is really the star of the promotion.

Fans of Japanese snacks will also find something to please, as there are Thai versions of a number of Japanese-style snacks. Green pea sticks, Pocky...

Just bought this 1 month ago in Guadalajara. If you want to have the address where I bought it just let me know. Have to ask my wife where it was.

BTW, as we can't get Marmite, I suppose there's NO chance of Twiglets?
MMMMMMMMMMM!

For those who don't know, check out the Mr. Bean episode, where he's preparing for a party, cuts twigs from the tree outside the kitchen window and dips them in Marmite. That's more or less Twiglets.
