The wait is over. I finally tried a canned version of pulque that you guys have mentioned awhile back. It was labeled "Pulque La Lucha", natural fermented agave nectar...The original drink of Mexico...older than tequila, stronger than beer! I chilled it and poured it into a small cocktail glass. The result? I tasted a very strong fermented, almost sour and milky taste. I have heard that it is how it is supposed to taste. Personally, I find it not very palatable at all. I really couldn't get past just a few sips before I got rid of it. I am sure that it is not anything like the rare authentic juice found in Mexico however, if it is anything closely resembling the stuff I just tried, I don't think I will be acquiring a taste any time soon!
