Hominy soup that turns pig into pageantry, one Saturday at a time.

means A traditional Mexican soup or stew made from hominy (dried corn treated with lime) simmered with meat — usually pork or chicken — and topped with a confetti of radish, cabbage, lime, and chile.

from From Mexican Spanish pozole, tracing back to Nahuatl pozolli, meaning 'foamy' or 'frothy' — a nod to the way the corn kernels puff and bubble open as they cook. The Nahuatl root pozoni- means 'to boil' or 'to froth,' so the name itself is a little kitchen stage direction: watch the pot foam.
