Agave tequilana - The blue Agave

Long Long ago.. the inhabitants of Mexico venerated the Agave for the numerous bounties it provided them.The agave represented the Nahuatl goddess Mayahuel, goddess of fertility with 400 breasts that allowed her to feed her 400 sons; reason for which the plant was believed to possess special powers.the Mexicanos used the plant in different ways:
From its leaves they obtained fiber to weave different types of materials, Its spines were used as needles. From its center they obtained juices or syrups for nourishment;
And from the fermentation of such syrups and juices they obtained a mystic drink that allowed them to enter in to the wonderful world.

The name is pulque, a fermented agave plant sap, Which was soo awesome ,Sr Jose Antonio Cuervo, who distilled the Agave around eighteen hundreds to make a great drink and the rest is history, There are around one hundred and thirty six species of agaves in mexico, but the Weber Blue Agave is the one which is used to make the Proud drink of Mexico, Tequila. and by rule it should be from the Jalisco region(Tequila City), like the Champagne region of France

The reason I post this is, that my fiend who was tested H1N1, positive,said that he had Tequila in ECR, mahabalipuram, the day before. Reason number two - My cousin came home the same night with two bottles of tequila, requesting me to keep it safe until he returns. (as if it is safe with me). A surprise from my friend in pondicherry brought a Bottle of Tequila in my shelf, which I drank and Drank and Drank .. . . . . .......

Time goes as I invite people for a tot of tequila, and the quantity keeps reducing and reducing.. my mind went blank, when the bottle were empty, Thanks to ron- The Great bar Tender who took me for a drink, to Flames (Bar)Coimbatore, started with four large and ended with two shots of tequila, Ahh a day to remember....Of all the drinks, I enjoyed Tequila the most, not because you lick the salt , drink the drink and suck the lime, Its a real drink... I mean its a liquid Fire... But to have it with a Real Bartender is really wonderful
