Spoilers... The Secret Ingredient!

Warning: Spoilers
Spoilers for a ten- minute recipe on cooking Puerco Pibil? Okay, there is one. But can this be called a "spoiler" when vital information is shared which can make one's attempt of cooking Puerco Pibil authentic? This was one bug I extracted (not a tequila worm, though) with the 10- minute recipe, but I can probably explain below about the reason for the lack of full disclosure.

Director Robert Rodriguez talks about using the finest tequila one can find, however, he never told us what fine tequila HE uses. So I googled. And googled a lot. Many shots later (no, I really don't drink), after searching for "black bottle" and "gold," and "finest tequila," I popped into an opinions site and found what I think is the brand of tequila Rodriguez loves to cook with and serve. Check out Casa Noble Anejo, as I, a fan of excellent food, will actually purchase a bottle to use as an ingredient. After reading the accolades for what they claim is this fine drink, I have to find a bottle (the gold decoration is actual gold).

The coolest short film I have ever seen on a DVD, one in which I'm ready to shell out $100 for tequila that I've never tried. The way Rodriguez describes how one should learn several dishes and create one's own spin to perfect one's special dishes makes me feel invigorated to step back into the kitchen. When a short film on a DVD can become inspirational, it's perfect.

Now, for the bug: I wonder, why had Rodriguez failed to tell us what tequila he uses? I think it's all about marketing or persnickety lawyers, really. No information about the type of HDTV cameras, the computers, or any other name- dropping was used. Perhaps it was the producers of the DVD who didn't, or couldn't, share names. My guess would be just that.
