Good to know

I don't know if you saw this article in the Post today about the horrific murders in Mexico by members of a drug cartel, but I'd like to bring the following paragraph to your attention:

The sour-faced mug shot of Santiago Meza López, 45, made the front pages Saturday and again on Monday, as federal agents presented new details about "El Pozolero." A pozole is a traditional Mexican stew made of hominy, pork and chilies. It is important to keep stirring the soup while it is on the stove.
(emphasis mine)

I read and re-read the article trying to figure out if there was any reason why this cooking tip was included. I couldn't find one.

But, remember, folks, when you're dissolving corpses in a stew, you have to keep stirring! Don't let those bodies settle!

Obviously, if the bodies settle, that means they won't dissolve, which means trace evidence will be left in the stew.

I feel like the Mexican Drug Cartel watched Fried Green Tomatoes and was like "excellent idea southern folk!"

I think it was an important part of the recipe, but should have been placed farther down in the article where they spell out the number of liters of water etc. that are required.
