I recently saw this movie but I missed the  significance of the title. I
understand that it is a partial quote of a  Mexican proverb. Does  anybody
happen to know the whole proverb?  Thanks.

I don't know what Fred Shapiro has for this Mexican/chocolate proverb. It was
 the title of a 1993 movie.

Some other expressions, for most of which there are English analogues, are
_"Comiste gallo?"_ (Did you eat a fighting cock?) and _"como agua para
chocolate"_ (like water for chocolate, which is hot). The first is a clever way  of
asking, "Are you angry?" and corresponds loosely to our saying, "He must have
got up on the wrong side of the bed." The other expression is applied to one
who  is angry.
