Ancient MAYAN FOOD - Jungle Cooking in MAYA VILLAGE in Quintana Roo, Mexico!

My favorite part of this Mayan food experience was cooking and eating the beans with the lava hot rock. That level of "bean umami" was a first for me. Thank you for watching and hope you're having a great day!

[@amyrivers9792]

Mark I have to say a big thank you to you, Ying and Micah. If it wasn't for you all travelling to different countries and showing us each countries traditions especially food then I would miss out on seeing the world. Even if I could travel it would be highly unlikely that the opportunity to go to the places you do like small local restaurants, people's homes and some of the smaller villages. You have taught me over and over again that food is what brings everyone together whether we speak the same language or not. We all have to eat and sharing a table with the people from the country you are visiting can be an incredible experience. The drone footage is this video gave us a great view of the area and I really appreciate you taking the time to film it and integrate it into the video. Your relaxed attitude makes your videos a delight to watch. You seem to instinctively know what your audience likes to see. Thank you so much. Xx

So interesting! In Jamaica we use anatto in our cooking also and we do the same tomale but we call it 'tie-a-leaf'. So cool how the Taino Indians left their culture in our cooking. Our jerk style of cooking meat is influenced by them too. Authentic jerk is cooked on smoldering pimento logs and covered by more branches of the pimento tree.

[@marcmckenzie5110]

Your work is really breaking out, and its a delight to watch. I loved the confidence you started this episode with, and your off-line research and leg work really showed. This was food at what I consider the pinnacle, and as many viewers have shared analogous experiences this is how you really immerse yourself in a culture and transform from the experience. I bet when you had completed the day, one of the things you walked away knowing in your heart is that the Mayan culture is not dead - it has simply evolved as has all the world. What a gift to the rest of us to share with your wife, your friends and the children a wonderful day!

Fun fact! Naranja or sour orange is the original orange used throughout Asia, Europe and the middle East. The sweet orange, which is what we call orange these days is a hybrid between sour oranges and Mandarin oranges that the Chinese developed. Sour orange is still used in Hispanic America for juice and marmalade.

I'm so excited you went to Yucatan! My parents are originally from there and I've grown up eating most of those dishes here in the states. Makes me glad to see how you enjoyed the food. They are right when they say the hoja santa is very traditional...the lady said the elders mainly eat it. My mom watching over my shoulder didn't know what it was! The pib style cooking is something my parents sorely miss while in the US. It's not often that can be done in the area where we live. Roast chicken is done in the pib too. The onions are something you see very often in yucatec cuisine. They are marinated in lime juice or the sour orange you had at first. The "cupcake" tamale you had I've not seen that small before. More often I've seen it made larger and sliced like a pizza. Also, they have a version in which they place a whole habanero or two in the center so it perfumes the whole thing and makes it spicy. You would've liked that! At least they gave you the pounded habanero. There is some in my kitchen now haha. Wow, so much to comment on. Thanks for visiting!

Mark Weins is my favourite food channel. Amazing guy with a beautiful family.

[@brencen9209]

Oooh this video brought back so many memories of my mom, aunts and uncles cooking at my grandparent's house in Tixpehual, Yucatan. Thank you for sharing our beautiful culture to the world. This is the real thing. My grandpa would cook small green pumpkins in the pib oven...they came out oozing with caramelized sugar! 😋

[@squallymaelstrom5130]

Always explain what makes it unique, make it recogziable. Flavour? Memory? What turn others on? Food is a language, express it.

[@NicholasSteMarie]

Squally Maelstrom people have different ways of expressing. Respect that

[@zeropoint458]

You are so lucky to get to eat with them. I am in Yucatan and all the myan food I have tried this far is delicious.

[@brudajj316]

People interviewing an American living in Mexico: "Sooooo... Why did you move to Mexico" American Guy: *"Honestly... Just to eat"*

[@Angie-et5gq]

Understandable tbh. I’m Mexican and the food is one of the things I’m most proud of from my country.

you are amazing person! I love Mexico as well, you are Very honest and refreshing to watch you eat all that wonderful food of the world,but Mexico is my favorite

[@yavifhcav7233]

the effort you put into your videos is impressive, the quality and affection with which you document the cuisine of other countries is simply admirable, and incredible how some people from our own country are unaware of things like this, Mexican cuisine is delicious, every state It has its gastronomy, it was only Yucatan!!! It is incredible to think about the variety of gastronomy that we have in our country.

[@ladystar_6615]

I love your experience on going to Mexico & eating all these amazing varieties of food. I'd love to do this fantastic voyage someday! I'm so happy to see how your so very generous and very inviting to these wonderful people. This culture really has my curiosity & it eases me to know how places like the ones like this one & all the other places you visited in Mexico are so very welcoming. Thank you for making these great videos! I never miss a chance to see them! Bless you & your little family 😊

This is my first time to see Mayan food, Its very interesting. Thanks Mark!

[@vicenteestocapio7299]

Thanks Mark for educating us with different cuisine n culture of Mayan in Yucatan Mexico. Thanks Vic Winnipeg Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦

[@tspoon3012]

I am kind of amazed at this, and proud that my Navajo culture shares cooking styles with the ancient Mayans! We also utilize the underground oven, for Kneel Down Bread and Navajo cake. The Kneel Down Bread is made of fresh ground corn wrapped inside of a corn husk and baked in the underground oven. Then the Navajo cake, is made with a dried ground corn flour consistency mixed with hot water, and a paste(corn flour mixture & human saliva). There is a layer of corn husks on the bottom of the oven and the corn mixture is poured in, while layering all sides and the top with corn husks. It is then covered with dirt and a built fire goes right on top of it. It cooks from dusk to dawn. They're both so good. The human saliva part is kind of unusual for an outsider, but normal if you're one of us.

[@ebertoledano5570]

That is amazing, do you think that the mayans could have migrated to the north or vice versa? There's alot of similar attributes in culture and mythology between north american natives and mesoamericans.

[@longhairdontcare187]

Polynesians , Native Americans and Mayans all cook this way its pretty cool to see that our cultures are very closely related.

[@arlenebrown5460]

Being Dine (navajo) myself, remember their were no borders back then when native tribes all traded with each other. That being why there are similarities between peoples today. My thanks to Mark for sharing his experiences of various cultures.

[@hicktownguy2]

the way the Mayans cook their food in the earth is the same way the ancient Maoris of new zealand and other poloynesian island countries cooked their food, just wondering if theres any ancestry connection with both people..... interesting

[@deepblue3682]

STAUNCH NZ ,both came from east Asia,15k years before..!!..

[@sakesama1]

Actually there is a connection, long ago a tribe of Ancient Mexicans That had a King were being chased and slaughtered by another tribe, I cannot remember the name, but anyway when they finally hit the pacific ocean side of Mexico they came upon a Coastal Village that had big fishing Outrigger canoe's, the King asked the people for help as the enemy would soon be there,.The whole village decided to go with the King, as they were in danger too, so they quickly packed up their belongings & Supplies, all got on the many boats and together they sailed off in the direction of what is known as the Tahitian Islands , it is said once they found the Tahitian Islands, they settled, made repairs, restocked supplies some stayed but a small group sailed off and landed in New Zealand and became the Maori's. It is also said that the Maoris would go back and forth and visit their kin in Tahiti. The Ocean was their high way ! AS they traveled the sea they learned of Islands that had fresh water, some islands they would drop off a few pigs and leave them, to provide food on the next trip and while they were traveling they would fish, so they had plenty to eat, all the Big ships had a Fire cooking pit on them made out of Mud, sand and Rocks, Pretty amazing !

well Mayans are 1 of the oldest civilizations on earth, 1 of only three civilizations to invent zero not copy , and Mexico has the first compass on earth then Asia , the Mexican pyramids are older and far more complex than even the giza pyramids that are broken, we have the most advance calendar on the earth even the syrians do not

Jim J. It’s funny once u in Mexico u wanna see some action or cars full of gun men I spend a year an I never saw cartel people whit their guns, it’s bullshit I thinks chicago New York or Los Angeles is worst than mexico, but Americans are a bunch of pussys what else can u spect people whit no respect

[@thecreator-affltedthebrnd7071]

Juan: its not bullshit its the fact Mexico is dangerous I should know I was there on the land of cartels they are everywhere there maybe the reason why you havent seen them cause they dress like civilians not guns showing its hidden cmon now.

Jim, Javier is right, and Mexico receives 40 million international tourist a year, is now #6 most visited country in the world, has just passed the UK and Germany, so please stop your BS
