A really odd and interesting tidbit is that back in the 1930s H*tler had a documentary made about pulque titled 'Pulquebereitung in Mexiko' and directed by Hubert Schonger. It is the only footage we have of how pulque was produced in the 1930s.

[@DWTravel]

@linkin20la Thanks for this fact! Schonger was a director at the time of National Socialism, who became known mainly for his propagandistic fairy tale Films - hopefully this did not affect the short Film about the preparation of pulque, which definitely is an interesting historical document.

[@GaiaHedonia]

It is not a wonder that veganism started in USA, the country of Monsanto, monocultures and industrial farming and got spread through the developed countries. Humans have never before lived on a vegan diet. They make use of any food available in the area where they live. Also a diet that needs supplements is not a healthy diet.

[@anamariajimenezgarcia8464]

That all looks good. I thought of going vegan before and bought a book by Alicia Silverstone called "The Kind Diet" on the subject. I've even had doctors suggest I eat more vegetables for my health. It's on my to-do list I suppose. Glad you liked the culture since that's my heritage. I'm sure I'd like polish food and culture. You're a beautiful soul Eva. Thanks for your adventures!

@@martasuyapacruz184 pero una quesadilla prehispánica sería un taco jajaja. sería como decir que un pan ácimo (o pita) es una pizza milenaria sin queso, osea no es una pizza 🤣. Mi comentario es más bien por lo confuso que debe terminar siendo para alguien como Eva que viene llegando a México partiendo desde Reino unido y le dicen que los tacos son modernos y la quesadilla antigua, cuando de aquel lado del mundo la quesadilla solo es un snack con queso (y en muchos de los casos con cheddar), y además cuando el principio detrás de un taco sí es muy antiguo: poner comida en una tortilla. Osea es muy confuso y se necesita mucho lore mexicano para imaginar a qué se refiere y aún así viviendo en México resulta una explicación confusa.

Hola desde Jalisco You are not confused on how that is a tamale? Where is the masa? Even a vegan one could use something other than manteca. That's just shit in a corn husk. jajajaja

[@ocelotl7416]

“We have influences from all over the world that makes up a cuisine with a national identity.” Just like every country in the world but Mexican food is mostly native based. Natives from all over the Americas influenced the world more with it’s food than vice versa. What would Italian food be without the tomato coming out of Mexico? What would the Irish be without the potatoes coming out of Peru? What would a American thanksgiving meal be without native ingredients? Gravy and pie would be the only things left on the table (even then the pie originated from ancient Egypt). I could go on and on.

[@tonyminutti5277]

@@ocelotl7416 you’re talking about ingredients not foods! Chocolate comes from Mexico but the Swiss and Belgians have perfected it! And? Most Mexican cuisine actually comes from various influences that came to Mexico. Of course w corn as the base for central and southern dishes (since wheat is king in the north) the food we see today as “Mexican” is a syncretism from colonial times since we use pork, cow, chicken, lamb and many other ingredients that came from Europe and Asia. I could come up with the same argument if it weren’t for that world trade we wouldn’t have cheese, crema, mangos, rice, pastas, meats, and various cooking styles and techniques (Mexican sweet breads are Viennese and French for example a remnant of the Second Mexican Empire and further French immigration to Mexico). So no…Mexican cuisine is not “native”. Obviously there’s big influences especially the further south you go. We can’t generalize!

[@ocelotl7416]

@@tonyminutti5277 “The Swiss and Belgians have perfected it.” Not really since I have never ever seen or even heard of their chocolate brands. Since the pre-Columbian era, corn, squash, chile peppers, and beans have formed the base of the Mexican diet. Like I said... Mexican food is mostly native based. Pigs, cows, chickens, pasta, cream, cheese, etc, etc... originated from Asia, the same place that the ancestors of Mexico came from. Nice try though.
