Episode 1102: A Tour of Traditions, Rick Bayless "Mexico One Plate at a Time"

[@JohnnyC10071959]

I love Mexican markets. A couple of weeks ago, I was in Ajijic, JAL (my Mexican friends call it GringoLand) and went to the weekly farmers market - WOW, so much fresh fruit & Veg and, of course, low prices. I love Mexico, its food, its people, everything.

[@virginiaf.5764]

Yes, produce is so much cheaper and fresher at the market I go to, and they carry things my supermarket doesn't, like mini tomatillos. Meats and shrimps have great prices, too. But a lot of their pantry items are priced way higher than supermarkets. Like beans and such. Even some of the spices are a better deal buying in bulk, which is what I do.

[@shotsfired2188]

Goodness gracious that 2nd dish she made the corn tortilla with bean made me wanna lick my phone. GREAT VIDEO!! ❤️

[@chilepeulla]

That one looked absolutely fantastic. You know the texture contrasts and flavor choices were spot on

Señoras de la vieja escuela el mejor sazón de la comida mexicana. 👍👍

[@toolrammsteindeftones]

I've been watching Rick way back to PBS show but just recently started cooking with these KZbin videos and I realize I'm damn good. Thank you Rick. Cochinita probably one of my top three Mexican dishes.

[@creativitybycarilyn6634]

Love the music played in the videos. Makes me feel like I'm on vacation. The food all looks so delicious!!!

[@Emmanueldm]

I’m so thankful for being born and raised in Yucatan, that’s like a country apart from Mexico itself 🥰💖

[@ClarionMumbler]

The advice about how to prep the habanero pepper depending on your heart preference is the perfect hack for my parents who are quite heat adverse. I will definitely make sure to mention it to them! Thanks

[@EllaTravels1986]

Amazing video of Yucatan traditional cooks. Thanks for sharing!

[@zTheBigFishz]

The best cooking series on YT.

[@EvilFish76]

[@cian8174]

Nice video!

[@Mr.Avuncular]

Amazing dishes and also the beautiful vegetables that were at the market!❤

[@EduardoMedinaP]

Cochinita pibil tacos are arguably the best kind of tacos in México.

[@nexrace]

I cant watch this stuff, lol. I immediately start looking at plane tickets! 😁

[@ellenspn]

My major professor in grad school did most his research in Yucatán. Wish I had been willing to do fieldwork there.

[@xochitlreyes8916]

Se ve muy rico, ya me inspiro a preparar cochinita aqui en mi casa en Houston, TX

Mexican food is underrated

[@jj-bp3fr]

Mexican food was the 1st recognized in the world as an UNESCO world heritage, 2010, by the U.N. UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recognized it for its antiquity, history, and identity. Many countries don't meet those characteristics. Another reason it is recognized by UNESCO is due to its milenary ingredients, corn, chile, beans, they've survived the conquest, and are base ingredients used for cooking, so it uses ingredients native to mexico. The recognition is meant to preserve the ingredients and techniques for cooking it. Only few cuisines meet that criteria, later the French, Mediterranean, and Japanese cuisines were recognized. So yes, mexican food has world recognition.

Hey Rick, you could have added the extra water for the pumpkin seed puree to what was left in the blender. That way you thin it and clean the goodies out of the blender at the same time. ENJOY!

[@lindacoffin5110]

Thank You Chief!

[@bamboosho0t]

Better watch than Rick’s brother, Skip. 😎 And now I’m hungry!

[@L.Spencer]

The first part of the panucho, splitting the tortilla and putting the beans inside, that was how they made gorditas in Cd Mante. The pig being cooked in the ground, at first glance I thought they were making something like a zacahuil, kind of like a giant tamale, the size of a pig or so.

[@alexmc6568]

Always a winner….

What is the difference between salsa rojo and salsa roja??

[@mitchyoung93]

Shouldn't that be salsa rojx now?

[@meatgravylard]

Salsa rojo doesn't exist but salsa roja does. That minor difference is all there is to it.

Mexico seems nice why dp so many Mexicans head north?

[@alinadc]

Mexico might be rich culturally speaking but the work opportunities and the benefits are not as good as the USA

[@L.Spencer]

Many reasons, but they often work hard for low pay and things like going to a university are out of reach for a lot of people, partly because loans for tuition, cars, houses are hard to get and too expensive. A lot of people don't have cars, if they have a house or a piece of property, they often build their houses little by little over the years. Many people go to the US, work a few years, go back to Mexico with a car and money to make their house, or were sending money to make their house. There's a lot of unfinished houses down there, too.

[@goldenstate66]

In November 2022, a majority of the migrants encountered at the U.S. Mexico border were from countries other than Mexico and the Northern Triangle. Some of the biggest increases in encounters have involved people from Colombia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Peru and Venezuela.

[@adrianaangelcoria1248]

Not enough jobs.

[@mitchyoung93]

@@goldenstate66 Yes I understand that. Still there has been massive and polity transforming migration from Mexico n the last three decades.

What’s the point of roasting the tomatoes if you pull off all the roasted skin? None!

[@robertkennedy8503]

When I go to Mexico I gorge myself in fresh fruit, there are some types of fruit in Mexico we don't even know in the US, I almost feel bad for people in the US, the fruit we get in US markets taste nothing like fruit in Mexico, you wouldn't believe how good and how big the difference is unless you tried it yourself.
