The Art of Mayan Cuisine in the Yucatán: Cook It Raw (Part 1)

[@BarryH90dz]

munchies is opening my eyes to how beautiful mexico is, would love to visit one day.

[@6kchea663]

So what i get from this is that tacos have been around for centuries. Makes me appreciate them even more. Thank you ancient peoples!

[@Sage.777]

My friends family is from Merida, I went with her back in ‘05.. It was so beautiful!! 🌊🌊☀️

[@ginoblee94]

Hey Munchies, you should start covering all Cook It Raw events, that would be a huge hit!

[@cyphcastles]

This was so awesome. I Love having Mexican roots.

[@drraghunath83]

Visited Vallodolid on the way back to Cancun from Chichen Itza in 2016. Such a beautiful small town it is. Would love to do a full tour of Mexico after the Narco situation is resolved.

[@TheOskr01100]

Hubieran usado gente de Mexico para el documental como en el de Oaxaca o el de los Tacos. They could have used mexican people for the documentary just like in the Oaxaca and Tacos ones.

[@PiaTheNumberPi]

No pos le pides perlas a la virgen!! No vez que la intención es clara? El gringo trama bolsear el conocimiento gastronómico de Mexico para llamarlo propio en sus "restaurantillos quesque muy picudos". Aquí están enseñando dónde entrenan a los que llaman "Chef profesionales" para llevarlos al extranjero e impresionar cobrando oro, tratar de "imitar" la técnica ancestral Mexa y premiarla como extranjera e innovadora (nada tendrá que ver con México) Son largos como la cuaresma. Pero tiempo les falta para aprender lo que tenemos en nuestra tierra y cultura. Suerte Oscar!

[@cristinamarierosado10]

I agree ! 💯

[@ronanthebadbrain]

100%

[@nekko_369]

Dear VICE team, we need more video series like these, MORE PLEASE!

[@Munchies]

***** and the _Cook It Raw_ team travels to the Yucatán to learn more about the art of ancient Mayan cooking, a cuisine using local ingredients and simple techniques that have survived and evolved for thousands of years. #Munchies #Vice #CookItRaw Watch Part 2 now: munchies.vice.com/videos/milpa-farming-in-the-yucatan-cook-it-raw-part-2/

[@ylzanilsor5637]

The beginning of the vid, the other guy keep saying "yeah yeah yeah"

[@MrDosmiles]

Wow! There are a lot of places that I have never been in Mexico, and now I'm living in Spain I would like visit them. Thanks Munchies for this!

[@OVRDSE]

If you never been to the Riviera Maya (Tulum, Playa del Carmen) I recommend it. My friends and I Just came from there on January and we already planning our trip again to go this coming January. I highly recommend to stay away from the fancy restaurants if you want to experience a meal like this. Some of the women in the video run their little restaurants out of their house. Those are the places you need to go to experience that Mayan cuisine. I need to go to that Hartwood restaurant in Tulum when I go.

[@MvskokeWolf]

Great episode! I thoroughly enjoyed this one. The Yucatan peninsula has now been added to my must visit list without a doubt!

[@Wabi-sabi8551]

If you are in an area with Lionfish, SPEAR AND EAT AS MANY AS YOU CAN. They are very tasty grilled and are not fishy at all. Just a nice flaky white fish with a nice firm texture. On top of that they are actually much healthier and nutritious than many other commonly eaten fish. If you love fish than there is no way you will not love Lionfish too. Anyhow this program was awesome!

[@justmegeorgie5930]

This Alessandro Porcelli is "THE MOST AFFECTED AND PRETENTIOUS" Chef EVER! As if saying "Fucking" every other minute makes his comment more Authentic or Real! It just says Ignorant! ..... Please Know that Not All Italians are this Pretentious, Crude or Unlikeable! God!...I Miss Anthony Bourdain!!!!!

[@crystalchy]

Oh My Gosh! That pork looks yum!

[@g9moto253]

yes

[@tiggy2timez]

Pibil.. Amazing! We cook like this throughout the south pacific Islands. "underground oven" my peoples call it LOVO - UMU or HANGI ❤️

[@MsAfroAssassin]

***** haha come on you cant really believe that eating free food from some other country is "colonial exploitation"

[@Mark-lw7lk]

Does anyone have an idea how they made the sauce at 4:38 ? I would expect them to explain that stuff in the video and not just drone on about the vibe, maybe a local or someone who has seen it made/ makes something similar?

[@correadoggsten]

Mark just google cochinita pibil

[@usa4ever26]

Bitter orange, anato seed powder

[@donshilo2024]

[@genarock_]

Amazing

[@Pendulunis]

wonderful

[@-_glowing.redmoon_-]

Love this!

[@JoyAmin666]

doesnt the heat die while you bury everything?just curious

[@foallie]

The ground absorbs the heat from the sun anyways so its already quite warm down there. The heat doesn't die although the flame does, the heat within the charcoals is still very much there. Then the food is cooked within the ground and retains the heat. Alot like an oven :)

[@philly442]

awesome kitchen

[@ludovicneron3507]

amazing video

[@deekay467]

In the past they came with swords and horses and took their land, and gold and people. Now they come with smiles and cameras and take their culture and history and knowledge.

[@speedwagon3733]

+deekay467 ... I agreed with you.

[@MissTrinidad]

EXACTLY

[@Angie-et5gq]

arniebarb123 can’t take something you don’t work hard enough to earn 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🤭

[@leejones3115]

The individual families that they interacted with in this project weren't forced to be there. It's a strange dichotomy between the past and present. I agree that the European has proven to be nasty and evil in the past, but how can we grow as a species if we stay stuck there? Can we evolve past violence and hatred?

[@prototypeglory]

Now I'm in the mood to drink a Dos Equis.

[@Crazyi1993]

That's exactly what happened to me haha

[@UnlistedInvisibility]

Beauty

[@miquelaguirre8757]

Los norteamericanos como estos, son nongratos en mi tierra, la expropiacion cultural no es algo de lo que sentirse orgulloso, este programa debería ser llevado por un Mexicano conocedor de la cultura y gastronomía.

[@Angie-et5gq]

Miquel Aguirre pero nuestra gente no se pone las pilas.

[@rosscarder1195]

this was almost vaguely interesting. a big improvement on recent videos

[@aexgomz8028]

Yeah yeah yeah

[@th3giv3r]

What is this fantastic music and am I missing its source in the description?

[@HeavymetalHylian]

"Music courtesy of Jingle Punks Audio Network" in the end credits

[@MrParshath]

puro hipster

[@Linden531]

What was the red marinade they rubbed on the pork before they buried it in the beginning? Man, I'd eat that whole pig O.o

[@carlocaa]

it was "recado rojo" wich is made out of anato seeds and spices, then mixed with garlic, oregano, bitter orange juice, salt, pepper and water

[@correadoggsten]

Mark Linden just search cochinita pibil for a recipe

[@BedSheet90]

What is the song at 0:48? Pleaseeee I love the piece so much.

[@tabascokid3472]

I live in Mexico and am a patriot of this great country but I'm a writer and am a little crazy from writing & living alone on the sea

[@longsleeves6278]

hahaha wtf

[@MiStErExTrAvAgAnT]

does anyone know the song at 0:50

[@thatgirljo2119]

The pretentious air of these " foreign " hosts is gag worthy.....I would have preferred a local showing their cuisine...

[@guilliamo1983]

Totally agree with your comment it feels like they think they’re better than everyone

[@TheGranti7a]

Jolisa Brewster A privilege to know what one prefers.

[@00Julian00]

Yes

[@lovyazid]

That was my exact same though as well !!

[@chauntyboo2848]

@@guilliamo1983 is it the classic "American" or the privileged, white male American?

[@mayhemsanchez]

What's the steps and recipe for that pig in the hole post link

[@reedux]

16:45 the guy magically channels Christopher Walken.

[@RandomU5erName]

Christopher Walken? lol

[@Chingster22]

yes! i was just going to comment that the narrator sounded like a spanish christopher walken

[@tlahuicolexiii2844]

I couldnt find who he sounded like until u said it! 🤣

[@alex8353339]

Most delicious Mexican dishes have Pre-Hispanic roots. You'll never find food as delicious as Mexican food in Spain.

[@Largepro21]

you mean #Yucateco food

[@alex8353339]

Isn't Yucatan located in Mexico?

[@Largepro21]

+Dora Rigel yea , but its the Yucatan which is the Deep South / Caribbean side of Mexico ..Mexico is BIG & every state/region is Different I'm just saying bruh recognize

Don't call me bro.

+Dora Rigel Relax bro

[@Rawflcounsel76]

............at 15:03...do you know who is the Hispanic Christopher Walken ....THAT GUY!!!!!

[@itsdrbbro]

Ill be honest.. The only reason I liked this video was because of the ZX2, but I do enjoy the culture lesson and food so thanks Munchies

[@staybalanced6973]

Dude hosting sounds likr Christopher Walkin lol

[@odoyle3655]

What is the song used in the opening scene?

[@nigelbagwell3528]

how do you make that

[@mirandapow2230]

I wonder if chef bayless ever explored this cuisine. this is the real deal

[@mirandapow2230]

312vandal yes

[@Artemisia494]

Did someone say something on the lines of "it's halal" at 4:01? because it is XD

[@YourMajesty143]

That bird was flapping and writhing. Halal slaughter has to be a quick death, no suffering.

[@maxievoight]

What is that red sauce again?
