I as a mexican got kinda triggered by the Coment that Yugopnik made. But it’s okay. Tacos and maize tortillas pre date the arrival of the spaniards, in fact the first recorded taco meal, is from the fall of tenochtitlan when cortés to celebrate ordered to slaughter some pigs and make tortillas. The lebanese immigrants influenced the tacos when they brought the Döner during the late 19th century and Hakim is right, most of them were Christians, they adapted the dish by using pork meat and local chillies. Those particular tacos are called “tacos al pastor”. In the north people eat more flour tortillas than maize tortillas. Also Tacos are more of a mexican/central american thing rather than a latinamerican thing.

another thing that I found out is that tortillas weren't called tortillas till after the Spaniards arrived. in Nahuatl, they are called tlaxcalli which is actually what Tlaxcala is named after.

[@jgilgorri]

Yeah agreed, as a Uruguayan if you want tacos and stuff you need to go to a Mexican restaurant. Our foods are actually pretty dissimilar across Latin America (which is great when we go to each other's parties LOL) but the gradient thing is pretty true

Alright i think is time to invite someone from latin america because i keep noticing Yugopnik doing the same mistakes regarding the region, first the position, not everything south of the USA is south america, Cuba, Mexico, DR, Haiti, Puerto Rico are all north american, then you got from Guatemala to Panama Central America and then you get to south america, also “tacos” is strictly Mexican it isn’t a shared “latin” culture, it’s not a dish or anything that represents an Argentinian or a Brazilian or even a Belizean, is just Mexican. And obviously no, the taco itself came from the Olmecs, what was adopted was the Shawarma and also their spices and how they cook the meat and since all they had were tortillas they made their version of a taco and it became popular its called Al Pastor, but the taco obviously already existed. It would be like saying the US created pizza because of their New York pizza or New Jersey because they made a very popular version of it.

👋 Lebanese culture has had a reallly big influence in Mexican culture and cuisine! From what I know, pre-Columbian indigenous cuisine has had some iteration of a taco which used maize/corn tortillas which predate flour tortillas that are used largely in Northern Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisines. There’s evidence of these foods from the writings we have from Spanish conquistadors 😵‍💫. These were eaten with a variety of fillings as tacos or with stews! I can’t speak for West Asian influences outside of Mexico but the most obvious to Mexican cuisine are Tacos Al Pastor that we have thanks to Lebanese immigrants who used Mexican marinades combined with their dishes. Great episode !! Love talking and learning about foodways!

[@azertyQ]

Tasting History just did a video on the (missing) history on the origins of the taco, and agrees with this.

[@mrstronghito]

Came to say this exactly - it's only one type of taco, Tacos Al Pastor! Yugopnik, go back to your library! And Mexico is not SOUTH America, it's part of NORTH America!!! But the Lebanese/Syrian influence is seen in the introduction of garlic, cumin, coriander, and cinnamon to Mexican cuisine. That said, Mexico contributed massively to Yugopnik's cuisine - peppers, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, and chocolate, are all from Mexico! So the spicy stuffed peppers - you would not have it without Mexico!

Mexican food is something special. Its simple and incredibly hearty. Just different combinations of tortillas, rice, beans, meat, chilies, various sauces, etc. Chorizo especially is the food of the gods I swear.

Like it doesn't really look appetizing, and it will burn out your nose hairs if you're not careful, but holy shit.

29:37 - nah, old money aren't shrinking, it's just that like everything else in market economy it's getting more concentrated in less amount of hands, so those who are leftover have to consume new money to keep themselves afloat. And antimonopoly agencies that pretend to fairly regulate markets don't have any power over this process

[@fun_ghoul]

FYI, comrade: "Old money" doesn't mean the money itself, but the families who've accumulated it over time, historically over some generations. So, necessarily, the concentration you speak of will and does drive people out of the bourgeoisie, thus leaving fewer "old money" people (READ: patriarchs).

[@PvlC]

@@fun_ghoul I get that, but what I was trying to point was that the power and wealth of old money as a group doesn't shrink. It grows and get get more concentrated over time.

I have never had good stuffed grape leaves. My American ass who's family is straight out of the Polish People's Republic loves stuffed cabbage so that's what I expect.

[@d0nj03]

Yeah, over in Romania I immediately got what stuffed sweet-peppers and sarma he was talking about, but I never liked the grape-leaf variety, the grape leaves just don't taste like much and require too much boiling to soften up and be chewable. Pickled cabbage (sauerkraut?) leaf sarma are much better, not least of all because of how anything sour/pickled is an ideal complement to the 'heavier' meats like pork. I think this is also why they put the sour cream on the grape leaf sarma: for that extra acidity to help digest the heavier meat, whereas for pickled cabbage sarma I never felt the need for any cream and I keep it out of there if I have the option to.

@@minhducnguyen9276 I dunno about Germany, but steak has been taking a backseat to "peasant cuts" and "slow food" among bourgeois for the exact reason you describe: More inherent labour must make it better! (Of course, this is often true.) By contrast, a typically tender steak -- NY strip, rib steak, filet mignon, etc. -- spends a max of ten minutes on the grill; the most skilled cooks will only touch the steak five times from fridge to plate, and accompaniments are usually simple, like corn, mashed potato or salad*. The only thing in a steakhouse that sits that long is probably the gravy, lol. *What passes for salad over here: A few leaves of Romaine and a crunchy, unripe-but-red tomato wedge or two with 150 ml of some kind of mayo yuck, bacon bits, breaded chicken strips, heaps of "cheese"...everything but the kitchen sink!

@@fun_ghoul In Germany it's simple, it's locally or just domestically produced it's for the peasants and can be bought from the supermarket. If it's imported from Australia it belongs to the restaurant. Sometimes I think just the fact that the raw materials and labour process that makes it will decide the price and make people think it's luxurious or not. In Germany, grass fed beef is more expensive as you can just import grain from Russia or South America them feed them to the cow but grass in temperate climate grow slower you'd need to chop down an unhealthy amount of trees to make pastures so grass fed is more expensive and people like to show that they don't eat grain fed beef on a fancy dinner. It is reversed in Vietnam. In tropical climate grass grow like crazy we don't have a lack of grass we have a lack of people cutting them down. But nobody would waste grain to feed cow in a country that just achieved self sufficiency of food security half a decade ago so grain fed beef here is more expensive and people will like to flex that they can afford grain fed beef in the restaurant. Unfortunately for the restaurants, my peasant tongue can't see the difference between grain and grass fed beef but my wallet can so I always pick the cheaper option. In the end, only the marinate and the gravy make the difference to me.

In my country you gonna have to book a reservation to eat rats. Yeah, real BBQed rats. Because proper rats catched from the paddy fields which eat only rice are not contaminated with the leftover from McDonald are rare and you can't farm rats as it's banned for being potentially environmentally damaging. We don't have an agency to give restaurant certification that they sell clean rats so you gonna bank on the fact that the more reputational the restaurant is the less likely they will slip a few McDonald fed rats into your BBQ which also drive up the price. And because they have to be slowy roasted a restaurant can't produce many of the roasted rats in a day.
