I am sorry , but there is so many wrong thing in this clip. Mexican cuisine along with peruvian has kept so much native food culture, they even exported their ingredients and food culture to europe ( their colonizer) and rest of the world. Their tortilla has the same role as our rice. Queso for quesadilla means cheese, etc.You have so much knowledge about thai and chinese food, but for viewers' sake , please...
I totally agree with you. South American Cuisine has its own root way way back for thousand years. Many ingredients had come from this area such as tomatoes , chilies, potatoes, maize(corn), beans, squash and so on. Also in my opinion, Christopher Columbus, slavery, had so little impact on South American Cuisine, its more like South American Cuisine had spread through out the world from slave trade.
@@channarongkay Thank you, ok if we talk about argentina (for quite extreme opposite), they are heavy on european. Some country in latin america has their cuisine mixed of native, european, african, and even asian. But because of Aztec and Mayan civilzation , mexican gastronomie has strong identity (same as Incan for Peru, etc.) It should be the word Aztec and Maya , that this clip had to mention first. I mean , the point of this comment is just PEOPLE believe what "THIS CLIP" say . Now for myself, if they talk about some information I don't know, I will need to recheck it.
