Rosalía Chay is one of the few chefs in Mexico who still cooks using an underground oven called a pib to make cochinita pibil. Maya people in the Yucatán Peninsula have prepared it this way since at least 400 AD. But people have abandoned these traditions - swapping pibs for modern stoves.

@shadow5281 Месяц назад

@LuciusKane09 Месяц назад

@@dannylv1257its due to the slow cooking, marinade, and putting under soil. Think Barbacoa which is the origin of the word BBQ. You thinking grill when you hear BBQ is just a modern version of the same. A closer cooking style in the US we now call smoking BBQ, think brisket. They really should make a video of the origin of BBQ as a companion piece to this.

There has been no abandoning this cooking method.

But the descendants of the Mayans have never forgotten this cooking method, and it still makes INCREDIBLY delicious BBQ.

Craziest thing is all the legends of lost cities of gold came because the first people to visit the Mayan cities saw them at their peak, large cities and art, merchants... everything a city would have. When they came back around a decade later it was nothing but jungle and isolated tribes. Nobody could believe disease would spread so fast and take out a civilization for the jungle to consume.
