This professor did a master job in this conference. Incredible work and I feel honored as a Mexican for your erudition an expertise in Mexican food and cuisine.
That's cool. I'd like to try it sometime when I visit. I hope it's not like what Gordon Ramsay prepared in his instructional video I saw on youtube though! LOL
Very Interesting.Thank you.Im from L.A. but live it Texas for the past 32 years.Mexican food is so good and has really grown from state to state as you mention.
Mexican food is made only with natural and wholesome ingredients such as fresh garlic, onions, tomatoes, tender cactus, avocados, peppers and a great selection of spices. Furthermore these ingredients support digestion and settle your stomach, so go ahead and have Mexican food more often.
Wheat tortillas are also Mexican, from the North. Corn tortillas are from the centre and the south. In the north they do not normally eat corn tortillas, but wheat tortillas. I don't agree with Mr. Pilcher about wheat tortillas being an American invention.
errr I don't recall him ever saying that. He said it was a European contribution to Mexican food, an adaptation of the milenary corn tortillas, which they are.
wrong in fact the tortillerias(little places where they made the maseca tortillas which are basicaly corn flour) are everywhere and i mean everywhere in mexico so if you put a tortilleria you are basicaly rich, i mean the volume of corn tortillas that is consumed in mexico is astronomical, you can't eat food without
Given the neg. response of the announcer regarding the hours women spent prepping tortillas from scratch she doesn't understand the social aspect of third world or early world food preparation.
I lived in the Peruvian andes and worked with the Quechua Indians for many years. (They do not make tortillas.) Their meticulous food preparation was shared with other women and it was comparable to a sewing circle, quilt circle etc. It was totally fun with much story telling and constant giggling and laughing. Not "work".
