@WaynoGur Год назад

My next door neighbour Mrs. Estrada, was from Southern Mexico. She made the best mole'. We were Italian. We swapped a lot of food. Growing up, we had the best of two cultures.

@billyfuckenbob Год назад

are you still Italian?

@WaynoGur Год назад

@@billyfuckenbob of course.

@Mr_AbdulRehman Год назад

Italian and Mexican cuisines are those which I admire a lot. I've explored Chinese cuisine to a very extent ( I think even after years you can't say you have mastered your taste pallets to a cuisine, let alone the whole food). Being Pakistani, my food exploration of my own country really began when I returned home after a few years abroad and I didn't expect that much variety in my country, as many said in comments every region has it's own dishes and tastes. So firstly, I'll recommend everyone to try Pakistani food and travel to Pakistan (sidenote: there's a whole bunch of variety other than just food, ocean, dessert, Himalayas, green valleys etc). The food is commonly referred to as Indian food on the international level. Secondly, I wish I had such an experience of having Italian and Mexican cultures around me. I envy you. Peace. Love.

@MorkyMuffin Год назад

And Southern Mexico totally has the best moles

@utkarshdube370 Год назад

I am Indian and with all respectful to the wonderful Mexican culture, this really reminds me of Indian cooking. The techiques, the way of eating, the utensils, and even the pot to cook in. Such rich history and such wonderful connection! Voila

@kozukizaki8675 Год назад

Yes! Whenever I introduce my Indian friends to Mexican food, I start with molé as it's flavor is similar to some Indian food.

@vjs2048 8 месяцев назад

I am Indian but my favorite cuisine is Mexican. One of the reasons it was easy for me to relate to it was the similarity in spices and overall flavors two cuisines have in common: cilantro, cumin, chilies, the importance of thin bread (tortillas or rotis), you name it!

@salvadorarreolarodriguez6165 Год назад

Saul casually explains how to make one of the most complex dishes in the world due to its preparation and flavor, amount of ingredients, even physical work... and makes it look simple, I think I'll try it for the first time xD As a separate note... the mole has THOUSANDS of recipes, even in a community each family can have its variants... easily reaching recipes with more than 30 ingredients...

@mb2444 Год назад

Saul's videos are a jewel. He shares the history, technique, and significance of food to the Mexican culture in a very engaging way. I would love to see a complete series with him or a dedicated channel with him.

@RexGalilae Год назад

I had Mole at an upscale authentic Mexican restaurant (the kind that ships every ingredient from Mexico) and it made me think of food in a way I never did What he said about the piano and the song makes sense when you try it. The mole is so complex that it feels like music or a fragrance with its top and base notes. Something else entirely

@anasevi9456 Год назад

two of my favourite foods on the planet since I was a child are a good sweet indian curry, or mexican mole. Because if they are made right, both are a symphony of rich flavours in your mouth.

@frograna2 Год назад

Awesome, that's so true. Ever since i got really into cooking I've made it a habit to cook my own food while down in Mexico it adds to the experience too because it gives my family and i an excuse to party every day while I'm down there 😅👍

@zdfloser Год назад

I’m only half way through the video and I had to pause and take a second because I got emotional after seeing him use the metlapil. How much we’ve been robbed of our culture and traditions but to see him put his soul into this dish.. it’s truly an honor. Our ancestors smiling rn.

@dantecain6277 Год назад

I get what you're saying but my ancestors would smack me with a shoe and say "I did not raise you to be stupid! We have blenders for a reason!"

@luiscazares7560 Год назад

Why do people hate one side of their culture and not the other? The fact that were mixed between indigenous and spanish makes us Mexican and gives us our culture. Unless you are 100% native you should appreciate both sides.

@carlosmacmartin4205 Год назад

Not sure where you and your people come from, but as a Chicano I'm proud of all the ancestors I'm related to: Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Irish, Jew, Arab, African, Mongolian, and Native.

I come from a very small town in Tlaxcala Mexico, where we have our version of mole which it’s actually more spicy than Oaxaqueño, seen this it’s actually a remainder of how high Mexican cuisine really is, a very complex dish that takes flavor since the very time using the metate and the metlapil. My abuela would be proud of this recipe!

Just give yourself time. Take time to care for each ingredient separately. I am sure there are Abuelas who have been cooking this for a million years who can whip it up relatively quickly, but no need to rush. Patience often brings about the best food
