Something tells me if you went around and presented this information to different Mexicans on the street, they either wouldn’t believe it, or would want to beat your ass

Mexicans:

I don’t understand why anyone would be angry about this.

I think it’s cool as fukk to learn where things came from. It’s amazing. Right? Yo…this food is so dope that even people 5,000 miles away are like

I love this kind of thing.

OP

Good post.

I've read different origin of the word mofongo, though.

This is not really a good section of the board to discuss culture and history, though.

It makes sense. But tamales are from the Aztecs right? Or where can that be tracdd back to?

It’s almost astonishing how the majority of folks-let’s say here in the States, for example-take for granted foods they eat regularly or semi-regularly, yet never really look up the origins of said food. And if it’s tied to a certain culture or ethnicity, we automatically assume that group were the creators of that item.

Anti-immigrant Americans be munching on American “comfort foods” that were made from immigrants or originated in other countries

That horchata/kunuaya shyt is ground grass nuts? And it's good?

 

[chineebai]

food is international, if it is good, it'll travel, even back in ancient times. Look at the potato, tomato, spices, peppers
