We asked our Mexican Moms how well they know Mexican foods and items! 😂🇲🇽
Did any of these surprise you?
SUBSCRIBE TO MAMAH FOR NEW VIDEO EVERY WEEK!
Thanks to our sister channel TheCrazyGorilla for joining us ❤️
/ thecrazygorilla
We asked our Mexican moms play a game of 'Is it Mexican?' (with the help of TheCrazyGorilla) where they have to guess if a food, thing, or place, is originally made in Mexico or if it's a product just associated with our community! Some of the history of these things may surprise you! Moms had to guess the history of horchata, nachos, Japanese style peanuts, Chipotle, enchiladas, flour tortillas, fajitas and even piñatas! Did you know that Chipotle Mexican grill... never mind - you'll just have to watch the video!
Filmed and Produced by The Crazy Gorilla

The flour tortilla came after the Spanish brought wheat but originally flour tortillas were not part of the Mexican diet when we were introduced to flour we decided to make tortillas thus the flour tortilla came to be.

Las piñatas las crearon los misioneros españoles en México con la finalidad de catequizar. Tenían 7 picos que eran los 7 pecados capitales, se vendaban los ojos a manera de la fe, y con el palo de la caridad se les vencía y las frutas (antes no eran dulces) eran las bendiciones de DIOS.

@irisfigueroa5249 Жыл бұрын

The piñata in Mexico was invented by Aztecs to celebrate the birthday of their gods, they would make clay pots and decorate, paint them really nice and fill them with fruit/snacks and hang them to break them. The Europeans took the idea of a piñata from the Chinese and took it back to Europe and called it piñata to celebrate catholic holidays. When the Europeans came to Mexico and conquered, the piñata evolved mixing Aztec tradition of celebrating birthdays and Europeans celebrating catholic holidays by making the Mexican piñata 🪅 celebrates both birthdays and Christmas/ catholic holidays.

The horchata does have African origins but the version us Mexicans make is a new drink, it changed very much in Mexico not barely. The main ingredient that improved the horchata was adding vanilla a Mexican native ingredient and we added milk ( other dairy products) to it instead of water and the rice is better then the peanuts. The horchata really evolved in Mexico it’s a drink we inherited from our ancestors from Spain and yes even from Africa and we improved it in México it is a Mexican drink.

I feel like Horchata is mexican like yes it was brought by colonialism, but a lot of things tht were brought through colonialism come together to make its current culture. Is it indigenous? no. But I think that colonialism+ cultural exchange has added and changed many things in many ethnic groups across the world. I don't think that makes it any less authentic. Just my hot-take.

As the (well-supported) story goes, Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya originally made them for some US military wives who came into his restaurant late in the day in Piedras Negras, Mexico. The kitchen had already closed, but Anaya kindly offered to throw together something from the day's leftover tortillas. He ripped and fried them up, covered them with cheddar and jalapeño slices, warmed them in the oven, and served them up as Nacho's Especiales. The women loved them and they were added to the restaurant's regular menu.

@@jeffmorse645 They definitely did. When the etymologists were researching the origin of the term Nachos, they found there was even an nachos recipe found in an old cookbook from Eagle Pass, which is where the customers were from. Apparently one of them loved the dish enough to submit a recipe for it a year or two after Ignacio Anaya served it to them.
