If anybody is wondering why "Huitlacoche" looks so weird as a word and not like a Spanish word... it isn't! It's Nahuatl, which is essentially the Aztec language (most of the core cities in the Aztec empire were culturally Nahuan). There's actually a surprising amount of english words with Nahuatl origins, many culinary: "Tomato" comes from the Nahuatl "Tomatl" (which are actually speffically Green tomatos; red tomatos were Xitomatl) Coyote comes from "Coyotl", including many others such as Advocado/Guacamole (ahuacatl/ahuacamolli), Chipotle(Chilpoctli), Chocolate (chocolatl, while "cacao" has Maya roots). If you've ever looked at a map of Mexico and wondered why so many places have weird names like Tlaxcala, Acapulco, Oaxaca etc: They are either Nahuatl or other Mesoamerican languages like various Maya languages, Mixtec, Zapotec, Totonac, Purepecha, etc. There's actually still millions of people who speak these languages, with 20% of Mexico's population speaking them or identifying as ethnically indigenous, and in reality it's likely as many as twice that are still mostly ethnically Maya, Nahua, Mixtec, etc, even if they don't realize it. A lot of people think that these are dead, ancient civilizations, when in reality they are very much still around even if they've been culturally assimilated somewhat.

I love how you’re so appreciative of other cultures

When she mentioned “De mi Rancho a tu Cocina” I almost jumped up and down! I love that channel. I would LOVE to see a video of Emmy making homemade masa and tortillas. All it takes is corn and pickling lime (plus a cheap mill and some elbow grease)! I was even thinking about it earlier today as my wife and I spent hours (as we say in Spanish) “decapitating” nixtamalized corn for pozole. 😋 ¡Muy buen provecho!

Your comment about the "Tooth of garlic" made me realize that in Dutch we say a "Toe of garlic"! Love how different languages have these subtle differences

In Romanian we say “a puppy of garlic” 🤣. Like the big bunch is the mother doggy and she has all the little puppies in a litter.

"I'm not that talented" says the woman who processed her own fresh clay for a chicken....

Emmy’s on point pronunciation: Wig: snatched Soul: deceased Corn: fungused Hotel: Trivago

In Russian, a clove of garlic is also called a tooth. Well, "little tooth" actually. I never thought about it, but yeah, it is kinda cute!

I even said it out loud “eat the ducky moss” and she hit me with “buen probecho” so stinking cute lol love your videos

It sounds like Dona Angela is Emmy's Emmy ("so stinkin' cute!).

De mi Rancho a Tu Cocina. 💕 I’m Mexican and I’ve never had the opportunity to taste huitlacoche but I really want to! The corn grinder Doña Angela uses is called metate and the action of making tortillas is called tortear! 😁 Also use the salsa verde to make chilaquiles, now I’m hungry lmao.

I find your accent to be pretty accurate and also endearing.

When my grandma passed away several years ago, I got her metate that she used to make salsa. I love doña Angela. Her recipes are totally authentic.

I love how Emmy is always respectful of other cultures and really is genuine and tries to learn it and keep the tradition alive. She is one of my favorite youtubers out there and hope she never changes ❤️❤️❤️

Wow! I'm mexican and I've heard of Huitlacoche but I haven't tried it. I'm so amazed at Emmy's interest, curiousity, fascination and as a result her knowledge on such interesting content. Thanks Emmy for sharing.

fresh huitlacoche is amazing! the canned version, apart from the tinny aftertaste usually uses a sweeter, yellow corn variety called "dent" (which is the one used to make popcorn kernels) and changes the texture and taste. Fresh huitlacoche usually is found on the _maíz ancho_ and _zapalote / chapalote chico_ varieties, which are more waxy and less starchy, and have flat white grains (think of hominy).

My two very favourite “food” channels 🥰🥰🥰 i’m upset that she has a molcajete and i don’t and don’t get me started with those beautiful and fresh green tomatoes...😩😩😩.... from a mexican living in Canada 🇲🇽❤️🇨🇦

I absolutely love Huitlacoche. Back in the 70s, when I lived with my Grandparents, we used to pick corn late at night, like 01:00. - 04:00, when my Grandpa was getting ready to go out on a long haul (he was a trucker). I just more recently realized we were probably stealing corn from the field next to his truck yard so we could eat. The corn with the Huitlacoche was heavily prized. I haven't had any since 1983. I've only recently learned that it comes canned. I've been afraid to try it, as I tried canned Tamales once, and it broke my heart. On your next visit to the South West or Mexico, you sgould totally seek out, and try fresh Huitlacoche.

My favourite part is every time she works hard to pronounce the food's name in that language right. She has so much respect for other cultures it is very admirable

I love De Mi Rancho A Tu Cocina! She's so humble and cute. So nostalgic...

"I am not THAT talented!" sez way talented Emmy!

I always appreciate how much effort you put into respecting other culture's food and languages. Your respect, your research, your efforts are all things I love about you and your channel. Thank you for being a wholesome and awesome person!

When something is good and Emmy scoots the plate just a little closer... "This is mine."

There's an amazing specialty farm outside of St Louis called Bohlen Farms. They intentionally grow huitlacoche! Maybe I'll send you some fresh next year.

The way you are so curious, respectful and open minded to other cultures is simply amazing. Love your channel and the way you indirectly teach everyone who watch your videos about other cultures. Greetings from north east Mexico

I love love love Mexican food, spent a lot of time in Mexico eating everything including grasshoppers...but I can not stand huitlacoche. I ADORE Angela’s channel. She’s great and it helps me learn Spanish.

Me and my father-in-law love talking about these recipes that you have to find a specific ingredient for. We really enjoy your videos, and it helps us explore other food channels so we can bond over cooking! Can't wait to show him this one at Sunday dinner tomorrow!

Emmy your pronunciation is so good!!!! I’m always taken aback whenever I hear you pronounce words in languages that are foreign to you, because you do, so your very best to respect the culture, the words, as well as the food. Another great video!

OMG Doña Ángela is the best! I'm glad she's becoming so popular. Also, that salsa looks delicious Emmy! Mexican approved, just like my grandma used to make it. If you enjoyed canned huitlacoche you're going to love it fresh. It still has that slight bitterness to it, but it's so so good.

Me refreshing my subscription feed: corn WHAT?

I read the title and my thoughts went somewhere else. Smut isn’t a word I associate with food normally

Thank you always for your great respect for the worlds cultures and cuisine. I always get a little emotional when you feature anything Latin but particularly Mexican. Thank you kindly. And very well done.

Omggggg I’m in love with that lady too she’s the cutest 😭!!!

In German a garlic clove is called Knoblauchzehe - garlic toe. :3 And I had Lángos today, so no cravings for garlic and cheese anymore. XD

I genuinely love when Emmy finds an amazing foodie channel and references them in a video and many of her followers get so excited because they also love that channel. Everyone just gets so happy to share and talk about great content together and it makes me smile.

Your pronunciation is spot i love that

I love De Mi Rancho, too! She just came into my radar. Icons recognizing icons!!

Love when someone takes the time to say México right. 🥰🇲🇽

Your spanish pronounciation is amazing. Better than many people. Keep up the good work and passion for other cultures. I love your channel!!!

I love your Spanish. My friend and I are learning too. Thanks for sharing the link to your source video

I love Doña Angela! She reminds me so much of my own abuelita, from what I remember of her. The most distinguishable thing that they share, however, is definitely their sense of style haha. My abuelita would have worn everything that Angela does on her videos ESPECIALLY the aprons

Someone saw that and went, "Yeah, that looks like something I should eat."

Oh my gosh we have just started watching De mi Rancho a Tu Cocina and we are STOKED that you are into Angela, too! Thank you for making amazing food especially from our friends in Mexico!!!!!!!

My husband is from a small town in Michoacán Mexico called purepero. De mi rancho a tu cocina and abuelas kitchen have become my go-to channels for making foods he grew up with and loves.

This make me so happy it brings so many memories, like when my abuelita used to cook quesadillas for all the family. Also home made tortillas are the best !!!!

Oh wow. That's so interesting! Nice to see other edible fungi (besides our typical mushrooms) on this channel. Learning something new every day~ 🤗

Omg Emmy!! I'm Mexican and I recently started watching 'De mi Rancho a tu Cocina' she went viral so quickly and you have no idea how excited I got when first of all I saw that you were making an authentic Mexican recipe (that I've never tried because I was raised in the U.S.) but when you started to talk about her channel I freaked out! I knew I loved this channel for a reason lol!

I’m Mexican-American so I LOVE when you make/ try Mexican food! Love ya Emmy! :)

Comment section is like when the 5th grade teacher says the word "sex" in class.

I'm so glad you made this recommendation. She's wonderful

I love the way you explain your recipes. The way you express about other cultures and their dishes, makes me respect you even more. Doña Angela is a very sweet lady, so happy that you gave her credit and recommend her channel!!!

Omg. Thank you so much for this wonderful video. This reminds me when I used to visit my grandparents and used to go to the cornfields, and then the season where there was corn everywhere I used to explore it and just admire all that yummy huitlacoche, then grandma used to cook it fresh in different ways.

I remember our corn getting smut when I was a kid, of course then we didn't know it was edible.... So many missed opportunities!!!!!

Honestly seeing you using the molcajete for your salsa just brought me home. ¡Salud de mi casa a la tuya!

Awwwwwww I'm a fan of Seño Ángela from "De Mi Rancho A Tu Cocina"!!!!! She's so sweet and kind granny and cook amazing!!!!! ♡

As soon as I saw this video pop up, I thought of Dona Angela! She is so incredible and has the same sort of honest sincerity that Miss Emmy has. Love both you ladies!

We walk across the border and there's lots of places we can get this. Love the street tacos.

Ermergerd Emmy’s posting smut!

Thank you so much for the channel recommendation. Just watched her Mole de Rancho con pollo video. I love her. You just want to give her a big hug and sit down and have a coffee with her. Muchas gracias Emmy!

I don't know of a single one of your videos that I've missed in at least 3 or 4 years. You feel like family Emmy. Truly, you are a modern day Bob Ross/Mr Rogers/Steve Erwin. You have gotten me through some really tough times, and I just wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope one day I can do something just as meaningful. You are a force for good in this world. Never forget it.

Emmy's pedaling smut! It's the Mexican truffle.

your soul is so bright and pure emmy +v+

Emmy you are rockin' that kitchen, you go girl!! Does my heart good to see someone give my Mexican people, food and culture so much respect!! Keep rockin' Emmy!! Rick from Texas/California!!

I am thinking to myself, who was the person who first saw what was clearly a 'sick' corn and thought "hmmm, I wonder what this tastes like." ... Then again, if blight hit badly enough, people could get desperate enough to try anything AND I wonder if the persons who first tried this were the shamans or healers, who knew that there can be properties worth investigating in plants and oddities and things that were 'ill' but could in their own strangeness offer medicine for other ailments. I'm thinking of the rye fungus that has quite dramatic effects on mental states ... and mushrooms that have been used for all manner of rituals. Who knows. Still, fascinating to me how inventive and creative and DARING people have been over time in trying to make the most of their environment and discovering all manner of important, sometimes life-saving, and often nutritious things along the way. Great video, Emmy! (P.S. It is called a "tooth of garlic" in the Hebrew, too! I wonder how many other languages had noted and used the similarities in shape to 'dentition')

It's a tooth of garlic in Hebrew as well. I love how different languages evoke such different associations. :-)

Tasty or not you can't convince me that the first person ever who ate that did so willingly. Probably starving to death.

I find it amazing that every time Emmy mentions another KZfaq channel I’ve been watch for a week or two! This algorithm is pretty nifty

Emmy's voice is always so calming 😂❤ I love how you try foods from different cultures while giving information on them at the same time. Keep up the great work.

"Go away fruit fly." LoL My grandparents had huge gardens and grew corn. I remember seeing the black on the top of some of the stalks and was told it was smot or smoot {however it's spelled 🤷}. We never ate it though.

"Buen provecho!" Must be Spanish for "eat the ducky moss!"

I love your videos and how you always throw in little tidbits of knowledge about what you're making. Also! I love how respectful you are about different cultures! Love your channel!

One of the things I like the most about you and your channel is the respect that you have for foreign food, and cultures! Would love for you to visit Mexico!

You're a fun gal Emmy, another amaizing vid!!

I think there’s a need for the “emmymadeinmexico” channel...

I too watch her rancho cooking, she's a gem...reminds me of growing up on a horse ranch and hanging around the bunkhouses, those cabillaros all had girls that knew how to cook

Hey thank you for introducing me to De Mi Rancho A Tu Cocina, that lady is awesome and she is killing it on KZfaq. It seems like she received her 100k and 1 million subscribers trophies at the same time!!

Emmy in Mexico- YES

Yay Emmy, this brought memories of my late abuelita❤👵

They honestly look like some proper quesadillas!!! I will eat them with that salsa in a heartbeat, greetings from Mexico!! 🇲🇽

You pronounced everything Perfectly! Your such a genuine nice person Emmy I love your videos!

I want to make a joke using the phrase “Cornhub” but I’m too innocent to do so.

I love Emmy's huge mortar & pestle.

It made me so emotional how informed and sensitive you are to the authenticity of Mexican Cuisine! Love your videos always so smart, I'm always learning!!

I'm so happy you happened to find Doña Angela channel, by far one of my favorite channels since day one.

Hi - Emmy, I'll have a XL Corn Smut but hold the Corn please. And, also my friends will have the same. Thank you.

Emyly, you should visit Mexico and look for great ingredients. Saludos.

Emmy, I came across this video just now and I love your appreciation of Mexican culture, your love of the food and Angela! 😍 I’m here for all of it!

Wow, I thought I was the only one that was in love with Dona Angela. She’s amazing and quick. No fancy equipment, or kitchen, just a down to earth beautiful woman making wonderful Mexican dishes! She looks younger than 79 too.

She didn't even burp in this one. :(

I messaged you on Instagram! Please try rolly pollies! I read that they taste similar to lobster. Rolly pollies are actually not an insect!

I'm a native spanish speaker, but I don't like listening to spanish videos. So to stumble into well pronounced spanish in my english videos is such a refreshing surprise.

When I saw the title, De Mi Rancho a Tu Cocina was the first thing I thought of. So glad to see you do this video.

Saw the word 'smut' and thought, "who's reading smut?"

I dare you to eat that rotten corn. Hold my cerveza.

Oh man this stuff is soooo good! Thanks for making and educating more people about it!

Im in love with that channel aswell, that lady just makes me wanna give her a hug!

I've just been binging and recommending De mi rancho a tu cocina too! Fandoms collide. :)

Everyone enjoys some good smut

Emmy i also have been following angela and i love her videos reminds me of my grandma and her food. You are one of my favorite so when i heard you watch my other fave. I was so an excited for angela cause your awesome.

I’m here because we just accidentally grew this in our backyard crop of corn and I had no idea what it was! I found out it’s an edible delicacy and then found your video. My kids and I are all excited to try your recipe tomorrow since we have all the ingredients already. You are so pleasant to watch! 😊
