/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Also, I know that not all of those dishes are exclusively Mexican, or even originated here (most are, though).

>>8155370
Unless you've lived with isolated indigenous groups in Mexico, nothing that you've ever eaten is indigenous to Mexico. What the world knows as Mexican food is a synthesis between Spanish and indigenous cuisine. In other words, Spanish techniques and indigenous ingredients.

Tepache Piña looks like a Terremoto here in Chile ya know...

>>8155422
Almost everything you said in your post is completely false.

1. You don't need to live in an isolated community to eat indigenous recipes. And indigenous is not synonymous with Mexico, it is only a part of it. For instance, tomatoes and corn were domesticated in Mesoamerica, hence, they are indigenous to the region, and so were the early versions of Chocolate, that were later enhanced by the European contact, thus Chocolate in its current form (with sugar) also originated here.

2. That syncretism that was created with Spanish and Indigenous recipes, and their variations through the last 500 years are also indigenous to Mexico.

Pic related, indigenous drink that is popular everywhere outside of isolated groups.

>>8155444
Tepache is a fermented beverage made from the peel and the rind of pineapples, and is sweetened either with piloncillo or brown sugar, seasoned with powdered cinnamon, and served cold.

>>8155422
And in a lot of cases, they are Indigenous techniques with ingredients brought by the Spanish. Pozole was eaten by the Aztecs, but of course they didn't have pork or beef.

>>8155448
>Almost everything you said in your post is completely false

You confirmed everything I said in my post, perhaps slightly more eloquently than me, but I thank you for your help.

>>8155538
>nothing that you've ever eaten is indigenous to Mexico.

>indigenous

>Originating or occurring naturally in a particular place; native.

Almost all of those dishes originated here, dumb shitposter. Now please leave.

There you go senpai, pretty solid list.

Too many subhuman tier recipes from the south like Gusanos de maguey, Quesadillas de sesos, Chapulines, and Bacalao. That last one is more of a personal preference because I can't stand seafood whose odor is too strong, the rest are southern shit that only tourists and bottom of the barrel Mexicans eat.

>>8156830
Hot damn! This one is only missing some dry chiltepines.

>>8156849
>subhuman tier recipes from the south
The only reason why our food is an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, norteño fuck, the only places in the North that have good food are the ones in the coast.

http://www.unesco.org/culture/ich/en/RL/traditional-mexican-cuisine-ancestral-ongoing-community-culture-the-michoacan-paradigm-00400

>>8156849
Also, Bacalao is a Portuguese recipe. Fucking hell.

>>8156897
Well, I'm not going to eat bugs or call it my cultural heritage because some people who work construction jobs in the south still eat them. Pozole, for instance, was originally a cannibal food, yet, I don't see why we should consider the original cannibal recipe as 'heritage', the same goes for eating bugs, it's spear chucker food.

I'm not denying there are some dank recipes in the south, though they could use less wacky ingredients, all I'm saying is that eating bugs and shit isn't commonplace for most mexicans, and it shouldn't be.

Other than the brains and bug recipes, and some other shit I'm probably missing, it's a really good list, BTW, I didn't meant to offend you

>>8156900
So what's the point in adding it to this list?

>>8156923
Alright, alright, I don't want to start an argument.

>So what's the point in adding it to this list?

I didn't make it, but I suppose because it is traditional here in Christmas and we have our own variation?

That's candy. Where my palanquetas and trompadas at then? Palanaqueta especially, it's a lot more popular here than anything else really.

Also Nieves, like icecream but water based. Beso de Angel is fucking delicious, but each town has it's own version. Standard ingredients are cheese, nuts and some sort of cherry.

>>8158507
Nice, thanks.

>>8158580
Oh yeah, palanquetas.

You forgot dorilocos.

Pierna in salsa morita tamales. Actually any pork in salsa morita, that's a god tier combination.

>>8156849
I agree with you my fellow norteño, but still they're mexican food, you have to pay respect to it anda at least eat it once...

this looks good sempai, I'll do some tomorrow

>>8159101
North has better asados and seafood south has better moles and guisados

both are tied when it comes to tacos

>>8159018
that's not food you filthy chilango scum

>>8159097
Moronga, also known as Rellena or Morcilla, is mexican blood sausage. It's pretty heavy, I almost barfed when eating it alone. It retains a lot of flavor so it "goes well" slathered in strong sauces or with other strong flavors. It's certainly an acquired taste for some. It's also dirt cheap.

Try Machito next time for a milder flavor.

>>8159107
fuck last weekend I ate sum ceviche in my grandma's house, I live in baja, you can imagine the masterpiece it was

yeah, I became a mole eating bitch after getting a good recipe

>>8159117
thanks sempai, moronga was to strong for me, I love heavy flavors, but it was to heavy for me, so where can I buy a machito?
I don't know if I'll find them here in baja :(

>>8159117
Morcilla is one of the best things ive eaten.in Mexico. Its one of those dishes thats either excellent or shit.

I'll be going to Cancun in December, recommend me some places to eat at

>>8160293
Mcdonalds, Arbys, Pizza Hut, etc. Cancun is essentially amerifatland and any mex restaurant will be overpriced amerifat tex-mex.

What's that Mexican dish with flat bread and corn, you know the one?

Lengua. It's okay. Rookie mistake.

Aguachile is THE GOAT dish

>>8160293
There are small towns around Cancun where you can find authentic Mexican food at cheap prices, and also do some mild sightseeing, avoid tourist traps.

>>8160293
Los Aguachiles. Good seafood and Mezcal

>>8161315
I was surprised too, but it makes sense considering that corn was first domesticated in mexico and the first evidence of chocolate came from there too (and guatemala)

it's amazing what you can learn in these threads after a little research.

>>8159069
Quesadillas de Huitlacoche aka corn smut

Alright lads, this is the final version (I know there are tons of dishes left out, but I had to stop at one point).

Thank you for your help, and see ya.

>>8163783
Yes

>>8163778
It would make the pic way too big.

But I can dump some pics if you want. The names of the dishes are right there and people can just google them to find the recipe. There are even tons of videos on YouTube about them.

>>8163778
Sorry fa.m.

>>8163941
I'm Mexican and I want to eat everything on the list. I haven't tried so much of the stuff. I usually stick to tacos al pastor.

>>8163941
>>8163945

>>8163946
I actually have tried most of them. But some do require you to travel through the country. Since they are regional to their state. Maybe you could find them in some restaurants, "mercados" or "fondas" if you live in Mexico City. You can find basically everything there, since there are people from all over the country.

>>8164027

thanks anon now I'm hungry

>>8164031
That’s the problem with a lot of those dishes, everyone has their own recipe. Every single abuelita cooks her own way, and they pass the recipes to their immediate family. So, there isn’t a single recipe…
desu I don't know how to cook all that well, but this is from a recipe I found that seems to be like the one I ate, sorry for the delay.

1 or 2 potatoes per person
1 or 2 eggs per person
1 green pepper (serrano)
1 red pepper (serrano, but mature)
1 onion
1 small tomato per egg
200 grams of ham
200 grams of Chorizo
Olive oil
Salt
Parsley
Peel, wash and cut the potatoes into slices and fry in plenty of hot olive oil. Once fried, place them on paper towels and salt it.
Cut the pepper, tomatoes and onion into small chunks, and in another pan, with a splash of olive oil, add the onions finely chopped. When they are transparent add the peppers into small pieces and fry for 5 minutes, when the vegetables are tender incorporate the grated tomatoes and add the chorizo and ham cut into pieces and saute between 5 and 10 minutes.
Distribute the potatoes and arrange them so as to cover the entire bottom of the casserole, cover them with the ham, chorizo, peppers and onion and make a hole in the center, put the eggs in the hole, and put in the oven for 6 minutes at 180ºC
After this time, remove from the oven and sprinkle with some finely chopped parsley.

Nice compilation Anon, why are you making this though? It's missing salsas, but I guess they all look the same so having a picture reference would get redundant. How did you make this image? Just screenshots of your thumbnails? I want to make something similar but at higher resolution.

>>8164031
https://www.mexicodesconocido.com.mx/huevos-en-cazuela.html

I can translate it for you if you want.

INGREDIENTS (For 1 person)
For the omelet:
3 eggs
1 slice of panela cheese, diced
1 slice of cheese, diced
Salt to taste
3 tablespoons of corn oil
For the salsa:
2 pasilla roasted chilies, seeded and soaked in very hot water
1 clove garlic
1/4 onion
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon corn oil
PREPARATION
Eggs, salt to taste, are shaken with a little with a fork. In a little frying pan, the oil is heated, add the eggs and, when half-cooked, put the cheese in the center and the omelet is done. Once cooked, cut it in three, bathe it with the sauce and serve immediately.
The sauce
Crush the chilies with the garlic, onion, salt and soaking water. In a saucepan heat the oil, add the sauce and allow everything to season very well.

>>8164199
Stupid shitcanos like you that don't speak Spanish and can't properly translate things is the reason so much of Mexican food is inproperly made. The recipe itself is kind of fucked up. 1 slice isn't a measurment even in Mexican standards depending on how big the panela is the slice could be huge or a little one.

>1 slice of panela cheese, diced
>1 slice of cheese, diced

What the fuck happened to the second cheese, why isn't the type specified? Dumb fuck. This is how you translate it:

Egg Tortilla

3 eggs
Cubed Panela cheese
Cubed queso fresco cheese (yes you have to specify that it's cheese for anglo-tards like saying "Pita bread" even though Pita means bread and appending bread to it just makes it redundant)
Salt to taste
3 Tablespoons of corn oil

Salsa
2 roasted pasilla chiles, seeded and rehydrated.
1 clove of garlic
1/4 of an onion
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon corn oil

Preparation
Add salt to eggs and whisk with a fork. Heat oil in a pan and add eggs, until partially cooked. Add cheeses to the center and fold over the eggs and finish cooking. Slice into three portions bathe it in the salsa and serve immediately. (what the fuck is that "little frying pan" bullshit? Fucking spics abusing the diminutive)

Sauce
Blend chiles, garlic, onion and salt along with the water you used to rehydrate the chiles. In a sauce pan heat oil and cook sauce.
(what's this well seasoned bullshit? As opposed to badly seasoned?)

The recipe is shit, the picture includes slices of what seems to be some kind of sausage, might be chorizo, longaniza who knows but it isn't in the recipe. Fake false advertising click-bait shit recipe. Where the fuck are the jitomates?

>>8155367
that green chili shit is the bomb

Pretty dissapointed no one posted this

>>8164245
Why are you so angry

>>8164273
I'm not, why would you think that?

>>8164171
I guess that I simply got tired of people who thinks Mexican food is only Tex-Mex or who claim that Mexican food is "basic, with the same 5 ingredients and for the poor" on /int/. I almost never post in /ck/ because I don't really know how to cook, but I thought this would be a good place to ask.

And yeah, it is only screenshots from my thumbnails.

>I want to make something similar but at higher resolution.
Go for it.

>>8164251
We could make an entire list with just the different types of tamales.

>>8164288
Ah ok cool thanks for the reply. I need to organize everything I have, but you're right, just the taco/tamales folder would be huge. I'm currently working on collecting salads since those are never talked about despite there being a variety of some (lot of quelites). Thanks for some of the images as well.

>>8164288
yeah, but i would consider zacahuilt kind of diferent, as it has the whole grains in it instead of blended into a dough

I don't like tamales or pozole unless it's Verde and made in places like southern Mexico where they added various herbs . I love Mexican but don't like two of the most iconic dishes . One thing I would like to see is tortilla casserole aka Azteca in Mexican restaurants and camarones borrachos.

This looks absolutely incredible.

American here. Mexican is my favorite food by far. Unfortunately all I ever see are tacos, burritos, nachos etc. There's maybe 7-10 legit (owned and ran by mexicans) Mexican restaurants near me, and maybe like enchiladas verdes will be the most I see.

95% of the stuff I see in this thread I've never had and would absolutely love to try, but I never will.

>>8159256
Gringo here,

My girl only likes it off the cob. I like it in the cup.


Sometimes she puts Mayo on my dick for extra flavor, but I've only let her put chile on when I'm drunk.

>>8170983
If you live in a big city, there should be some places that do more than just antojitos

>>8171345

There aren't. Of the 10ish places I've found, about 6 are Americanized bullshit. Of the other 4, they sell real mexican but are too scared to risk selling anything more than lengua tacos

>>8171382
They don't even sell Mole Poblano?

I live outside of NYC and while there is a lot of real Mexican food there, my suburban area has barely any real Mexican. I went to a place that seemed to be owned by Mexicans but the menu was super Americanized. They served mole poblano which I had and it was good, but they served it with melted cheese, lettuce, rice, and beans. Most Mexican restaurants here on Long Island are not even owned by Mexicans and are not authentic at all.

I'm gonna have to beg some Mexicans to open up a real Mexican restaurant where I live.
