Culture in Production
FOOD
Final Project
INTRODUCTION
Mexican food is a reflection of our culture. Corn is the
clearest example of that. The Mayas used it since ancient times. It was the
symbol of their beliefs.
Nowadays Mexicans use it to prepare typical dishes which are
eaten at nacional Celebrations. For Example:
-Tamales, are eaten on February 2nd(second), we celebrate
Candelaria Day: It means Day of the Candles or Candle Mass. It is a Mexican
celebration that is a fusion of the
Catholic influences and native Mexican tradition. On that day some families go
to the church with images of little baby Jesus.
Another traditional dish is Pozole. This is very delicious,
because it is spicy and thick. Some people think it is not healthy, but I think
it is healthy because it contains vegetables, carbohydrates and proteins.
In Potzolcalli restaurants,
they prepare the best pozole. They have different kinds:
- one with pork
-one with chicken
-one with shrimp
And they also can have different colors like red or green
depending on the ingredients.
The pozole can be eaten any day but especially on
Independence Day, which is September
16th. Usually Pozole is accompanied by tostadas, onion, radish, lettuce, and
oregano.
