“Understanding bread’s journey through Mexican history reveals an important truth: Mexico’s bread culture has always been a story of adaptation and exchange. If nearly 80% of consumption is white bread, perhaps Hart’s observation about market gaps was less cultural insensitivity and more market analysis. The question isn’t whether an expat can contribute to Mexico’s bread scene, but rather why cross-cultural culinary exchange suddenly became controversial in a country whose entire bread tradition is built on it.”
