“Mexico is undoubtedly respected for birthing one of the world’s great food cultures. For example, Unesco has recognized traditional Mexican cuisine as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity. However, the influence and importance of the nation’s gastronomy has yet to be properly evaluated globally. I believe this for two reasons: one, the most popular Mexican dishes internationally are street foods, which has led many to undervalue the complexity of its cuisine; and two, people don’t know their food history very well.”
