Mexican Food Research Paper

In our family when it’s someone's birthday we have whatever we ask for. When it’s my birthday my comfort of food is a combination of Mexican and American food. Mexican food is stupendous and is unique from other food. What I pick from the Mexican side is tamales. Tamales is my favorite food possibly because I grew up with Tamales since I was three years old. Not only do I picked Tamales for my birthday but I also pick Pocolle. Both of these marvellous Mexican dishes are my favorite and I would eat this dishes for the rest of my life if I could. From the American side I like to eat Cheeseburgers. What enjoy best out of all these food is the taste obviously, the smell, and the way the food looks.

The staples of Mexican cuisine are typically corn and beans. Corn, traditionally Mexico's staple grain, is eaten fresh, on the cob, and as a component of a number of dishes. Most corn, however, is used to make masa, a dough for tamales, tortillas, gorditas, and many other corn-based foods. Squash and peppers also play important roles in Mexican cuisine.

During this project, I learned how to make a common Hispanic dish. I also learned about different herbs that are common in Mexican culinary practices (epazote being one). After completing this project, I would say that I wish my culture was more similar to what I learned. My culture doesn’t put as much spice and flavor into the food as the Hispanic culture does. I can apply what I learned and connect more with the Hispanic culture by trying out new spices when I cook. I think the knowledge I gained from completing this project will help me appreciate other cultures’ foods more. Refried beans are a very common dish, but I don’t think most people realize how long it takes to make them. I know I didn’t until I started this project. I feel good

We believe that this is a basket with some açaí berries in it. This basket of grape-looking things, (what seems to be açaí berries), demonstrate the idea of food. This suggests that the ancient Aztec civilizations were able to grow or forage things to eat. We think that these things are açaí berries, because they are purple-ish black, small and round, the way açaí berries are supposed to look. Açaí berries are found in Mexico. We believe that the Aztecs may have had to move across a large area of land to collect and pick these berries, because the berries are in a basket, an easy to handle container. Moving across a big area of land requires a container to hold the berries, and in this case, a basket is what they used. This also shows that

Imagine a world without Tex-Mex foods. People would not be able to go to Taco Bell anytime of the day, learn about the mexican culture, and america would not have its prideful cuisine. Tex-mex is not considered mexican food but it is known as “America's first original regional cuisine” (Alarcon). Many people believe that tex-Mex is just food that mexicans of Texas eat, but that is untrue. People of all cultural backgrounds eat the original and delicious Tex -mex cuisine.

Most people do not look at the ingredients on anything they use. While doing research, I realized that corn is in practically everything. When it comes to food products that include corn, I use quite a bit. Popcorn, tortillas de maiz, tortilla chips, tostadas, frozen corn, hominy for posole and menudo, and masa used to make tamales, sopes, and gorditas are a few of them. Corn plays a very important role in Mexican cuisine and I use most of the foods listed many times a month. Though I will say the hominy for posole and menudo is more of a special occasion dish and is used a bit less frequently. For favorites, I would have to say popcorn and masa are at the top of my list. These are the products that people know for sure that corn is a part of.

The food in Texas is an important part of the culture and history of the people. The Barbeque and Tex-Mex food are two of the biggest and most important. The BBQ and Tex-Mex in Texas are just better in Texas than anywhere else. The mix of traditional Texan foods and traditional Mexican foods created a staple in Texas with Tex-Mex. The mix of authentic food create a great new taste in food.

Before the show begins, everyone was sitting around waiting on someone ti give us permission to eat the snack that was prepared for this event. Once one person got up, so did everyone else. The snack that was prepared for us were Mexican food. The Mexican food that was provided for us was avocado, cheese, and much more. I didn't enjoy the food because I'm not a big fan of Mexican food. I did enjoy the lemonade and cheese. After everyone was done eating there, the show begin. At the beginning of the show, there was a speaker named Ricky. Ricky was the coach of this dance. He taught this dance team everything he knew. First, he started off by telling us where we were from, places he has been, and much more. He also talked about his dance team

I was also raised in a very simple, southern background. My family loves to cook southern style food. I am like you, I do not really care for fried food. I guess its because I was raised eating so much of it, over time I just got tired of it and wanted to eat a bit healthier. I love Mac n Cheese, I could honestly eat it with every single meal. My family gathers together a lot, and we will play music but no one really dances. We do not have any special traditions as far as types of music or dances either; we keep it really simple. When my family gets together, its simple like your family, it mainly consists of everyone bringing a food item, and enjoying each others company.

Mexican tacos yes Mexican taco´s NOT them Taco Bell tacos . I come from a small family . But every once in awhile we like to gather the whole family and make a bunch of different types of tacos . It's like taco's bring the family together . It's a thing we did since I was little that's why i'm so close to me family .

Growing up I always enjoyed going to Mexican restaurants. I had always believed that is what Mexican food was. Large portions to one person of mainly beans, yellow rice, with something in a tortilla. In my current relationship, with a lovely man from Sinaloa, Mexico, I found that what I thought was, in fact, not true. There’s a whole lot more to the food of Mexico that I had never really thought about. In the Sinaloa region the food isn’t served in a large portion to one person, it's cooked in large portions to feed a larger family. Now the basic breakfast is eggs, homemade beans, cut up hot dogs, with panela cheese topped with ketchup. You then either eat with a fork or more typically torn up tortilla to scoop up the breakfast. Lunch you'll

Many times the first thing that a person learns about a country is about the nation cuisine. From the connection of hamburgers and the United States, to the bond of pasta to Italy, each country seems to have particular food and cooking that they have become synonymous with. Often though it is overlooked how these nationalised dishes came to be in the first place. Examples can be seen when differentiating between the modern countries of The Republic of India, The United Mexican States, and the French Republic. For these states the foundation of a national cuisine has come from many different influences, from their role in colonization, their relationship between food and class, and to the integration of their regional foods within the nation’s

Dishes such as delicious grilled chicken marinated with fajita sauce with a side of eggs abstain the idea of a “healthy restaurant”. However, Dino’s eatery satisfies the customer’s taste buds and hunger. Their variety of superb breakfast burritos. The way the scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and hash browns merge together complimented with avocados, onions, green onions, and tomatoes are the best way to start a morning. The food served is very identical to the food on their menu. Dino’s doesn’t give off to be something it isn’t. Therefore, I would not say they cast off any certain Halo Effect. The restaurant heavily focuses on breakfast and lunch with varieties of hamburgers, burritos, Mexican breakfasts, and American breakfasts such as their

When my Grandparents immigrated to America from Italy, they held on tightly to their Italian culture. One of the things they will not let go of is the prestigious Italian food they grew up having. They wanted to pass on their love of Italian dishes onto their children, who would then pass it down to their grandchildren. Make no mistake about it they passed down their extreme love of Italian food down to us, but due to the fact that we grew up in the heart of Texas our food preferences are a little different. My brother and I not only love the sweet Italian food we grew up having at grandma’s house growing up, we also love us some Tex-Mex food, good barbecue, and Cajun food. This
