anyone that's willing to go the long way to preserve recipes and culture has my respect. bravo
If you knew our culture we wouldn't sell tamales like that guy in the video 😐
What, are you a bunch of communists? lol
Alex• what I think he means, is that most of us aren’t willing to go that long to preserve our culture/lineage.
Abig Dongo it's called being conscious, aware, giving meaning to life.
Try it instead of throwing trendy words around that you don't even know the meaning of!
I dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my password. I would love any tips you can give me.
I love this video. Not because of the food, which is sublime. I love it because this man is reconnecting with his earliest memories, with his granny and with generations past through the food.
And that made me cry
Likewise. I wept as he described with such tenderness the connection to his Grandmother and lineage.
It's fake, dummy. Haven't you noticed the way of talking only came around recently like the valley girl accent from reality tv?
He seems like a humble person . I hope he continues his successful business. God bless him
NOSTALGIC_23_ BRAND great narrator too
Do not forget he also got premium looks, buy as you see I got shinny hair!
he sure is.. the food was great
squirtmph lol
“I think food is key to keeping your memories alive.” Man, I love that. I have so many fond memories that resonate with a certain food. I love food.
Knowing that these recipes have never been written down, whenever I make something that my child loves I carefully write out the recipe and put it in a special box for them when they are grown. When I am gone they'll still be able to make the foods I made with love and remember their childhood.
Ruby Twilite this is such an amazing idea!!!
@@easykinaka Its not so much a collection of 'great cuisine' but something more valuable and priceless, a collection of childhood memories.
i ain't crying, other ppl are cryin😭😭😭
Ruby Twilite You are amazing. I lost my dad when I was 12 and my mom when I was 14... I wish so much that I could remember how to make several of her recipes. The gift of food and memories that you are leaving for them is priceless.
If my mom did this:
1: *Just about anything but be careful with Chinese food*
2: Coconut water.
This man has so much passion for what he does it's hard not to watch him work
I ended up in tears after this video. Thank You for reminding me of such an amazing time in my life. I learned so very much back then about what family really means.
Love and respect to the Mexican culture because nobody does it like we do!! ❤💯🏆
Green Giant jealous
His story of him finding his grandmother's recipe is so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes. Its truly a gift to find yourself back in those moments that you can call bliss and remember loved ones you have lost. 💗 I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to some day taste these tamales💗
In the Mexican culture, you have no idea how important is or was the grandmother's relationship with the grand children. Grandmothers were or are a rolemodel in a family
Bet the crew was coughing their lungs out with the chiles hehe
lmao they were ;p
Actually, that only applies to fresh chilies not dried chiles.
@@DeeOne88 Dog, if you crush up a bunch of dried chiles to make a seasoning, it's going to get into the air. Think about how they actually get treated in a kitchen environment, not how they act sitting in a bag.
@@seymourglass26 I don't have to think about how they get "treated" in the kitchen because I experienced it with my mother when she cooked. As a kid I remember playing super Nintendo and all of a sudden I get a whiff of that fresh chile being blended/cooked and I would start coughing my lungs out. Whenever she cooked with dried chiles no such thing would ever happen.
@@DeeOne88 A single example doesn't create a logical rule. Dried chiles only give off less of that aroma because they lack the moisture to do it. He clearly rehydrates his chiles and smelling that liquid will make you choke if you are sensitive.
Gracias,yo estoy luchando por hacer tamal sabrosos y usted me dió fuerzas,seguiré practicando y anotando que me falla para corregirlo,vivo en México pero por mi edad ya no me contratan y como no tuve estudios pues hago ventas entre ellos tamales a veces pues si es trabajo ,feliz año 2020,
Respect to this man for keeping his culture alive with love and hardwork.
What a spiritual and connected human being. Mucho Amor para este hombre ❤
This video is amazing. The pure passion and love comes through so well.
Mostly greed. If he was really into our culture he would've given the tamales away for free
@Agatha z really what? Give away tamales?
In Korea town area of Los Angeles, There a lady who sold Mole tamales on the corner.. They were amazing! Best tamales I've ever had.. Kuddos to this guy for connecting with his grandma's spirit
This is America!!! I am from Hawaii of three different ethnicities. What I love of my hone town is how people like this man brought and shared with everyone...his love of his natural country:). The same love that has been shared by all in our country from theirs to ours to theirs and ours❤️. He is a master of tamales. And one day I must have one❤️
I’ve never met this man may never have the opportunity to do so, but I couldn’t help but love him like a brother when he spoke of his abuelas, and showed his humility and amazing determination to replicate those lost recipes!
Like they say on Star Trek, “Live Long And Prosper!” Thanks for your dedication!
Wow. That’s beautiful. My mom never made tamales, but my friends’ family did. I’ve never had anything has amazing as a freshly-made tamale.
I've been eating tamales since I was in the womb, and I've never heard of someone combining chicken mole and tamales. I'm salivating right now.
THATS WHAT I SAID! :D
It looks nasty to be honest I don't think the flavors would really mix together
I don't see how they wouldn't go together but okay, haven't you ever ate Mole with a tortilla
It's a common thing in the south of Mexico.
@@fucklove23_73 tortillas don't have lard
What. My family ate chicken mole in tamales all the time. Maybe it's depending on where in Mexico your family is from.
“Girl, you know what happened to so and so?”!! lol. That’s def kitchen talk🤣🤣. I love it❤️❤️
Wow. This man’s grandmother would be so proud! You rock dude!
So much love. It's true, people really don't know how much love goes into making tamales from scratch, but seeing them enjoy them and want more makes it worth it.
I remember when my grandma accidentally brought tofu instead of cheese for the tamales, she still made them taste good..........also, i forget how much culture we have, i take it for granted sometimes.
Dude its your grandma of course they are gonna taste good
Mexican grandmas always make food taste good.
Yooooo, switching tofu for cheese on accident is definitely a thing my abuelita would do 😂
dile a tú abuelita to leak the recipe para los tamales con tofu porfa 😭
@@sinaiulliel1700 ikr
You can feel his passion in his work. ❤️
He really cherishes his grandmother so much, it shows.
Hermano. Que Dios te bendiga. El haber podido hacer la receta de abuelita es un logro. Sigue adelante vgracias por esa receta
The way he laugh, precious
A huge part of a culture is focused around food. I admire this gentleman for making the food of his culture the way they have for years. It preserves the knowledge for the next generation.
MARAVILLOSA HISTORIA, FELICITO AL SR. QUE PRODUCE TAMALES, Y POR SALVAR TAN EXQUISITAS RECETAS TRADICIONALES DE MÈXICO. UN ORGULLO SR. FELICIDADES
La dedicación y amor a lo que hace la perfeccion.
GRACIAS de PUERTO RICO
BENDICIONES
Estas entre los mejores.
I would LOVE to finally try a tamale! But here in Germany it is quite difficult to get one.
Edit: ok, quite a lot of work!
I make them every year around Christmas and give them to my friends they're soooooooo good
Lol , come to texas
wie recht du hast!!! -.-
just get the right ingredients and they will transport you to the past. remember we didn't had the wheel, so we did everything by walking and running. maybe all the time it takes for the foreigner and american ingredients is just right. and get yourself a METATE and MOLCAJETE ;)
Yeah but y'all got brats and schnitzel y'all either with yogurt and apple sauce right with other side items of course
Señores esto se llama cultura culinaria.
Gracias por preservarla.
His passion and dedication to making them is admirable. Hope to try them soon!
The sense of smell has a powerful way of connecting us with memories. Awesome video!
amazing work here! super inspire
Shout out to grandma's for being amazing cooks and loving mentors.
Who knew how much work making "real" authentic tamales was.
I didn't, but I love them.Thanks for the informative video.
Bravo no cual kiera se anima a entrarle ala chinga de hacer tamales y más hacerlos ala forma antigua Bravo 👍
solo alguien con al pasión de cocinar lo mejor para las personas que quiere, ama y aprecia, y ver como su esfuerzo es agracido, entendera pq este hombre pasa por todo ese trabajo! excelente amigo!!
I know you understand me mostly I don't want to speak Spanish but we both know that we don't sell tamales we give them away to friends and family and sometimes random people.
@@jackingofftoraelilblack2342 grudge?🤔
@@caribepole what?
@@jackingofftoraelilblack2342hombre que yo entiendo lo que dices, incluso entiendo que hay unas preparaciones que por tradición general son "oficiales", pero no quiere decir que tengas ser tan majadero en la manera en la que hablas acerca de el y de su manera de prepararlo, yo soy de Puerto Rico y trabajo mayormente con sea food, y preparo el ceviche de una manera en la que cualquier peruano me demandaria, pero otros no y lo preparo para boricuas y les encanta, pero estoy MUY conciente de que no es "Peruano" mi ceviche, pereces el tipico cliente que te critica por no hacerlo a su manera, saludos!
@@caribepole I don't eat sea food. But no I wouldn't judge on how you make the food but the flavor of it. If it tastes bad then I'm gonna start complaining about the food tasting bad.
Bravo!! I know that your grandma is proud of you!!
What an absolutely lovely human being...really touching.
Mis respetos!!! Por todo el trabajo que le pones a los tamales!!! Que dios lo bendiga
Love watching these videos! So happy that there our cultures continue and that people don’t let them die with our ancestors
Salute! Keeping family and cultural traditions alive!
La gastronomía mexicana es bien EXTENSA y aquí nos presenta una de recetas más ancestrales de su gastronomía, LA comida mexicana y la cultura van cogidas de la mano ,este joven demostró su pasión por lo que hace 👍👏🍽🍽
Se me hizo un nudo en la garganta bonitos recuerdos de mi abuela me quedaron tambien... Muy buen viedo saludos desde texas..
I appreciate anyone who puts that much work into preparing their food, because REALLY good food that feeds your soul takes some time and effort to make...
This is probably the best food video ever. Incredible narrator. Food looks delicious and amazing process - nothing spared no corners cut. Above all is his deep almost spiritual connection with his grandma and his indigenous roots - just Amazing. Thanks for posting. Greetings and respect to all from Durango Mexico
Beautiful video, very heart warming.
What a beautiful way of seeing cooking. The connection to our heritage and culture is kept alive through cooking. I am glad he is keeping it alive.
I've never had tamales but now that I have seen the process I want some
Estos si son verdaderos tamales! Felicitaciones por rescatar la receta de la abuelita y por tu arduo trabajo.
just in time for the tamal and rosca week that’s coming up para el día de los reyes my family eats leftover rosca and tamales for breakfast the whole week after kings day and i’m not mad about it. love how every household have their own recipes! it’s a true labor of love ❤️🇲🇽
Eres grande entre los grandes. Preservar las tradiciones, aparte poeta! Entendí perfectamente todo lo que dijiste. Soy una mexicana viviendo en Alemania ya hace mas de 10 años. Hago mis tamales también
I love this man. So wise.
That was fantastic. I don’t speak a word of Spanish but I had to watch the whole thing and read all the subtitles. That kind of respect for family tradition is laudable.
Lots of respect to this guy the time and effort he puts in to making his tamales is just incredible!
I’m going there today lol
Give us a report after, those tamales looks delicious
Lucky, I’m
Watching this in San Francisco California
Where exactly is the restaurant located??
Immortal Jungle Beats New York
@@keniamandujano946
lol Where like what exact address? What street/avenue/boulevard? Thanks 😎
Nunca dejes morir tus tradiciones muy bonito .
Un proceso muy largo pero vale mucho la pena. Esos si son tamales 😋, me encanta que sigues conservando lo que realmente es el proceso de hacer tamales. Se ven riquísimos que Dios te bendiga a ti y tu negocio. Y bendita tu abuela que desde el cielo le encanta lo que estás haciendo.
Master of his Craft. Respect. 🙌🏼
I can't even imagine what this tastes like! Wow!
what a crazy amount of work! I admire him.
Absolutely fascinating.
My Dad used to make tamales very much like he is doing. I used to help him make the nixtamal ( corn wash and gtind them) . Lots of work. My Dad used to sell them on weekends.
Thank you for the inspiration my friend. Now I’m going to do the same thing my grandma used to make. God bless you.
Such a humble artist
Que ser humano tan especial. Aprendí mucho viendo este hermoso vídeo.
Que viva la cultura y que sigamos apreciando el sagrado labor de nuestros antepasados.
Men !!!
Yo tengo un cernero identico al tuyo
Me hiciste suspirar al ver tu video ya que yo hago el mismo proseso
Yo compro la harina fresca por cuestiones de espacio, tiempo y equipo
Pero el sernir la harina le da una textura sin igual que solo los del centro del pais de México o alrededor del CDMX podemos reconocer e identificar
Soy del Estado de México pero vivo en Chicago hace muchos años y mi historia y recuerdo es igual que la tuya ya que mis padres fueron tamaleros por oficio y de ese recuerdo yo aprendí mucho ..
Mi proseso es similar al tuyo prácticamente me vi me identifique contigo por que asi soy
Desde lavar mis chiles sernir la harina lavar hojas batir a mano Men.....
Es una experiencia única pero una buna friega pero la satisfacción y el paladar al probar ese tipo de tamal lo distingue ante muchos tipos de tamal...
Ver tu video quiza es una señal para ya hiniciar mi negocio en chicago
Cuando hago es solo para la familia
Oye cuando haras tamales me preguntan pero x la friega no hago tan seguido
Les encantan .....
Si recuerdas o viste alguna vez en mexico en los molinos hay sernidoras y batidoras mecanidas esa es una buena opción para ahorrar tiempo y esfuezo
Por que la serrnida es trabajosa y tardada la batida una cansada pero da gusto lo disfrutas mas si lo haces con el corazón
Es mi respuesta cada que me preguntan que le pongo amis tamales con una sonrrisa respondo les pongo corazón..
Animo te deseo todo el exito del mundo
Que viva nuestra tradiciones por generaciones ....
PSDD: no olvides incluir las guajolotas a tu menu
This was awesome, absolutely loved it and these are the best tamales I've seen. I'd love to try them! He has such a wonderful spirit and is an excellent chef.
Def gotta get me some tamales soon!! I do respect the love that goes into keeping tradition and making delicious food❤️❤️
Great story. the tamales sound wonderful. one for the bucket list
Beautiful, almost made me cry…
This story is absolutely wonderful! I guess I would have a similar response to finally achieving the same for my grandma's Knödel and Apfelstrudel ;D
Well not that wonderful we don't sell our culture like that. We usually give out tamales for free and even better looking and tasting.
I felt the same way when I rediscovered my passion for cooking. Recreating the flavours of my childhood (although not this complex) really made me feel like home again.
Alex• well he has a business so I don't think giving them out for free is STONKS
@@jackingofftoraelilblack2342 lol nobody gives free tamales jajaja
Ya me hiciste llorar al recordar Pueblita de mis amores
Such a magical treat
Congratulations! Las Abulas tienen un don especial en la cocina. Yo fui una afortunada te entiendo muy bien. Que bonita forma de honrar a tus abuelas. Que logró 😋
WHAT A LABOR OF LOVE!
Wow! you've made me miss my grandma even more. Now I must go try your tamales.
I WAS BLOWN AWAY THE FOOD WAS SO DELICIOUS AND THE DRINKS TO. FOR ANYONE WILLING TO TRAVEL REAL MEXICAN TAMAL THIS IS THE SPOT TO GO.
Jaw dropping amazing
Beautiful words that get lost in translation... incredible passion Fernando has for the art of connecting the soul of his ancestors to the taste of his tamales!
A labor of love...I love tamales
Oh man. Mole tamales? Perfection.
Nothing better than a good tamale 😋
Woow mis respetos , hacer tamales es dificil , pero preparar El tamal y El mole de cero es sumamente asombroso .
Absolutely speechless
Factory tamal is one of my favorite spots in the city everybody who hasnt been needs to check it out.
Me gusto Este video y Todo lo que me enseno gracias
Que hermoso trabajo. 💜💜 yo también quiero hacerlos así. Solo que tendré que ir a probar los de el primero 😊
Talk about homemade thats alot of work ,i appreciate ure hard work i wish i could taste them all the work u put in making them its ✌amazing
and rightfully you should be so proud and entitled to the connection of family, something some take for granted and some would cast aside without giving it another thought. wish I could have just a bite, have been a suffering white boy in Texas trying to get near a step of making great tamales for my whole aged life.May God Continue to Bless you and your Family.
God bless this man ! 🙏🏽🤲🏽
The story is fascinating. The tamales look delicious!
wow that is dedication! I bet they taste awesome
Yup your tamales look just like my grandma makes them and im so happy about this video
❤️ I want to learn this..Thank you for this
thats alot of work but its all natural no chemicals or preservatives
bruh, he started the process adding calcium oxide to the corn 😂 it is full of chemicals both on the industrial food and home-made food
😂 nothing is natural anymore, unlesss you basically grow it your self, raise cattle(grass fed) and butcher it yourself, it is pretty much processed and preserved!
It's certified natural especially when it's made in NYC this way from basically scratch
My second time watching this they look so good and its pretty cool how they make the masa from scratch hard work something i wouldnt do😄 maybe one of these days i'll try it out but for now store bought is ok for me🤣👍
I will definitely be there one day to enjoy these tamales 💕✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
