- Today we are going to Mexico City eat, in particular, I am looking for huitlacoche quesadillas. Not sure what huitlacoche is? Well, it's a corn fungus that tastes like a slightly more acidic mushroom and it's totally delicious.

As a Mexican expatriated in the US, I can't deny I cried watching this. Happy tears of pride and love. But also homesick tears. I miss quesadillas (SIN queso).
Sin means without, right?
@@MultiKswift yes :)
How do you make them stick together?
@@thesupergreenjudy Usually the fillings are moist (they are mostly "guisados") and the tortillas are freshly handmade, so they are chewy and super pliable. Trust me, it works.
Uh oh haha those be fighting words. I’m pro queso 🧀
The quesadilla without cheese confused my Mexican family when we went to Mexico City about 18 years ago. My brother-in-law who’s from Sonora Mexico ordered a quesadilla and we were surprised that it didn’t come with cheese. We thought they got his order wrong. We learned a lesson that day that we have to order it con queso. I grew up eating quesadillas made with corn tortillas and queso oaxaca or queso chihuahua ☺️😁
Es literal CDMX contra el resto del pais
That sounds as stupid as ordering a cheeseburger with cheese.
"Like mushrooms, but, if the mushrooms did a lot more during their work day"
This is the best description, I love it 😂
Hi Beryl!! thank you for letting me be a part of your video and I'm so glad you enjoyed the Churros and your trip!❤😌💫 I love this community so much!! Sending hugs and love to everyone!
Sending love and hugs back to you sweetheart!!!
@@Tavieme thank you 😊
Awesome living in Wales! Spreading la raza ✌️😎 🇲🇽

My family immigrated to the US when I was a child. We moved to rural Indiana, and I vividly remember the one time I brought mexican candy (like the ones you tried) to my 5th grade class. Not one person liked them and they all insisted it was not candy since they were not strictly sweet. To this day, when I STILL get that reaction from adults who try my country's sweets, I am baffled. I love the complex flavors of Mexican candy. Thanks for trying them and thanks even more for loving them for what they are.
I like Mexican candy especially the red spicy, sour and somewhat sweet Tamarindo. Watermelon is good too. Addicting.
Please tell us some names of Mexican Candy. I am intrigued. I’d love to try some. I’ve lived in Japan for 60 years. Treats are really different all over the world. Japan has all kinds of treats that stay at home Americans would find hard …. Very new…. Strange maybe.
@@Pammellam I love that you said ‘stay at home’ Americans. People always generalize about Americans calling us ignorant and under-exposed. But that is not true about all of us. Some of us travel, learn other languages and are interested, curious and excited about learning about other cultures.
Please do a whole Mexico series. That would be amazing. In fact, it would be amazing to see Beryl travel all over trying street foods. 😃
Yess Beryl should go around Oaxaca and Guatemala trying out unique local street foods! So much ive never even heard of, whereas here in Northern Europe theres much less variety in foods, since the level of plant and animal diversity in cold places is lower.
Thanks Beryl! This was so much fun! And, perhaps if Covid ever ends, you can travel the world doing more "woman on the street" tastings! Everything looked so interesting and now I want to go to a candy shop in every country I visit. That brittle looked like birdseed and I'd love to try it!
Yes to this!!
The brittle stuff comes in Mexican groceries by the checkout
I used to struggle to know what souvenirs to bring back to my family from trips. I haven't traveled since covid, but candy was usually a hit when I did travel and you can bring it through customs.
Extra points for matching the studio outfit to the travel outfit! Well played teleport!
In NYC across from the hospital I work at, there is a Mexican Antojitos cart which sells among other things quesadillas con huitlacoche (among other flavors.) It's delicious. Can confirm it's like an earthier mushroom. They mix theirs with corn also so I guess you have the corn and the corn fungus.
Do you mind sharing the location of the cart Mexican Antonio’s cart? I would love to try it
@@marianranijayasekera9509 It's across from Bellevue. 28th and 1st. Don't know the hours but I go for lunch occasionally
I recently had quesadillas with huitlacoche and flor de calabasa (pumpkin/squash flower). It was delicious. I hate mushrooms!! I was 51 yrs old when I tried it.
Yesss! Always new things to try!
@Beryl Shereshewsky And I am Mexican too. I'm not a big fan and stay away from mushrooms, so when my aunt (also not a fungus fan) made them in quesadillas (with a bit of cheese), I tried it. Delicious!!!!
I will always say, nobody really hates mushrooms they just haven't found the right one.
Italians make squash flower into fritters how do they cook them in Mexico?
@@asgharakram ua-cam.com/video/S7W2K2LLYMY/v-deo.html
I love that you give a voice not only to those consuming or trading the food, but to those who cook it as well. I'd love to see more countries!
Once it's safer to travel, Beryl can start doing what she's done during her time in Great Big Story. Travel, eat, and meet the locals. This is so exciting!
BERYL YOU ARE SO AMAZING.
No you
I love that you actually went to Mexico and we got to experience it with you. Your confidence with filming in public (especially in another country) is inspiring to be confident/comfortable in general :)
I think I can shed some light on the quesadilla debate since I was born in Mexico City. The secret behind the name is actually the size of the tortilla. Street tacos are made with small diameter tortillas. Standard quesadillas (with cheese) use larger diameter tortillas. If you want to essentially make a taco using a larger tortilla, you call it a quesadilla instead of a large taco. Whether it has cheese or not.
I didn't realize chilangos (people from Mexico City) were the only ones that did this.
Tamarind can be used as both sweet and sour element. In its unsweetened form form its sour enough to make your tongue click(..ig?) But in a fun way. We have small tamarind toffees here in India too, they're little round balls very fun to have.
Your content is so uniquely presented. Thank you Beryl for taking me to a food tour just from my room!
I just listed Mexico 🇲🇽 and immediately I smiled and clicked 👍
Love love love this video! Please be careful traveling right now though haha
This was filmed a couple months ago 😭
@@BerylShereshewsky Just worried about you, we know you're careful!
Once I started watching this video, I got so hooked up. Beryl, you are an amazing presenter who knows her stuff. Great great great video Beryl. And thank you so much for introducing us to such amazing Mexican foods and candies! ✨
💕thank you!!!
Food debates within a country are always so interesting and hilarious! I never heard about the cheese debate in mexico, I loved it. And people always have a similar expression on their face: the laughter, because its usually a ridicousous and anoyance that people seriously belive that there is an alternative! ^^
Do you have any similar debates in your country?
So, in Finland it's really common to eat crispbread at school. It's dry and has one side with holes/cavities and one without. I feel like every Finnish person has at least once in their life engaged in a conversation about which side you should spread your butter/margarine on :D. I personally do the smooth side (without holes), but some people are adamant about putting their toppings on the side with the cavities, so you'll have more butter inside them haha. I was happy to introduce my Italian husband to this debate when we discovered similar bread in Aldi. (He said he instinctively chose to put his toppings on the side with the cavities :D)
Another common sandwich related one is whether you should put the cheese or ham on top. (I always do cheese on top.)
In Italy there is a big debate over the fried rice balls and what they're called. Some people say arancini. Others say arancine. May not seem like a big difference but it makes for a lively debate 😂
@@Ginatus haha it's exactly the same in Sweden. Rye crispbread is always present in school canteens (as well as lunch restaurants) and when I went to school there were constant debates on whether to put butter on the "rich" side (the one with holes) or the "poor" side. We have so much in common 🇫🇮🇸🇪
@Melissa Anna
I went to college in the South in the USA and there, people argue over what is allowed to be called a "dumpling" versus a "biscuit". I've seen people get very heated in this discussion. To me, if it's made of some sort of flour, combined with some sort of dairy, and a little seasoning and fat, then simmered in a stew, hey, that's a dumpling. Don't care if it was rolled out and cut up into little diamonds first, or spooned over the pot and dropped in. Whatever the recipe, whatever the method, that combo of ingredients and heat equals deliciousness.
@@Ginatus Another debate - my mother was English and so I grew up brewing tea, and bringing the pot to the table, with a little pot of sugar and a little pot of milk. The milk went in first, then the tea, then the sugar. There is no other order, folks! My American friends thought this was so weird - I still do it now probably out of force of habit no matter what cup or mug I will be drinking my tea from. (Wanna know why it's done this way? When England went to China and brought back sets of expensive china to their freezing cold little island, they soon discovered pouring scalding hot tea into a stone-cold cup made of porcelain led to a cracked cup! So putting the milk in first, then slowly pouring in the tea tempers the tea enough so that the cup does not break. And sugar dissolves easier in hot liquids than cold, so hence the sugar going in last. Interesting, eh?)
I've been so used to seeing Beryl in her living room that the whole time she's trying the quesadilla I kept thinking it was green screen 🤣 this was a fun video!
Just wanted to tell you how much we appreciate your bright, wonderful personality! It's really cool to experience how happy you seem. As a long time foody, it's always a joy to see young people experience the world's classics. Keep smiling!!!
We have such similar candy in india, they also sell tamarind candy and the brittle kind of thing, it's made of jaggery and peanuts instead of sugar. Even if we are so far from Mexico we share a few things
In Guyana we have tamarind balls, which are the tamarind meat mixed with sugar and pepper, rolled into a ball.💕
Agree! We have the cucumbers too
I love tamarind! I think I first tried the flavor when I was 30 years old, wish it was easier to find where I live.
@@annhans3535 Oh so coincidental. One of things I did as a child and still do is to pound tamarind, jaggery( it is like palm sugar) salt and red chillie powder together and make it into balls and eat it.
@@akankshapatwari4167 It's so yummy. One of my tenants made some and he is from Africa (not sure which country) and gave it to me but he put way too much pepper.
Thanks for wearing the monarch butterfly earrings! Nice touch of Mexican culture 🤙🏼✌🏼👌🏼
Huitlacoche sounds amazing, im gonna keep an eye out for the can ones.
Yes you should I also left a recipe in the description to make quesadillas!
I love huitlacohe! I work in ag research and I am surrounded by corn. Everyone at work is always excited when the sweet corn is ready every summer. I get excited because that means corn smut! I get weird looks as I go hunting for those weird grey lumps of delicious.
I’m Mexican American, and I have never tried this. Thank you for including my culture in your content 🙏🇲🇽💕 your smile and demeanor is so contagious 😍
Why has Netflix not hit you up for a travel food show yet, stumps me! I’d watch the heck out of that!
Thanx Beryl - don't practice too much part of your charm is your authenticity!
4:35 I love this lady, and this video!
Years ago when the great Tony Bourdain died I thought there would never again be someone who showcased the world and it’s people in the masterful, educational, funny, and thoughtful way that he did. Your channel is certainly very different, but the way you show us not only these foods, but the people and stories behind them reminds me a lot of him. Keep going
I love huitlacoche. You should try the mix of Huitlacoche and Goat Cheese inside and omelette is Delicious and another way to use it not only in quesadillas.
Oh wow I want to try this
Ah! It's so cool to have a change of pace and see you at an actual location and not just ur home :DD
Unrelated, but that telephone is so cute!
1:12
Its so awesome you got a local director to help produce this video. It adds so much depth to the video than just a foreigners perspective!
What a great feeling that Beryl gets us experience a good field trip safely in the comforts our own home while experiencing the beauty of Mexico during this pandemic! And wow I just realized it her i think 2nd time???? 1st in Great Big Story times if i'm not wrong?
Pelon Pelerico is AMAZING!! I love buying some and having my students try it after they read about a character eating tamarind in our fall novel. 90%+ fall in love with it as well. 😁
OMG some of my favorite candies
I'm not Mexican but absolutely love their culture and food, my mouth was watering xD
Going along with all this praise for Beryl, you could easily say she's a gem.
I think your name rocks.
Seriously though it's a lovely name for a lovely person.
Beryl, you can't just pack this beautiful shot of huitlacoche on a BLUE tortilla, this absolutely ridiculous phone and Hottie McHotterson into the same 10 seconds (1:06-1:16). Too much beauty to process! 🤯🤩 Barely a minute in and you already made my day!
Seriously he's fine af
I have heard of this mushroom before, very interesting ingredient to talk about!
This video also came with a bonus, your friend Joey was very nice for the eyes!
That was super fun!!! Thank you!
Oh this was delightful! Thank you 🙏🏼
This video was very fun. Loved it.
♡ All your content is great, thank you!
So glad you got to take a trip! Wonderful video
Such a beautiful and fun video.. loved it
Such a fun vid! Congrats!
This was so fun!! Thanks for taking us with you!
You did a great job, as always! Love this style!
This was a good one.
All rounder video.
Loved it!
Amazing video as always. 😊
You did great!! Keep doing what you do! We love your videos!
You did great! I hope you had a fun and delicious trip to Mexico City!
Fabulous! I’d love to try huitlacoche. Yum… and what a fun video! Loved seeing you on location, too 👍🏼
That was fun! You did a great job of combining videos.
I love huitlacoche and would really love to eat it again in tacos or quesadillas. Alas, that’s not available in my country, so I’ll have to settle with vicariously enjoying it through you. Thanks!
Your content gives me so much joy, thank you 😊
Nice to see the Great big story format here!! Love it as usual!!❣❣
This was awesome! Keep doing you, Beryl!
Love love LOVE your videos. I am always so happy when you post! A little sunshine in a cloudy sky💕
I enjoyed that! Thanks Beryl!
You did great! Love this style of video, honestly love all your videos to be honest. Thanks for brightening my day.
Yay the book is back. Love this video
Love the video, Beryl! Love the Beryl notebook snips, so fun and creative!
Your vlogs are so warm, I am always smiling throughout the videos.
Here in León we add Cotija cheese to our cucumber. And most any other fruit at the street vendor's stand.
There is something called Caldo de oso (translated as bears broth) which is cucumber, jícama an onion all chopped and mixed with pineapple vinegar, chilli, salt, line and topped with Cotija cheese
Finally! I've been waiting for this! 😄 I'm glad that you came here! You should visit Coyoacán and Xochimilco someday, the food market in Coyoacán has this delicious "esquites con tuétano" (kernels with bone marrow), Xochimilco has a tour very early in the morning to watch the sunrise and then eat on Arca Tierra, a very nice restaurant, literally you feel like you are living a normal day for an Aztec, it's crazy and fascinating 👌
Very big thumbs up good to see you having fun!
I didn't think I could love your videos more, I adored this Mexico vlog! It was great to see you trying street food, hopefully you can do more of these in the future.
Beryl, you did great! I look forward to more videos like this 😁👍🏽
By Far my favorite "episode' Thank you Beryl!!!! 🌹💚
I was so excited to see the transition from your living room to mexico!!! I literally jumped up in my seat!!! I’m definitely craving all of this!
This was super FUN! And it is wonderful seeing you broadening your horizons w/outside shoots too. oh and make sure your sis knows we appreciate her helping out !
Great episode Beryl! You did a wonderful job going on location and reviewing the foods! It's always tough to go out of ones comfort zone, but you did awesome. Thanks for showing us Mexico City through street food. Yum!
Enjoyed seeing you out and about in Mexico :)
Beryl!!! I loved this video so much. It was so comforting to watch. I hope you do more travel videos like this
I love the way you describe the taste of the quesadillas ! I can all most enjoy it with you ! Thanks for a great vid .
Loving this!
This video was so good! The value production was awesome. I felt like we were traveling along!
LOVED this video!!!
You did great being outside and on camera, Beryl! This was a really cool episode to watch since you blended being at home and outside of your comfort zone. I love your videos
Love, love, love this episode! Mexican food is at the top of my favorite cuisines, so I especially enjoyed this video. (And your filmmaker friend is really cute too!)
Beryl! Thank you for actually taking us to another country and enabling us to learn new things as usual. Im grateful for you
Thanks for taking us on a trip to Mexico City!!
ooo I love this idea of street videos!! 😍
You did great Beryl! Your energy & cultured curiosity is always appreciated💜
It's so much fun watching you taste new things; your expression never disappoints! This channel has made me even more interested in trying foods from other countries...and I have ALWAYS been interested! I was in St. Louis for my birthday and we went to Sammee, an Afgani restaurant. We tried a bunch of different dishes and it was all great. We'll look for something else next time!
Hey Beryl! 🤣 OMG was so cool you tried the candies. Pulparindo will be forever my fav! Thanks a lot for letting me be part of this, and thanks for sharing this tasty and super interesting part of my country. 🤩
Heartfelt video. 💖 I love how you always capture raw footage, which makes me reminisce of the times I walked through Mexico eating all the yummy street food. I know your not a huge fan of spicy food, so gotta say, you were brave to try all the spicy treats. I have learned so much from your videos and believe it or not it’s like I’m traveling on my couch without having to catch a flight. Thank you so much for supporting all people from around the world and sharing their food recommendations.
Awesome video! I hope that one day soon you'll be able to travel more and make more videos like this.
You look great Beryl! Shall have nothing to be worried about!
Really enjoy the outdoor concept 😻
I had it once, and it was delicious. Love your content.
Beryl - LOVED LOVED LOVED everything about this episode!
You did good! This is wonderful 💖 Always a fan!!
Beryl, I LOVE your field trips and "On the street" commentary! It was fun seeing your sister too.
Perfect video! I needed cheese-free recipes!
¡Muchas gracias y Shabbat shalom! Seriously, wonderful & very informative. Thanks!
Well done as always, Beryl! It was fun to see you out on the street and trying a new format. Hearing you talk about being a bit uncomfortable but wanting to get better is a good reminder that it’s ok to try new things and not immediately be perfect at them. That said, you were amazing and seemed like you were enjoying the food and the atmosphere. Thanks for bringing us along.
