      @@jenifergerrero4021 Culture is definded as a congregation between a countries lifestyle, habits, knowledge, and artistic, scientific and industrial development of a certain group in a certain time span. Therefore a country can´t have many different cultures, it either has a rich culture or a not very rich one. Even though Mexico is one of the most cultural diverse countries in the world, it still has one culture; the mexican one, which was formed by a variety of different occurings, geography, history, coincidences and influences. One example is the colonization.

      Ro Calvo yoy can’t count exactly how many because the United States is so large. Each state could definitely have its own culture, so At least 50. If you want to generalize it however, the south has a very hospitality driven culture. The pacific is a bumbling city kind of deal, along with seafood being popular in food. Texas has their own thing going on and god knows what Alabama is doing lmaoo.

    It seems universal that all cultures want to share their food with other cultures and get a special satisfaction seeing someone try their food. At first I was going to say it about Mexicans, because they're always feeding you and SOOO enjoy your enjoyment of their food. But once I thought about it, it's really something without borders. From Morocco, to Senegal, to Ethiopia, Laos, The Philippines, Somalia, Thailand, everyone I've been lucky enough to befriend over the years, there is always a special pride and bonding you experience when they share their food with you.

    • @JennRighter
      @JennRighter 4 роки тому +2

      But, because this is a video about Mexico, it is a STRONG part of their appreciation to you and you to them when it comes to food. Even if it's something familiar, like their many sauces, when someone makes their family recipe and shares it with you, it is so special and somehow, no matter how similar the ingredients, there is a special flare to every Mexican's cooking.
      I miss my Guatemalan and Mexican coworkers :( I've been in lock down since March 17th and all of the cooks at the restaurant I work at, I miss their friendship and their DELICIOUS food.

Thank you for sharing just a bit of Mexican food and culture from a positive prospect Mike. Sure appreciate it. Because of you, I’m one to of the only Chicanos I have ever seen that shops regularly in a Chinese Market Store! They have a lot of the same things needed for both cultures recipes!

      The fresh made flour tortillas are amazing in Mexico but the corn tortillas are the best when they are made right. But most of south of Mexico doesn't handle flour tortillas, north does. And heads up, there where no flour tortillas in this video, all corn.
