    Seeing how they are deeply connected to korean culture and, in this episode, like mexican food I think they should check out the large korean community in pesqueria, nuevo leon, mexico. It is a community that started when a kia factory moved to the town of pesqueria and some koreans along with it as well. Since the factory moved there in 2015 there has been a booming community of close to 200k residents that, before the kia factory moved, had only about 20k inhabitants. This was because so many koreans started moving there and was soon after being called "pescorea" to show that the town had such a heavy korean influence. It said that its such a big community that a lot of the residents haven't needed to learn spanish because they only interact with other koreans. While other koreans have adopted their new home and started to mix korean and mexican culture. Y'all should try and see about going and filming in "pescorea" to see what its like for this channel or korean englishmen.

      If only the people appreciate the people as much as the food. Lots of Americans like to shove their faces with Mexican food, then turn around and hate on Mexicans. A great example would be those Republican politicians who are anti-Mexican and then out of nowhere show up in a Mexican restaurant the next day. Not to mention them taking vacations to Mexico.... Mexicans should start gatekeeping and only share to those who show genuinely love.

There are so many beautiful must-see places (like the “pueblos mágicos” for example) all throughout the country to explore. And since the country is so big, each region has its own unique cuisine with tons of local specialties to discover (the tortas ahogadas from Guadalajara are my favorite!).

    As a fellow Mexican, I’m so proud of the dishes that were introduced. Since most of the dishes present my media is always tacos!
    The “Sopes” dish is actually a sort of flat corn doughy tortilla that it’s traditionally pinch on the outline of the tortilla to make a sort of plate form. In order to spread black fried beans on the bottom, it’s typically know to use shred chicken, lettuce, and queso fresco “Mexican cheese” to top it off. (1/2)

    • @marshmallow5223

      The mole enchiladas, are actually called “Enmoladas”.
      Mole can be made in multiple different ways, but it depends on the region that you’re are from. Typically most moles have some sort of seeds (ex. pecans,peanuts,sesame seeds, or sometimes even toasted bread) and the OG ingredient Chocolate in order to make this sort of sauce be nutty and creamy. Don’t forget the Chile peppers (passilla and ancho)

I don't know how this compares to the other cultures that JOLLY pulls from in their videos, but I can say definitively that when they ate southern food and gave a depiction of the south and southern culture, they did a damn good job at how they depicted the south (in culture and food). I truly respect the level of care for the region that they gave.

Otherwise, stay in Mexico. No one came into your house and said that you can’t cook a certain way or not speak Spanish( which is a European language btw)🙄
      All the stores where I grew up have Mexican products in them, so I just debunked your claim. I can get carne asada, Sangria, Sidral, aguas frescas, crema, queso fresco, Mexican vegetables and fruit, Mexican candy like pulparindo and Mexican hot chocolate etc.
      Would you expect Americans or anyone not from there , living in Mexico to not assimilate to their culture and only speak English and expect all the Mexicans there to accommodate them?
      You can’t go to any other country and not assimilate so why do you expect to come here and not assimilate to American culture? No one is forcing anyone to not hold on to their traditions and culture as long as it’s not breaking American laws. How about you appreciate all the opportunities that America has, instead of complaining?
