MEXICAN – CHRISTMAS - FOODS “ Christmas is a time to get together with family and friends to celebrate, and food plays a big part in any Mexican Christmas celebration. In Mexico it is customary to have a family dinner late on Christmas Eve (Noche Buena ). Here are some of the foods that are traditionally eaten at Christmastime in Mexico, either at Christmas Eve dinner or during the festivities leading up to Christmas such as las posadas. If you're in Mexico for Christmas, be sure to sample these festive dishes, and if you can't be in Mexico for the holidays, you can add a Mexican touch to your celebration by including some of these foods. Ensalada de Noche Buena The combination of colors of the Mexican Christmas Salad make it particularly festive. This salad usually contains lettuce and beets, but other ingredients vary according to location and the chef's preference, and may include apple, carrot, orange, pineapple, jícama, pecans or peanuts, and pomegranate seeds as a garnish. Mexican Christmas Salad is served at Christmas Eve dinner. Tamales Tamales are cornmeal dumplings which may be prepared with a variety of different fillings. They are wrapped in corn husks (or occasionally banana leaves), and steamed. Because tamales are time consuming to prepare, they are a special holiday food - made a few times throughout the year, in large batches. “ Bacalao “ Bacalao (dried salted codfish) starts showing up in markets and grocery stores throughout Mexico as Christmas approaches. This dish of European origin has become a common component of a traditional Mexican Christmas feast. Bacalao a la Vizcaina is a popular recipe in which the cod is stewed with tomatoes, capers, olives, and potatoes, but it may be prepared in a variety of ways. “ Romeritos “ A green leaf vegetable with small leaves, this plant resembles rosemary, for which it is named . Romeritos are most often served as romeritos en revoltijo , with shrimp cakes and doused in mole . This Mexican Christmas dish is also served during Lent . Pavo Turkey is native to Mexico and is another popular choice for a Mexican Christmas Eve dinner. The Christmas turkey may be roasted, or it may be served with mole, a rich sauce made of ground chiles and other ingredients. “ Buñuelos “ Served with a hot drink, buñuelos make an excellent treat on a cold night. This crispy fried treat is like a sweet tostada which is sprinkled with sugar or doused in syrup. In Oaxaca there are special stands set up at Christmastime selling buñuelos and atole. After enjoying the sweet fritter, you make a wish and throw your clay plate on the ground, where it smashes to bits. This tradition is said to spring from an Prehispanic festivity in which all the dishes were broken at the end of a calendar cycle . Ponche Navideño Mexican hot fruit punch is made with tejocotes (Mexican hawthorn), which look like crab apples but have large pits and a unique flavor. Guavas, apples, and other fruit are added and the drink is flavored with cinnamon and sweetened with piloncillo . This is a wonderfully warming beverage, whether taken with or without piquete (a splash of alcohol). “ Rosca de Reyes “ This sweet bread is served on King's Day( Día de Reyes ), on January 6, but may start appearing in Mexican bakeries around Christmastime. Short Christmas Sayings Dichos cortos de Navidad May your Christmas be wrapped in happiness and tied with love. Que tu navidad esté envuelto por felicidad y atado con amor Though we're apart you're in my heart, this Christmas and always... Aunque estamos separados, estás en mi corazón, en esta Navidad y siempre ... May all your days be happy and bright and may all your Christmases be white Que todos tus días sean felices y brillantes y que todas tus Navidades sean blancas. May your presents be many and your troubles be few. Merry Christmas Que tus regalos sean muchos y tus problemas sean pocos. Feliz Navidad Perhaps the best Yuletide decoration is being wreathed in smiles Tal vez el mejor adorno navideño es el que está envuelto en sonrisas May Peace be your gift at Christmas and your blessing all year through! Que la Paz sea tu regalo de Navidad y tu bendición durante todo el año! .

    Quelite proviene del náhuatl quilitl y su significado es ‘hierba comestible’. Todos los días los ingerimos en diversos platillos que acompañan nuestro andar en los diversos pueblos de nuestro país, como en romeritos, tamales de chipilín, frijoles con epazote, huauzontles, amaranto o guías de chayote. Eso sí, cada vez los comemos menos, porque erróneamente se cree que son alimentos que sólo los pobres consumen. Sin embargo, la literatura especializada nos dice que contienen antioxidantes que se asocian con la prevención de enfermedades cardiovasculares, ya que ayudan a eliminar el colesterol, los triglicéridos, reducen el azúcar en la sangre y promueven una mejor circulación. Además, el cultivo de quelites está relacionado con el sistema tradicional de siembra conocido como milpa, y es muy importante porque ayuda a combatir hongos y plagas.

  • 5 Festive Food Traditions from Around the World
    https://www.nationalgeographic.com/people-and-culture/food/the-plate/2016/12/traditional-christmas-new-years- holiday-foods-from-around-the-world.html The Plate 5 Festive Food Traditions From Around the World Embark on a winter culinary tour and get to know some holiday comfort foods you've probably never heard of. Tteokguk is a traditional Korean New Year's soup. PHOTOGRAPH BY IMAGE REPUBLIC INC., ALAMY By Korena Di Roma PUBLISHED DECEMBER 21, 2016 The holiday season is full of lists: children's letters to Santa, the year's best- and worst-dressed celebrities, the top ten holiday destinations that are warmer than yours, your own overly optimistic to-do list. Naturally, I wanted to add my own to the mix. My first thought, a list of traditional holiday foods from around the world, basically writes its own headline and so makes a great candidate. But how to narrow it down? Call on friends and family. The resulting list is an unusual collection, a virtual potluck of cultural comfort food. And while you may be familiar with one or more of these dishes, there’s sure to be at least one surprise you'll want to know more about —and even make yourself. MEXICO, PAVO RELLENO DE NAVIDAD “Anything and everything,” my friend in Mexico City responds when I ask what she and her family eat during the holidays. This turns out to be a fairly accurate description of the list that follows. Roast lamb, beef Wellington, prawns, traditional Christmas romeritos—a dish of wild native plants typically cooked in mole with dried shrimp and potatoes.

  • El Mole Poblano Y Los Productos Alimenticios Mexicanos
    el mole poblano y los productos alimenticios mexicanos MARIO RIESTRA / Ingredientes, 2005 Jimena Mateos Mario Riestra El mole poblano y los productos alimenticios mexicanos Mario Riestra es vicepresidente ejecutivo de la Fundación Paisano. Para entender al mexicano es necesario disfrutar de su amplísima cocina. Y disfrutar de la cocina mexicana es adentrarse en el complejo tejido que con- forma la identidad cultural de un pueblo que ha hecho de sus costumbres y tradiciones una forma de vida. En cada país hay platillos que lo identifican, y que uno busca disfrutar cuando los visita, pero difícilmente puede uno decir que el rey de la gastro- nomía de Francia es tal o cual platillo. El mole es en cambio uno de esos platillos que coronan la cocina de la gastronomía de un país y en México podemos decir que el platillo nacional por excelencia es el mole poblano. Aparte de sus atributos esenciales, territorio, lengua, instituciones y creencias comunes, la nacionalidad se reconoce en los productos cultura- les del pueblo, en la cocina regional y los objetos de artesanía de carácter utilitario, ceremonial u ornamental. Todo eso es una forma de identidad con un origen común, identificada por patrones culturales que los hacen únicos. Las fiestas y tradiciones mexicanas están ligadas a su cocina y no po- dríamos entender los grandes acontecimientos del hombre y la mujer mexi- canos, desde su nacimiento hasta su muerte, sino en torno a un platillo que lo conmemore.

  • Glossary of Spanish and Mexican Cooking Terms
    Glossary of Spanish and Mexican Cooking Terms This reference to Spanish and Mexican cooking terms is definitely a work in progress. Like Mexico itself, Mexican cooking is a subject so vast that it defies efforts to capture it with any degree of comprehensiveness. Nevertheless, it will be added to on a continuing basis. If you are interested in a particular item or term that you do not find, please submit an e-mail query, and I will attempt to find it and add it to the list, if appropriate. A Abulón Abalone Aceite Oil Aceite de olivo Olive oil Aceituna Olive Acelga Swiss chard Acitrón Candied fruit made from shoots of the biznaga cactus used as a candy or ingredient in stuffings. Acocil Small, fresh water crustaceon Acuyo Piper sanctum. Plant with large leaves which has an anis-like flavor and is used to flavor stews and to wrap tamales. More often called hoja santa in Mexico and "root beer plant" in this country. Achiote The seed of the annato tree which is used to make a seasoning paste of the same name in the Yucatan. The paste is made by grinding the seeds with garlic, spices and lime juice or vinegar. Adobo A seasoning paste, usually containing ground chiles, vinegar, garlic and spices that is used to coat meats, poultry and seafood prior to cooking or drying to preserve. Similar to the Yucatan recado or recaudo, and achiote. Agua Water Aguacate Avocado. In Nahuatl the avocado was called ahuacatl, which means "testicle," referring to the shape of the fruit.

The focus of this study is the culinary culture of barbacoa- makers in the community of Barrio San Mateo, Milpa Alta in Mexico City. Mexican cuisine is analysed at three levels - the social and cuhnary(contexts)of the production and consumption of barbacoa ; the daily life bf women and especially their domestic cooking tasks; and the dynamics of hospitality ,as expressed in the cycle of fiestas. Barbacoa is pit-roast lamb, and the production of it is an important means of livelihood in San Mateo (along with the cultivation of nopales , and other agricultural activities).
