Mexico City – Tlaxcala – Puebla Itinerary Culinary Educator: CENTRAL MEXICO: A CULINARY ADVENTURE Rick Bayless itinerary: ® THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA SEPTEMBER Presentedby Travel Programs 20-27, ® 2008 mexico city – tlaxcala – puebla itinerary Mexico City has been the center of the culinary world of Mexico since it was the Aztec capital situated on islands in the middle of a shallow lake. Then named Tenochtitlan, it was a magnificent city of great size – by 1519 it was five times larger than London. To feed its many people, farmers encircled the islands with small floating gardens separated by canals on which they grew fresh vegetables, herbs, and chiles. This was also the hub into which all roads led, bringing different types of food from distant parts of the country to sell and trade at the huge market in the center of the city. With the conquest by the Spaniards, another layer of culinary achievements was added, for these settlers brought with them the ingredients and memories of a cuisine infused by 28 generations of Moorish control. The food found today in Mexico City, the largest city in the world, still reflects its origins with enormous varieties of the centuries-old masa snacks found in the city’s markets and from street vendors. Then there are the traditional dishes, such as moles and pipianes, as well as the exciting dishes that are being created by chefs using traditional Mexican ingredients in new ways. Day 1: Saturday, September 20 (Mexico City) Arrive at the Hotel Maria Cristina before 5:00 p.m. The hotel is located near the Zona Rosa with many shops and art galleries. The trip will officially start with a 6:00 p.m. orientation with Mexican culinary experts Rick Bayless and Roberto Santibáñez. They will share insights into the cuisine and culture of Mexico City and the surrounding area. We will continue on to one of Rick’s favorite restaurants for a classic Mexican cena. Hotel: Maria Cristina, D Day 2: Sunday, September 21 (Mexico City – Tlaxcala) We will enjoy a festive breakfast at El Bajio, which is owned by our good friend, Carmen Titita Ramirez, and features the foods of her native Veracruz. We will discuss regional chiles, herbs, fruits, and vegetables that we’ll shop for at the exciting Merced market, one of the largest in the world and the largest in Mexico. Everyone will be in a small group, each responsible for buying and bringing back the ingredients on their shopping list for a “show and tell.” We will depart for Tlaxcala, stopping along the way for a typical Tlaxcalan comida. After eating, we will check into the Hotel San Francisco, an old 19th century mansion built right on the zocalo of this historic small city. You will have time to unpack, and then we will walk to the home of food anthropologist, Yolanda Ramos. She lives on a small plaza near our hotel and has turned one of the rooms into an excellent teaching kitchen where we will hold many of our classes. Yolanda will show us how to grind corn, how nixtamal is made, and we’ll finish with a festive buffet of typical Tlaxcalan food. Although centrally located between the states of Mexico and Puebla, Tlaxcala is usually overlooked by most tourists. It is Mexico’s smallest state, but its historical influence is major. Tlaxcalan warriors allied with Cortes against the Aztecs, 1 their oppressors, and were essential in bringing about their defeat. As a reward for their loyalty, the Tlaxacalans were granted a noble city status and were exempt from paying taxes, and the region prospered. The city of Tlaxcala, with its sienna-orange and rose-colored colonial buildings, has been restored – including the oldest civic building in Mexico. Located in a neighboring part of the state, it is one of the major pulque regions of Mexico, and the massive maguey plants continue to dominate the landscape. One of the distinguishing dishes of the region is a barbacoa of mixiote, which is lamb or kid. It is blanketed in a rich chile paste and wrapped in mixiote, the outer layer of the membrane from the sword-like leaves of the maguey plant, and then steamed in a pit. Hotel: Hotel San Francisco, B, L, D Day 3: Monday, September 22 (Tlaxcala) In the Nahuatl language, Tlaxcala signifies “land of corn” or “place of bread of corn” (tortillas), making it a fitting place to start our exploration of the major role of corn in Mexican cooking. We will start with a demonstration of the molino grinding our softened corn into masa, and learn how different varieties of corn are utilized for specific purposes. Then our teacher will make and serve these antojitos for our first meal of the day. Next will be a walking tour of the historical center of Tlaxcala, including a visit to the chapel where Christianity supposedly began in the New World when Cortes witnessed the baptism of four Tlaxcalan noblemen. When we return, there will be a class with Rick featuring mole Poblano. Near Yolanda’s house there is a marvelous small ethnological museum. Among other things, it has a very complete walk-through tour of making pulque, and a special one will be arranged for us. Our evening class will be with Roberto on preparing tamales. Hotel: Hotel San Francisco, L, D Day 4: Tuesday, September 23 (Tlaxcala) After breakfast on your own, we will meet to learn more about mole poblano from Rick. Next we will visit Cacaxtla, an archeological site near the southern border of Tlaxcala. We will dine on authentic tacos for lunch after a demonstration on the ancient craft of popping amaranth seeds for the making of alegria. In the afternoon we will return to Tlaxcala, and you will have time to relax or explore the city on your own. Our evening class will be with Roberto on Mexican cooking fundamentals. Hotel: Hotel San Francisco, L, D Day 5: Wednesday, September 24 (Tlaxcala) Rick will teach his last class today after breakfast. It will be followed by continued emphasis on the role of the maguey in the culinary world, including dishes such as mixiote, where the outer membrane from the sword-like leaves of the plant are used to wrap the meat for a delicious barbacoa. Yolanda will demonstrate the process of preparing mixiote before we take off for a restored pulque hacienda, where we will spend the rest of the day. Pulque, the ancient alcoholic beverage of the indigenous people, is made from the agua miel, or honey water, from the heart of the maguey, plant and fermented. We will see first-hand how pulque is made, and we will sample it later as we participate in what may be the highlight of the trip—a fiesta in our honor. There we will enjoy lots of mixiote and other good foods, good drinks, and of course, good company. Hotel: Hotel San Francisco, B, L, D Day 6: Thursday, September 25 (Tlaxcala – Puebla – Tlaxcala) We will become acquainted with Puebla, considered by many as the birthplace of Mexican food as we think of it today. The city of Puebla, unlike many of the other major cities in Mexico, was not built over the ruins of conquered ceremonial centers and communities of the indigenous people. The Spanish founded it in 1531 as a fortress, religious center, and haven for travelers between the capital and the ports of Veracruz and Acapulco. Today it is the fourth largest city in Mexico. Although it is a major industrial center, the central part of the city is incredibly beautiful and has buildings riotously encrusted with tile and many ornately decorated churches. It was in the convents, which were used as a place for special guests to be entertained, that the lavish dishes were created that now are so well known, such as mole poblano and the chiles en nogada. 2 In Puebla we will visit the tile-clad kitchen of the ex-convent of Santa Rosa where mole Poblano was said to be first created. We will also visit one of the leading Talavera stores to see how this exquisite pottery is made by hand, and there will be time for shopping. We will graze throughout the day on the incredible street foods of Puebla, and in the market we will eat cemitas, Puebla’s version of tortas. They are fat rolls filled with just about everything good to eat. Next we’ll market shop again, and your group will select ingredients to prepare dinner for everyone back in Tlaxcala. The evening will also include a tasting of Mexico’s prime tequilas and Rick will talk a bit about the versatile maguey plant. Also known as agave, it is the source of tequila, as well as mezcal and pulque. Hotel: Hotel San Francisco, L, D Day 7: Friday, September 26 (Tlaxcala – Mexico City) After our last class with Roberto, we will depart for México City. After we check into the hotel, the Colonia Polanco, you will have the rest of the afternoon to relax or shop. In the evening we will have our last dinner together — an innovative meal prepared for our group at one of México City’s much-acclaimed restaurants. Hotel: Intercontinental Hotel, L, D Day 8: Saturday, September 27 The trip will end and everyone will be on their own to explore Mexico City further, fly home, or visit other parts of Mexico.

  • The Status of Rallus Elegans Tenuirostris in Mexico
    Jan., 1959 49 THE STATUS OF RALLUS ELEGANS TENUIROSTRIS IN MEXICO By DWAIN W. WARNER and ROBERT W. DICKERMAN Except for brief mention of occurrence in the states of Mbico and Tlaxcala and the Federal District and of measurements of a small series of specimens collected a half century or more ago, no additional information has been published on Rallus eleganstenuhstris. This subspecieswas described by Ridgway (1874) as Rallus elegans var. tenuirostris from “City of Mexico.” Oberholser ( 193 7) in his revision of the Clap- per Rails (R. Zongirostris) discusseda series of rails taken by E. W. Nelson and E. A. Goldman in July, 1904, near the headwaters of the Rio Lerma, referring to them as Rallus longirostris tenuirostris. Other, more recent major works have referred to the race of large rails inhabiting the fresh water marshes of the plateau of Mbico, two citing elegans and two citing longirostris as the speciesto which this population belongs. In conjunction with other studies in the marshes of central Mkxico, Dickerman col- lected fifteen specimens of this form between July, 1956, and May, 1958. These, plus two recently taken specimens from San Luis Potosi, extend greatly the known range of tenuirostris and add to the knowledge of its biology. All available material of tenuirostris was obtained on loan, as well as sufficient material of R. Zongirostris,including all speci- mens available from the east coast of MCxico, to give us a better picture of the large Rallus complex in MCxico. Sixteen specimens from various populations of both “species” in the United States were also at hand for comparisons.

Porter Professor Niels Ketelhöhn Mulegué Loreto Comondú Los Cabos municipality La Paz San Jose del Cabo Cabo Corridor Cabo San Lucas Daniel Acevedo (Mexico) Dionisio Garza Sada (Mexico) José Luis Romo (Mexico) Bernardo Vogel (Mexico) Boston, Massachusetts May 2nd, 2008 Profile of Mexico Mexico covers an area of 1,964,382 square kilometers (758,452 square miles). With a population of 105 million, Mexico is the 11th most populous country and the most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world. The nation’s capital, Mexico City, is the second largest city in the world. Mexico is composed by 31 states congregated in a federal representative democratic republic. The constitution establishes three levels of government: federal, state, and municipal. The federal government is constituted by the Legislative branch, composed by the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, the Executive branch, headed by the President who is elected for a single term every six years by a direct national election and is also commander in chief of the military forces, and the Judicial branch, comprised by the Supreme Court.1 Recent Political and Economic Situation The economic policy from 1920 until the end of the 1980’s was based on a centralized economy driven by strong government intervention. During the 1950´s postwar years, Mexico pursued an economic development strategy of “stabilizing development” that relied on heavy public-sector investment to modernize the national economy. Concurrently, Mexican governments followed conservative policies on controlled interest and exchange rates that helped maintain low rates of inflation and attracted external capital to support industrialization.

  • The United States Gives Recognition to Baja California As Boophilus Spp
    The United States gives recognition to Baja California as Boophilus spp. tick-free The measure allows producers to export live cattle with less restrictions. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) gave recognition to Baja California as a boophilus spp. (Rhipicephalus) tick-free zone, which will allow bovine cattle producers to export live animals more easily. The recognition was granted by the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), following the request made in the first quarter of 2019 by the National Service for Agro-Alimentary Public Health, Safety and Quality (SENASICA). The US health agency conducted various analyzes and concluded that ruminants imported from the region represent a low risk for American cattle. The APHIS establishes regulations on the importation of certain animals to prevent the introduction of cattle transmissible diseases. The regulations establish the procedure to request recognition of the animal health status of a region or for the approval of the export of a particular type of animal or product to the US. The APHIS evaluates the applications and, if it considers that the recognition can be granted, it submits its evaluation for public consultation –by means of a notice that is published in its Federal Register. Once the consultation is finished, the health authority reviews the comments and makes a final determination. In the case of the declaration made for Baja California, the APHIS published the request of the agency of the Secretariat of Agriculture and Rural Development (SADER) last March 19th, and requested comments for a period of 60 days. Given that it did not receive any comments, it communicated to SENASICA its determination to add the entity to the list of regions of Mexico declared as free of ticks.
