A gastronomic journey through Yucatán

Since ancient times, gastronomy has been represented as a characteristic element of all cultures. Through its flavors, regional cuisine takes us back to its traditions, customs, ideology, and passions. The typical dishes of a country or region offer us not only a spectacle of tastes, aromas, and textures but a more comprehensive understanding of a culture. Discover the incredible Mexican cuisine by states. What is your favorite region? Without a doubt, Mexican gastronomy is widely recognized worldwide. So great is its fame that for some years now it has been considered an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. However, the richness of our country lies precisely in its diversity, and if someone knows Mexican cuisine well, they will know that the culinary art of Sonora has nothing to do with that of Yucatán. Precisely, in an effort to showcase the value of their gastronomy, a group of young Yucatecos has created a short film called “Huevito con chaya” where they address the richness of their cuisine. Feel like you're in Yucatán with this delicious lime soup. The motto of their company (“Food is culture”) perfectly reflects, on one hand, the importance of this in the construction of an identity as a society, while also demonstrating the great love that these proud Yucatecos feel for their culinary legacy. Get hooked on this tasty Yucatán-style habanero sauce. Are you daring enough? This project is a blend of various artistic expressions that converge to convey the passion for food. Through this short film, we can feel the love and nostalgia of Ermilo, a Yucateco who has migrated to the United States. Thanks to its beautiful images, we can almost feel the aromas and flavors of Ermilo's mother's cooking, while delving into family relationships. Always with food as the central axis. After trying this cochinita pibil, you won't want to eat pork any other way. If food plays a key role in your daily life as well, we recommend watching this short film. Besides being a vindication of Yucatecan gastronomy, it is an invitation to reevaluate the meaning and value of the food we put on our table every day. These salbutes only need a little habanero sauce. Are you tempted?
