#mochi asks #🇫🇷 anon #i know a lot about transformers for example since ive been into it for like 10 years #its a curse and blessing #same for the history of food but specifically mexican american food in the southwest #for example did you know that hot chocolate was originally from mexico and more bitter #and also did you know that the development of flour tortillas as we know is an extremely recent thing #though most people think of tortillas as the ones from mexico #spain did have a similar flatbread by that name originally that eventually was used to refer to the corn flatbreads made by the indigenous #so now tortillas are synonymous with mexico rather than spain #also tequila can only be made from a very specific blue agave plant that has to be grown from tequila jalisco mexico and distilled too #otherwise its considered mezcal and not tequila #tequila as mexico's national drink is also a recent concept even though mezcal has been drunk by people for hundreds of years #one last thing #the story that tamales were originally made of human meat is a myth and they were often eaten with animal meat seeds fruit and seasonings #ancient mexica women would made them and it was a big ordeal within the family and can take days to make many of them #which is a tradition that still holds up in many modern mexican families today! #okay im done now yall didnt ask for that alskdjalksdjalksj
