As a Mexican expatriated in the US, I can't deny I cried watching this. Happy tears of pride and love. But also homesick tears. I miss quesadillas (SIN queso).
@@thesupergreenjudy Usually the fillings are moist (they are mostly "guisados") and the tortillas are freshly handmade, so they are chewy and super pliable. Trust me, it works.
Hi Beryl!! thank you for letting me be a part of your video and I'm so glad you enjoyed the Churros and your trip!❤😌💫 I love this community so much!! Sending hugs and love to everyone!
The quesadilla without cheese confused my Mexican family when we went to Mexico City about 18 years ago. My brother-in-law who’s from Sonora Mexico ordered a quesadilla and we were surprised that it didn’t come with cheese. We thought they got his order wrong. We learned a lesson that day that we have to order it con queso. I grew up eating quesadillas made with corn tortillas and queso oaxaca or queso chihuahua ☺️😁
My family immigrated to the US when I was a child. We moved to rural Indiana, and I vividly remember the one time I brought mexican candy (like the ones you tried) to my 5th grade class. Not one person liked them and they all insisted it was not candy since they were not strictly sweet. To this day, when I STILL get that reaction from adults who try my country's sweets, I am baffled. I love the complex flavors of Mexican candy. Thanks for trying them and thanks even more for loving them for what they are.
Please tell us some names of Mexican Candy. I am intrigued. I’d love to try some. I’ve lived in Japan for 60 years. Treats are really different all over the world. Japan has all kinds of treats that stay at home Americans would find hard …. Very new…. Strange maybe.
@@Pammellam I love that you said ‘stay at home’ Americans. People always generalize about Americans calling us ignorant and under-exposed. But that is not true about all of us. Some of us travel, learn other languages and are interested, curious and excited about learning about other cultures.
Yess Beryl should go around Oaxaca and Guatemala trying out unique local street foods! So much ive never even heard of, whereas here in Northern Europe theres much less variety in foods, since the level of plant and animal diversity in cold places is lower.
Thanks Beryl! This was so much fun! And, perhaps if Covid ever ends, you can travel the world doing more "woman on the street" tastings! Everything looked so interesting and now I want to go to a candy shop in every country I visit. That brittle looked like birdseed and I'd love to try it!
I used to struggle to know what souvenirs to bring back to my family from trips. I haven't traveled since covid, but candy was usually a hit when I did travel and you can bring it through customs.
I recently had quesadillas with huitlacoche and flor de calabasa (pumpkin/squash flower). It was delicious. I hate mushrooms!! I was 51 yrs old when I tried it.
@Beryl Shereshewsky And I am Mexican too. I'm not a big fan and stay away from mushrooms, so when my aunt (also not a fungus fan) made them in quesadillas (with a bit of cheese), I tried it. Delicious!!!!
In NYC across from the hospital I work at, there is a Mexican Antojitos cart which sells among other things quesadillas con huitlacoche (among other flavors.) It's delicious. Can confirm it's like an earthier mushroom. They mix theirs with corn also so I guess you have the corn and the corn fungus.
I love that you actually went to Mexico and we got to experience it with you. Your confidence with filming in public (especially in another country) is inspiring to be confident/comfortable in general :)
Once I started watching this video, I got so hooked up. Beryl, you are an amazing presenter who knows her stuff. Great great great video Beryl. And thank you so much for introducing us to such amazing Mexican foods and candies! ✨
Tamarind can be used as both sweet and sour element. In its unsweetened form form its sour enough to make your tongue click(..ig?) But in a fun way. We have small tamarind toffees here in India too, they're little round balls very fun to have.
Just wanted to tell you how much we appreciate your bright, wonderful personality! It's really cool to experience how happy you seem. As a long time foody, it's always a joy to see young people experience the world's classics. Keep smiling!!!
Once it's safer to travel, Beryl can start doing what she's done during her time in Great Big Story. Travel, eat, and meet the locals. This is so exciting!
This was super FUN! And it is wonderful seeing you broadening your horizons w/outside shoots too. oh and make sure your sis knows we appreciate her helping out !
I love huitlacohe! I work in ag research and I am surrounded by corn. Everyone at work is always excited when the sweet corn is ready every summer. I get excited because that means corn smut! I get weird looks as I go hunting for those weird grey lumps of delicious.
Food debates within a country are always so interesting and hilarious! I never heard about the cheese debate in mexico, I loved it. And people always have a similar expression on their face: the laughter, because its usually a ridicousous and anoyance that people seriously belive that there is an alternative! ^^ Do you have any similar debates in your country?
So, in Finland it's really common to eat crispbread at school. It's dry and has one side with holes/cavities and one without. I feel like every Finnish person has at least once in their life engaged in a conversation about which side you should spread your butter/margarine on :D. I personally do the smooth side (without holes), but some people are adamant about putting their toppings on the side with the cavities, so you'll have more butter inside them haha. I was happy to introduce my Italian husband to this debate when we discovered similar bread in Aldi. (He said he instinctively chose to put his toppings on the side with the cavities :D) Another common sandwich related one is whether you should put the cheese or ham on top. (I always do cheese on top.)
In Italy there is a big debate over the fried rice balls and what they're called. Some people say arancini. Others say arancine. May not seem like a big difference but it makes for a lively debate 😂
@@Ginatus haha it's exactly the same in Sweden. Rye crispbread is always present in school canteens (as well as lunch restaurants) and when I went to school there were constant debates on whether to put butter on the "rich" side (the one with holes) or the "poor" side. We have so much in common 🇫🇮🇸🇪
@Melissa Anna I went to college in the South in the USA and there, people argue over what is allowed to be called a "dumpling" versus a "biscuit". I've seen people get very heated in this discussion. To me, if it's made of some sort of flour, combined with some sort of dairy, and a little seasoning and fat, then simmered in a stew, hey, that's a dumpling. Don't care if it was rolled out and cut up into little diamonds first, or spooned over the pot and dropped in. Whatever the recipe, whatever the method, that combo of ingredients and heat equals deliciousness.
@@Ginatus Another debate - my mother was English and so I grew up brewing tea, and bringing the pot to the table, with a little pot of sugar and a little pot of milk. The milk went in first, then the tea, then the sugar. There is no other order, folks! My American friends thought this was so weird - I still do it now probably out of force of habit no matter what cup or mug I will be drinking my tea from. (Wanna know why it's done this way? When England went to China and brought back sets of expensive china to their freezing cold little island, they soon discovered pouring scalding hot tea into a stone-cold cup made of porcelain led to a cracked cup! So putting the milk in first, then slowly pouring in the tea tempers the tea enough so that the cup does not break. And sugar dissolves easier in hot liquids than cold, so hence the sugar going in last. Interesting, eh?)
I love how you talk about the history, give the audience a voice in your videos and provide an amazing perspective into other cultures. Your videos helped me a lot during the pandemic. Keep up the amazing work. Thank you
I've been so used to seeing Beryl in her living room that the whole time she's trying the quesadilla I kept thinking it was green screen 🤣 this was a fun video!
Finally! I've been waiting for this! 😄 I'm glad that you came here! You should visit Coyoacán and Xochimilco someday, the food market in Coyoacán has this delicious "esquites con tuétano" (kernels with bone marrow), Xochimilco has a tour very early in the morning to watch the sunrise and then eat on Arca Tierra, a very nice restaurant, literally you feel like you are living a normal day for an Aztec, it's crazy and fascinating 👌
Thank you Beryl!! I’ve been missing my family in Mexico and me suffering quarantine right now; this is making it easier!!! I miss my culture of how there’s so many delicious food and showing there pure ingredients!!! The taco’s over there have a better flavor! Even the beer!
Heartfelt video. 💖 I love how you always capture raw footage, which makes me reminisce of the times I walked through Mexico eating all the yummy street food. I know your not a huge fan of spicy food, so gotta say, you were brave to try all the spicy treats. I have learned so much from your videos and believe it or not it’s like I’m traveling on my couch without having to catch a flight. Thank you so much for supporting all people from around the world and sharing their food recommendations.
What a great feeling that Beryl gets us experience a good field trip safely in the comforts our own home while experiencing the beauty of Mexico during this pandemic! And wow I just realized it her i think 2nd time???? 1st in Great Big Story times if i'm not wrong?
You did great being outside and on camera, Beryl! This was a really cool episode to watch since you blended being at home and outside of your comfort zone. I love your videos
Hey Beryl! 🤣 OMG was so cool you tried the candies. Pulparindo will be forever my fav! Thanks a lot for letting me be part of this, and thanks for sharing this tasty and super interesting part of my country. 🤩
You were soooo natural that i wouldnt have thought that this is your first time shooting outside if I have not been watching your previous eps. Awesome work!
OMG never would've imagined in my life to have you here in Mexico! Your videos are all so wholesome and this one in particular made my heart feel soooo warm, happy and kinda homesick too, wishing to be there with you trying all those delicious food again! You did super great btw, great great video! So happy to watch you in field research jajaja. Only thing is you missed the Mazapan de la rosa! Mexican candy realness!
Pelon Pelerico is AMAZING!! I love buying some and having my students try it after they read about a character eating tamarind in our fall novel. 90%+ fall in love with it as well. 😁
We have such similar candy in india, they also sell tamarind candy and the brittle kind of thing, it's made of jaggery and peanuts instead of sugar. Even if we are so far from Mexico we share a few things
@@annhans3535 Oh so coincidental. One of things I did as a child and still do is to pound tamarind, jaggery( it is like palm sugar) salt and red chillie powder together and make it into balls and eat it.
@@akankshapatwari4167 It's so yummy. One of my tenants made some and he is from Africa (not sure which country) and gave it to me but he put way too much pepper.
I have heard of this mushroom before, very interesting ingredient to talk about! This video also came with a bonus, your friend Joey was very nice for the eyes!
I love huitlacoche and would really love to eat it again in tacos or quesadillas. Alas, that’s not available in my country, so I’ll have to settle with vicariously enjoying it through you. Thanks!
My mom's best friend was second generation Mexican American, so I grew up with goooood Mexican food. THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!! I LOVED THIS WHOLE THING! EVERY MINUTE!!
Love this video, we need more Mexico videos!! Mexico needs this love, we get so much unneeded hate for honestly no reason and we need to show the world our food is amazing, the people are great and we are safe!!
Great episode Beryl! You did a wonderful job going on location and reviewing the foods! It's always tough to go out of ones comfort zone, but you did awesome. Thanks for showing us Mexico City through street food. Yum!
I LOVE THE CONCEPT! It's super fresh. Hitting the street, trying your followers' recommendations is superb! It'd be great to have more episodes like this around the world once border restrictions have been relaxed
I love huitlacoche. You should try the mix of Huitlacoche and Goat Cheese inside and omelette is Delicious and another way to use it not only in quesadillas.
Loved that you were out and about you didn’t look awkward at all just very natural and it was clear to say how much fun you are having. Would like to see more of these and done your shopping excursions in New York. Stay safe and keep well
Well done as always, Beryl! It was fun to see you out on the street and trying a new format. Hearing you talk about being a bit uncomfortable but wanting to get better is a good reminder that it’s ok to try new things and not immediately be perfect at them. That said, you were amazing and seemed like you were enjoying the food and the atmosphere. Thanks for bringing us along.
4:35 I love this lady, and this video! Years ago when the great Tony Bourdain died I thought there would never again be someone who showcased the world and it’s people in the masterful, educational, funny, and thoughtful way that he did. Your channel is certainly very different, but the way you show us not only these foods, but the people and stories behind them reminds me a lot of him. Keep going
I can't believe you recorded all of that, the quesadillas and churros are just a couple blocks distance from my workplace and I've never tried them! So glad you enjoy mexican food, I feel proud! ¡Bienvenida!
Hi beryl. Love your show. Love the format and your bright smile brightens the cold gloomy days in Istanbul. However, your demeanour , style and language seems too refined for street food. It's a compliment.
This brought me fond memories. Although I was born and raised in British Columbia my mother hails from Culiacán, Sinaloa and my sisters and I were given treats that our friends in Canada would never have been exposed to. Churros high on the list also less sweet things like dried salted plums, not my favourite, and little wood containers of cajete, a type of soft caramel. It reminds me of my maternal grandparents, Mamanina and Papa Carlos.
Beryl, you can't just pack this beautiful shot of huitlacoche on a BLUE tortilla, this absolutely ridiculous phone and Hottie McHotterson into the same 10 seconds (1:06-1:16). Too much beauty to process! 🤯🤩 Barely a minute in and you already made my day!
I love this so much!!! I live in South Texas and this video felt like you were so close by because we have all these foods too. But I’ve never tried the corn fungus! I’m going to try it soon! Con queso. 😉
I remember hearing about huitlacoche for the first time in high school and being fascinated by it! I actually saw it in person for the first a couple weeks ago when I went to a local supermercado to find masarepa! Didn't buy any, but it's always so interesting to learn about a food that's so common somewhere else, but practically unheard of in your own country.
ahhh, those candies brought back so many memories!! i worked with a girl who brought back a bunch of candies for me from a trip to visit family in mexico. she gave me some of the same ones that were suggested to you, but my favorite one was like a little mango lollipop. it was similar to how the elote one you got was shaped like corn, but a mango instead, and also covered with sour tamarind and chile, but the inside was very sweet, so you were hit with a ton of different flavors at once, it was great! i'm normally somebody who loves straight-up sweet things, not sour, but honestly one of my favorite things i've learned about from mexican friends is the very basic tajin on fruit, fresh or dried. that sweet/sour/mildly spicy combo is honestly god-tier and it is SO simple ♥
Don't sweat it, Beryl--you did GREAT! I totally enjoyed the video, and I didn't think you seemed awkward or anything but your usual fun self. Seriously. You rock.
Going along with all this praise for Beryl, you could easily say she's a gem. I think your name rocks. Seriously though it's a lovely name for a lovely person.

So happy that you are in Mexico DF , DF is my favorite city in the world.
Beryl, you did great! I look forward to more videos like this 😁👍🏽
This video was so good! The value production was awesome. I felt like we were traveling along!
Beryl!!! I loved this video so much. It was so comforting to watch. I hope you do more travel videos like this
You did great! I hope you had a fun and delicious trip to Mexico City!
Well done as always, Beryl! It was fun to see you out on the street and trying a new format. Hearing you talk about being a bit uncomfortable but wanting to get better is a good reminder that it’s ok to try new things and not immediately be perfect at them. That said, you were amazing and seemed like you were enjoying the food and the atmosphere. Thanks for bringing us along.
4:35 I love this lady, and this video!
Years ago when the great Tony Bourdain died I thought there would never again be someone who showcased the world and it’s people in the masterful, educational, funny, and thoughtful way that he did. Your channel is certainly very different, but the way you show us not only these foods, but the people and stories behind them reminds me a lot of him. Keep going
Such a fun vid! Congrats!
Beryl, I LOVE your field trips and "On the street" commentary! It was fun seeing your sister too.
Love love LOVE your videos. I am always so happy when you post! A little sunshine in a cloudy sky💕
So glad you got to take a trip! Wonderful video
This was a good one.
All rounder video.
Loved it!
This was awesome! Keep doing you, Beryl!
This was so fun!! Thanks for taking us with you!
I can't believe you recorded all of that, the quesadillas and churros are just a couple blocks distance from my workplace and I've never tried them! So glad you enjoy mexican food, I feel proud! ¡Bienvenida!
Hi beryl. Love your show. Love the format and your bright smile brightens the cold gloomy days in Istanbul. However, your demeanour , style and language seems too refined for street food. It's a compliment.
ooo I love this idea of street videos!! 😍
This brought me fond memories. Although I was born and raised in British Columbia my mother hails from Culiacán, Sinaloa and my sisters and I were given treats that our friends in Canada would never have been exposed to. Churros high on the list also less sweet things like dried salted plums, not my favourite, and little wood containers of cajete, a type of soft caramel. It reminds me of my maternal grandparents, Mamanina and Papa Carlos.
By Far my favorite "episode' Thank you Beryl!!!! 🌹💚
I love the way you describe the taste of the quesadillas ! I can all most enjoy it with you ! Thanks for a great vid .
I love when Beryl pulls out her notebook!!!
Beryl, you can't just pack this beautiful shot of huitlacoche on a BLUE tortilla, this absolutely ridiculous phone and Hottie McHotterson into the same 10 seconds (1:06-1:16). Too much beauty to process! 🤯🤩 Barely a minute in and you already made my day!
Seriously he's fine af
I miss mexico so much 🥺 can't wait to visit again
I love this so much!!!
I live in South Texas and this video felt like you were so close by because we have all these foods too. But I’ve never tried the corn fungus! I’m going to try it soon! Con queso. 😉
I remember hearing about huitlacoche for the first time in high school and being fascinated by it! I actually saw it in person for the first a couple weeks ago when I went to a local supermercado to find masarepa! Didn't buy any, but it's always so interesting to learn about a food that's so common somewhere else, but practically unheard of in your own country.
Thanks for taking us on a trip to Mexico City!!
The quality of this video is next tier 😍
Yay the book is back. Love this video
Omg yes I’m glad Beryl loves the cajeta filled churro because I LOVEEEE cajeta with my whole soul. I’ve never had huitlacoche but I’d love to try 🥺❤️
ahhh, those candies brought back so many memories!! i worked with a girl who brought back a bunch of candies for me from a trip to visit family in mexico. she gave me some of the same ones that were suggested to you, but my favorite one was like a little mango lollipop. it was similar to how the elote one you got was shaped like corn, but a mango instead, and also covered with sour tamarind and chile, but the inside was very sweet, so you were hit with a ton of different flavors at once, it was great! i'm normally somebody who loves straight-up sweet things, not sour, but honestly one of my favorite things i've learned about from mexican friends is the very basic tajin on fruit, fresh or dried. that sweet/sour/mildly spicy combo is honestly god-tier and it is SO simple ♥
That sounds a lot like the Picositas Go Mango Enchilado from La Imperial. Those are delicious. Try the mango Pulparindos too.
I love your smile and laugh! So contagious and bubbly!!!
Thanks for talking about the underrated huitlacoche, a real delicatessen.
OMG some of my favorite candies
Nice to see the Great big story format here!! Love it as usual!!❣❣
I'm not Mexican but absolutely love their culture and food, my mouth was watering xD
Don't sweat it, Beryl--you did GREAT! I totally enjoyed the video, and I didn't think you seemed awkward or anything but your usual fun self. Seriously. You rock.
_Muchas gracias, encantadora_ *Beryl,* _por otro video maravilloso, y_ *ESTA VEZ* _las partes fueron_ *EN VIVO,* _¡y_ *EN MÉXICO!*
Your content gives me so much joy, thank you 😊
Going along with all this praise for Beryl, you could easily say she's a gem.
I think your name rocks.
Seriously though it's a lovely name for a lovely person.
You were great! Please keep these coming it's so nice to imagine myself going on adventures after this omicron wave we're having in Canada.
a bunch of Mexican candies are some of these most satisfying! salty, sweet, spicy, sour! love 'em!
