    Cooking Oaxacan mole negro from scratch was one of the best food and cultural experiences I’ve ever had. On top of that, we didn’t really know what we were going to do when we set off in the morning… but things worked out for the best. Thank you to Javier and his family for inviting us into their home to cook amazing Oaxacan food!
    So in the morning the plan was
    Rent a van for the day
    Drive to a village
    Find a market
    Ask a nice Grandmother or Aunty to cook us some authentic Oaxacan mole negro
    Now, mole negro is one of the most complex and mysterious of all the Oaxacan Mexican food dishes. There’s such a huge mix of random ingredients in the dish, and no one knows for sure how it was invented or how it came about - there are only legends.
    After renting a van for the day, our driver Javier came to pick us up and we started talking with him to see if he knew anyone that would make us Oaxacan mole negro from scratch. He called his Mom, and she agreed!
    We picked up Mom in a place called Tlacolula de Matamoros, and we went straight to the market to buy all the ingredients for mole negro. Tlacolula de Matamoros is a predominantly Zapotec town, an Indigenous pre-Columbian civilization from the Valley of Oaxaca
    We got back to the house and started preparing all the ingredients. Let me tell you, mole negro has to be one of the most complex and mysterious of all Mexican food. It includes so many random and seemingly odd ingredients. It was a lot of fun to learn how to make it.
    The end result of the Oaxacan mole negro, was supreme. The sauce was so rich, chocolatey, and you could taste all the random ingredients in it - the nuts and dried fruit. It’s deliciously complex.
    Mole was amazing, and having the chance to hang out in a traditional Oaxacan village to cook was priceless.

    I am Swiss and lived in Switzerland most of my life ... my mother was Mexican (and my father Swiss german) .. I remember when she was doing Mole , she often invited many people for dinner. High level dinners with high level and well dressed people. For the occasion, sometimes she was doing Mole.
    What you see from this guy, like this impatience, an "overdone" emotion of expectation and at 24:50 his attitude ... is all true !! that is how i was feeling with my brother about the Mole of my mom.
    Ohh gosh .. .and the worse is that she was always doing waaaaaay more than needed because we would eat Mole for some more days for us, the family, at home. But sometimes, it was so good ... that invited people would still finish it ... meaning eating like 3 times what an adult would eat !! big was our frustration .. and sometimes she felt forced to make Mole again ... for us, the family. understanding our frustration.
    Mole is a unique dish ... truly unique. There is no such other dish in the world. I am 57yrs old, traveled A LOT in the world, ... My prefered foods are : Chateaubriand ... (french meat), Pekin lacked duck (China) ... well prepared caviar (with all the preparation and toasts) .... coocked and steamed lam from Azerbaidjan, In Qatar they did the same style of lam) ..... B U T my PREFERED DISH is chicken M O L E with frijoles and tortillas. The best dish in the word.
    Any mole will make it ... but the Oaxacan mole will just kill you..
    THE BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD. (And again ... i traveled well , i truly lived on 4 continents (no Australia) and tried so many foods ... .
    .
    PS and Mexicans are amazing how they invite you at home ... : my casa es su casa .. is absolutely true.

      @bina nocht Frijoles are cooked beans - usually Pinto-type beans - , seasoned with salt and a couple of other ingredients for flavoring ( like garlic/onion, an herb or two). The Mexican herb epazote is usually added to beans while cooking, to counteract gas production in your digesting; it has a flavor too.

    While visiting in Sonora, my uncle and I were going for an hours long drive to get supplies for his store. On our way (at 5am) we stopped at this little brick house way out in the middle of no where. This widowed old lady lived there all alone and he would check on her at times. As poor as she was she invited us in and insisted on making breakfast: hot coffee, some fried eggs, beans and homemade flour tortillas. That was one of the best breakfasts ever and I've never forgotten her kindness. Oh on the way back my uncle dropped off: flour, rice, sugar, coffee, and other foods for the old lady. Seems he bought her food all the time. Guess he was kind too.

      When you are living alone in isolated area you want or value visitors. Someone to chat with or do something for them. When delivering meals on wheels to shut ins it made me sad they had no family to visit or help them. So many of them just wanted to chat and talk. But had other meals to deliver so could not chat for too long.

      Handmade food is the way mexicans (and many others, like italians) show love. For example, our abuelitas will feed us non stop even if we are full; our dads will make a carne asada or barbacoa for the family, and our moms will give us a freshly handmade tortilla with butter or a pinch of salt. Food is a language that feeds the body, that feeds the soul.

Not just with taste but with culture as well many of these recipes are traced down to Mayan, Aztec and other indigenous tribes from Mexico. Mexico is one of the few countries in the world to show respect and love with its indigenous people as seen with its lovely flag🇲🇽
    Like always what always makes the food better is the experience and the lovely people cooking it, a lot of people in Mexico will always invite you to eat if you go to their house, even if they don’t have much they always offer.

    26:11 When she said "Cómo le digo que si quiere más?" (How do I ask him if he wants more) he better said yes because when a Mexican mother gives you food and ask you to eat more, she's not joking around, if she serves you more food you just eat it.

      Brittanya Hope Milagro exactly!!! But the news is very much at fault. I spent a few weeks in various parts of Mexico recently and it was amazing! However I did notice that the news in Mexico does to its citizens what USA news does to us. Anyone who watches news in Mexico would think that if we stick our heads out the door of our homes a terrorist will blow us up! And we see that in Mexico you will be shot by a cartel if you set foot there. It’s all exaggerated on both sides...BIG TIME! I as well as many other tourists I encountered while in Mexico had a FANTASTIC TIME! I was walking in the plaza at 11:00 pm with a bunch of other people eating delicious food, talking, and laughing. It was great! Can’t wait to go back at the end of the year
