Tex-Mex, Cal-Mex, New Mex, or Whose Mex? Notes on the Historical Geography of Southwestern Cuisine by briselda_gonzalez1 on 03-31-2020
Father Bernardino de Sahagún talking to the Indians...
You, Indians, must eat what we, Castilian, eat because it is good food, and you will be strong and wise just like us...
He is crazy if he thinks we will obey his commands and only eat their food! What about if we mix both cuisines? I could try their foods while enjoying my maize and chiles...
Several months later at a Catholic priests meeting...
Have you seen the Indians disobeying my order? They are mixing both cuisines! That is not acceptable.
Wow, I did not know! We should make some radical changes to eliminate this mestizo cuisine ASAP!
Natives response to the radical changes implemented by the priests...
I disagree with their changes! Who do they think they are trying to force us to change our diet? Me and the rest of Athabaskan will become sheepherders.
Me and the rest of the Yaquis will embrace the mission rather than become problematic.
