People Try Mexican Street Food

People should not think that Mexican food only implies Taco Bell. Honestly, many of the reactions from the video only support what I think about Mexican food as it’s more than just salsa, tacos, and churros. The people react quite hysterically as the producers introduce each dish to the partners. When reacting, the people typically react in either an excited expression or in a disconcerted emotion. Their comments always offer an interesting insight to their personalities and the food. The Mexican lady adamantly eats every dish as she knows these dishes from her culture. At least, they bravely eat the unknown food.

When the nachos arrived, the people were first hesitant of the nachos, but dug in afterwards. The nachos confuse me as they do not have the usually toppings, but eventually I see the contrast in flavors and textures. I’ve seen corn with mayo before as my little brother eats corn that way, but I am open to the idea that the mayo sticks to spices and flavors. When the people eat the mangos with the spice, I relate to them. Fruit with spiciness always taste better as the spice highlights the sweetness. When they taste the two combination of mango and tamarind, the combination reminds of the scene from Ratatouille where Remy tries to show his friend the symphony of flavor.

                Lastly, the Champurrado really show the relatedness that food holds between cultures. In the words of one the eaters, the drink tastes like when you get cinnamon toast crunch milk and microwave it. This sounds quite delicious. When the lady mentions that the drink taste like a not done chai latte, I wonder if she actually likes the drink. In all, most of the people likes all the dishes and it provides more diversity to what we think of as Mexican food.
