Traditional food in Mexico
I’d like to draw your attention to the fact that so many countries so many traditions of food. I want to tell you some words about traditional food of Mexico. Traditional food in Mexico is far different from the Mexican food we find in the states. Traditional Mexican food is dependent upon the region and the staples of the land. While each region has been influenced differently by the original conquering Spaniards, the varying climate and geography also play a part in the region's traditional selections. The entire country is known for its corn, tomatoes, chocolate, spices, avocados, beans, papaya, vanilla and chill peppers. How these staples are used reflects the true traditional foods of the land. Maize
One of the most commonly used staples of all of Mexico is maize, the corn staple of the land. It is used for tortillas, enchiladas, quesadillas and tacos. The fillings of these specialties are specific to the region. Northern Mexico is greatly known for its meat products, specifically beef, ostrich and goat. The maize specialties are filled with these meats and served with tomatoes and spices. In the Veracruzan areas bordering the Gulf of Mexico, fish is more common and is used as a primary dish, even when filling quesadillas and tacos.
