    All those things are good even if you're not an adventurous eater. Huitlacoche is not too strong, churros are just delicious in general, and if the cucumbers look like too much, even with just a bit of chamoy or a bit of tajín are good, so if you can, check them out!

    My mum and i discovered your channel during covid 2019. Since then we have exhausted your videos. Its our go to watch when we nothing to watch.

    Before covid my speciality was a glass of water. Now my cooking skills have improved I'm glad to say. I get hung up on an ingredients or a method of cooking and expolre the ways to cook it. R.i.p. mushrooms

    Currently my ingredient of exploration is Turkey mince. I've made Turkish kebab (which failed), Chinese-eque meatballs with orange peel (highly recommended) and my mums favourite Christmas dinner turkey meatballs( we are British born Indians and can't deal with bland couchy meat). Im praying you do an episode on turkey and give me some inspiration.

    By the way you are my spirit animal. I have the same reaction as you do when u eat something tasty. And my mum thinks you are adorable.

    Peace, love, and tastey adventures to you

    I just got to mexico city a couple weeks ago (yay twinsies) and I tried huitlacoche my first night here 😀 Glad I'm on the right track to taste all the noms of CDMX. I haven't tried the pepino con chile yet, but I did have some sort of pepino agua thing that seems similar (delicious). I need to get one of those cajeta churros, yum! If I see something with cajeta I buy it! haha I've had cajeta conchas, paletas, and spring rolls – to name a few.

    I love Mexican food as well as Mexican baked goods and desserts but I CAN NOT with their candy LOL. All the ones you tried are sold a pretty much every liquor store and corner market in L.A. (you'd probably call them bodegas in NYC but nobody in L.A. does) and I've tried them all more than once and will never try any of them again.

    Oh… Beryl! This was niiiice. This is next level, evolution. If only the stubborn of the world get their act together so people can start traveling more safely again, because would love for you to film like this trying food and with context in more places around the world.

    Quesadillas depends on where in Mexico you have them. The farther south into historically more indigenous settlements you go, there won’t be cheese in too much of the food. Milk and cows were brought by conquistadors and settled more in the savanna like north center and northern parts of Mexico, so there’s a stronger milk culture the farther north you get. Mexico City is a melting pot.
    I’m still trying to wrap my head around a tamal in a bolillo…. You may wanna try that too.

    Beryl! I just had to pause the video to comment that you cannot not talk about that piano phone! Like, whaaaat? (Sorry if you have shown/talked about it before, I'm out of the loop). Ok, now, carry on… 😆

    So interesting that Mexico City quesadillas don't have cheese; I never heard that before. I tried huitlacoche (sorry if I butchered the spelling of that, being bilingual means messing up spelling in two langauges!) for the first time in a quesadilla place in Mérida, Yucatan. I asked if it was vegetarian and was told it was "como un hongo" and that was all I needed to know haha. It was so good (flor de calabaza is amazing as well if you have never tried it but I digress.) I miss that quesadilla place and huitlacoche so much. Best quesadillas of my entire life; I barely ever eat quesadillas stateside tbh, but those ones were just the best. (Much love to Mérida and the Yucatan and all the lovely gente there. I loved my time there, and I miss it.)

    Hey Beryl! I’ve been reading Anthony Bourdain’s book – World travel: an irreverent guide, where he shares his experience from his trips around the world and kept wondering – why don’t you publish a guide/ cookbook with all the beautiful recipes from around the world you have gathered? I personally would love to own one and use it as a daily inspiration for my home cooked meals ❤️
