El Caucasity! Ina Garten’s “Pozole” con Yellow Peppers y Tortilla Chips is an Attack Against México

Ina Garten is facing heavy criticism for her “pozole” recipe and video. In the clip, Garten is seen adding not so traditional ingredients such as yellow bell peppers, black beans, tortilla chips, and green salsa to her “pozole,” causing confusion and frustration for many Latino followers.

Pozole is a Mexican soup or stew and is traditionally made with hominy, pork or chicken, and can be seasoned and garnished with shredded lettuce or cabbage, chile peppers, onion, garlic, radishes, avocado, salsa or limes.

You can see the 1 star rated recipe here on Food Network’s Official Website.

I made a vegan version once from a PurpleCarrot recipe. It’s tasty

But bc non traditional I’m probably no better than Ina lol

LOL. Ina Garten is one of the few white folks whose recipes I don’t find bland.

The problem is that she tought the protein was the base of the hole dish when the real protagonist is the hominy (cacahuazintle) and the meat is the second one. Along the whole country you can have pozole rojo, verde that have pork or chicken as protein, also Casa Toño a restaurant (actually a franchise) in mexico city that is famous for making pozole sell a vegetarian version that is really tasty.

"If you're out of good recipes, the white kind is fine."

nnnnn...!

nnnnn

🌚🌚🌚

i fucking caaan't.

I have never had pozole but the food was my fav part of visiting Mexico

There's so much food to taste here! And what do you think about tacos here?

Fantastic!

My faves were tamales and horchata, I gorged myself on that stuff, I've tried making them myself but it's not remotely the same :|

And penguinos lmao

Of course she would.

My mom didn’t see the full clip but from what she saw (when Ina started adding tortilla chips) she said it looked like pozole batido. Idk if this is that since I’m not familiar. 🤔

She's right

Mama sabe.

No.

I remember walking by a big pot that was on the stove in the kitchen when I was a kid and seeing a pig head sticking out of it. Mom was making pozole. I was terrified to eat it for a couple years after that haha

NASTY and she put like cheddar cheese on top in the end???

I don’t really care for it but i really Love the smell

Looks good though, maybe she should call it something else.

Umm. That’s not pozole but it looks good. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I love pozole! We usually eat it during the holidays.

I came across a post the other day that basically talked about how growing up as a minority in the US, we would often get made fun of for the cultural cuisine that we would bring to school, only to grow up and find out that white folks are now gentrifying it and capitalizing off of it as their own. They love the food but don't respect or love the culture and the people.

Yeah, it's really weird to see foods that were maligned during millennial childhoods being repackaged and marketed at us now

Mmhmm.

Yup. Me with my Indian food

There was a video that came out after dump won of some guy celebrating, saying something like "make my tacos bitch". pfft.. just go to taco bell you dumb cracker.

I remember when I first went to American schools, I was weirded out by kids eating bread with peanut butter and cellury for lunch. I was like... How are they not hungry? Soon I realized my food was the ~weird~ food and I was so afraid to bring rice/beans combination to school bc I would get made fun of.

People are annoying. They find out where I’m from and it’s all “Oooo I made a curry” or some bullshit story about how they tried to make jerk chicken when they came back from ~the islands~ but they toned it down because it was ~sooooo spicy there~. I also had a very Caucasian lady try to tell me about this amazing thing she used on her skin, that I probably had never heard of. It was motherfucking coconut oil!! Ughhhh!

some bullshit story about how they tried to make jerk chicken when they came back from ~the islands~ but they toned it down because it was ~sooooo spicy there~.

lololol

I just went to the Caribbean a few months ago and I ordered a lot of Jerk chicken (because seafood is not my favorite and most of the restaurants had mostly fish entrees) and every waitress kept asking if it was "too spicy." I'm from Texas and LOVE spicy food and all of it was delicious.

I always try to make different kinds of cuisine, but I always find that I never get the spice mixture just right. I've been trying to make Tom Yum for months but don't quite have it right.

oooh are u jamaican?? I was born in the us, but my whole fam is jamaican.

So much ignorance from white ppl. so many terrible puns.

please don't let the YTs drive up the price of coconut oil

I totally agree with the second paragraph, especially re: the cultural aspects. Hell, at least once a year, I encounter some white person (usually at work) that talks about how “barbaric” or “improper” it is to eat with your hands, and I slide right in with a PSA about how many cultures, including my own, eat that way. The backpedaling is truly a sight to behold.

yup - like when white ppl apparently discovered tumeric a few years ago

Yes, I remember hiding my food and eating it after everyone had finished eating it because there was always someone that complained about the smell.

I used to make my mom make me grilled cheese sandwiches that would end up gross and cold by lunchtime because I didn't want to hear other people ask me why my food is so smelly (I'm Indian btw).

Your last sentence reminds me of when Hasan Minaj made a joke of how he'll see Fox News correspondents trash Muslims and then go to the falafel truck for lunch.

yup now people buy $15 for one serving of ~trendy ethnic food~ in whatever hipster portion of the city they live in

That just looks gross.

My aunt makes a mean pozole. The broth is red, cabbage, radish, cilantro, lime....no cheese or sour cream. Its so good.

That sounds delicious!

Pinterest is full of white washed recipes and just plain weird takes on 'ethnic' food. I stopped looking for anything non european on there when i clicked on recipe after recipe of "lo mein" with spaghetti noodles.

Pinterest also manages to fuck up European food tbh

Making me excited for tamale and pozole season.

The real question is red or green?

(My fam does green. I like extra cabbage, onion, and hominy in mine.)

I'm so ready for chilly fall weather. My boss makes delicious tamales for the staff for Christmas every year.

I need a good pozole recipe to start tinkering with.

"monstrosity" is a wee bit dramatic

as a mexican, it is a monstrosity. the whites just like to take and take. i like ina, but like white sis should've just sat there and ate her food.

Nah , also u know, hyperbole

welcome to internet civics in 2019

This is not a monstrosity. When the NY Times advocated making guacamole out of green peas, THAT was a monstrosity.

Ewwww nooooo, that's just not right.

Wouldnt that be mushy peas?

I have not because representation of middle and south American cuisine is sorely lacking in this country.

i'm so sorry, bb.

i couldn't live anywhere that doesn't have access to legitimate mexican/tex-mex cuisine.

I have issues eating Mexican food outside of my tiny area of Sonora/Baja.

Everywhere else just makes their food so saucy/cheesy/messy. Gross.

Also I dread leaving for grad school and no longer having access to Mexican-Chinese food.

Pozole Is a food from Mexico (part of north America) and some central American countries, not south America, you could say Latin American cuisine just to generalize
