Now we are going to taste the main dessert of this region...
And it's the famous papaya sweet... Look how beautiful...
Hello, how are you? Welcome to my channel, I'm Gladys Seara and today I bring you a video...
That I love to record in the channel, typical food
We are at Merida, Yucatan state so we are going to try typical Yucatan food
We are going to know all those delicious dishes and that are made in this Mayan region
Lime soup, black fill, strained tamale, the famous Poc-chuc and some desserts
Like the papaya sweet or lechosa sweet as we know it in Venezuela
So today we are going to know more about the tradition and the culture...
That comes from the Mayan era and it's mixed with the Spaniards and all the traditions...
That continue to predominate today, so today is going to be a nice video
And very yummilicious
We are at Santiago park, this is one of some of the park that exist here
It's beautiful because for its church
Because it is of colonial architecture, like most of the houses and historical places...
Of this city and here in this park is the Santiago market
That is where we are going today... We are at the Panuche Yucateco
We came here for the lime soup, which's a typical dish from this region
And I have tried it in other restaurants but my favorite is here at the Panuche Yucateco
They sell other stuff like chilaquiles, quesadillas, traditional food from all Mexico
And Yucatan dishes like cochinita pibil, black fill, poc-chuc, papadzules, everything from here
But I got here for the Lime soup, you are going to see how tasty and delicious it is
Here is our tasty and delicious dish, the lime soup...
As its name implies, it is a soup with lemon
Bring chicken broth, shredded turkey, and tortillas that are used...
The same to eat nachos
It's so interesting that in Mexico they use the same ingredients to make different dishes
And with tortillas, you can find any meal and they have different names
Let's try it, I know how it tastes
But I'm making the sacrifice for you to eat another lime soup
I love it because it's sour, it tastes a lot like lemon
And as I said before I have already tried other lime soups from other Merida restaurants
But I don't like any of them as much as this one
It's delicious and it's warm and it's not too hot, generally locals...
Eat this dish with something else that can be craving like a panuche...
Or with a taco or something smaller to complement but if I tell you the truth...
This soup is very filling because of the tortillas and the meat it has...
I love it, from all the dishes I've tasted this is my favorite... Now we go...
Now we are ready for our one and half hour tour to arrive at Izamal
And keep tasting Yucatan dishes that are coming next maybe black stuffed or strained tamal
Stay here to see it
Before touring Izamal you must eat
So we came to this restaurant... The most famous of this magical town
To taste typical dishes and have energy and be able to go to the pyramid
Go to the convent, keep exploring this beautiful yellow Mexican town, join me...
In this restaurant, we are going to start with the appetizers, here we have some panuchos
This is a traditional dish from this region, is a tortilla filled with beans
Panucho always come filled with beans but it can have another topping
In this case, they bring it with cochinita pibil and of course the purple onion
That always join the cochinita, in fact, these tortilla...
We saw how they do it in another restaurant that we are going after this visit but you must wait
These are for panucho... The ones that are pumped are to make panucho
But you know how to pump them or they do it randomly?
They do it alone... These are for panucho also
I do like this way... Slow
But at the moment we are going to try the panuchos and other typical food at Izamal
Mexican create so much delicious food
It's delicious because the tortilla is crispy, the bean mixed with cochinita pibil...
Has a great flavor... Let's start with the main dishes
We have here the papadzules that are Mexican whims, I think so
But the dish is made with corn tortillas and boiled eggs
What characterizes this dish is the sauce that they put on top
That is made with pumpkin seeds
It sounds delicious right? And it's super interesting because of the papadazul history...
It mixed because is a dish that comes from the Mayans but also Spaniards
The papadzul is really good, in fact, is called the master food
It tastes a lot to a tortilla but its flavor is neutral, is nothing strong or impressive
The topping makes it have a texture like dirt, is super tasty, it has a minor smoked flavor
But the egg is neutral and it's really tasty
This dish is one of the most famous in the region
From Yucatan, is the famous black stuffed that is made with turkey pork meat...
Among with a hard-boiled egg and super popular its sauce
That is made with many chilis and that mix from those different chilis
Is what makes that characteristic black color
I want to try this, it smells delicious and at this restaurant, this dish must be incredible
So let's stop talking and let's taste it
We took a bit because is blessed
My first time trying black stuffed, I feel happy...
It's weird
Is like...
A strong flavor, smoked, I don't get upset but it's weird for the mix of all the chilis
Slightly spicy
It has a smoky flavor
It is ok maybe if we eat it with tortilla I would like it more
The tortilla cover the smoky, I love the spicy because is not so spicy nor too spicy
It's really tasty, it hits you on the throat... Delicious
Now let's talk about the Yucatan traditional desserts
But we have to mention before the traditional ones of the region
One that is known all over Mexico and it's the famous flan...
This is similar to Venezuelan quesillo
It is made with eggs and it has caramel on the top but this flan is unique
You will only find it in Izamal because it has ball cheese
That is a popular cheese in this region, mainly with the marquesitas that is a typical food
But more street type, you can see it on the street food in Playa del Carmen video
This flan is really soft, spongy and I swear that the mix of the flavor of this
Of the caramel with the ball cheese is way beyond
Is like when you eat a cream that is sweet and savory
With the caramel touch, the best... But now we are having the strong dessert of this region...
And it's the famous papaya sweet
Look how beautiful... This is made with green papaya
In Venezuela we call it lechosa, in fact we also have lechosa sweet
And it's made with green papaya but this one is cooked with firewood
And they cook it for 8 days where this is inside a pot with firewood
Between 8 and 10 hours in one day and it's an elaborated dish it takes a lot of work
And I'm happy to try it and it also has striped ball cheese on top
Ball cheese can't be missed in this region, let's have some water...
I love lechosa sweet, I swear...
That is one of my favorites, is not a new flavor for me
Because I eat it since I was a child at my home
My mom makes a really good one but my aunt makes a better one
In your home, who does the sweet that you like the most? Leave your comments
I going to finish this, don't think I will share it with you two
I finish this and we go back to Merida for dinner
We got back to Merida, we are in the downtown of the city
This is the heart of Merida and we are at La Chaya Maya, a restaurant of...
Typical Yucatan food that I want you to know it today with me
And before eating the typical dishes, I want to share these appetizers or tapas
The famous totopos, that are tortillas with beans and pumpkin seeds
And it's quite consumed in this region and of course, at the Chala Maya we have to order...
Chaya water, which is a typical drink from here and is made with chaya...
That is some kind of spinach, that you see here and you can mix it with lemon, orange, pineapple
The classic one is chaya water with lemon... Here are our dishes and we order pop-chuc
And filled cheese, you may wonder what happened with the cochinita?
Where is it? But we have try cochinita many times, in fact, you have it on my street food video
At Playa del Carmen because in that area they eat a lot of cochinita...
For the influence of Yucatan, Quintana Roo and that's why you can find a lot of Yucatan food
Although, we have tasted here cochinita, in fact in this same restaurant...
We order a cochinita cake that was really tasty
And you can find that delicious meat in tacos, salbutes or gorditas
You can eat cochinita pibil with anything, here I also taste the strained Tamal
As the name implies, it is made strained it means that the dough needs to go through...
A process to make it thin and that's why its difficult to find in any area of Mexico
Well, you can stay in Yucatan and you can taste it here... Let's open the delicious tamal
That is filled... How do I open it? Like this...
It has plantain leaves
This looks delicious... Is filled with turkey, tomato, onion...
WIth sweet chili... So tasty, we should use the sauce like this? There it goes
They decorate the dish with a chaya leaf
That's how the chaya looks... This delight
From Yucatan... So much delight is a sin
Bon appetit
Look a the food that we ordered... We have here filled cheese
That is a dish that teach you about the culture of this Mexico area
Because this dish was created in the 17th century
When the Dutch came to this American area, specifically to Curacao
And they brought the Dutch cheese and then people started to fill the cheese
With shredded beef and pork and currently you eat the filled cheese in Mexico...
The traditional way is to eat it with a ball shape and fill it but also you can find it...
In dishes that we ordered at the Chala Maya
That are two pieces of cheese that are filled
Notice that if we cut a piece of cheese
We are going to find all that delight
With shredded meat and the tomato sauce to cover it
Look... Oh my god... This...
This look beyond, very European because they use raisins and capers inside the fill
I like it more than the black fill, totally...
We let the sun go down, by night we can tour better the city with less hot
And we are in the street enjoying the Merida nightlife that is crowded
After 7 or 8 p.m people turn into the streets
On weekends there is a lot of stands where you can find crafts, typical clothing...
A variety of things that you can buy including food
I'm in the search of a marquesita stand, marquesita is a typical sweet of Yucatan
It was born in Merida in 1930, it was invented an ice cream man that sold a lot in Summers
But his sales lowered in Winter, so he didn't know what to do to keep selling
And one day he invented to sell only the ice cream cone
Without ice cream, everything started with that, time after he put a stuffed to that cone
With the famous Dutch cheese like the one we tried on the lunch with stuffed cheese
And that Dutch cheese was very popular
And he filled the cone with Dutch Cheese and that's how marquesitas were born
And they were called like that because it was the favorites of the daughters of a marquis
They were called marquesas and then marquesitas
That how we now them today, that's how we have these tasty marquesitas in our hands
So thanks a lot to that ice cream man and Dutch that brought cheese to this area of the world
And today we can enjoy dishes like the one we had today during all this day
I must confess that marquesita with ball cheese is not my favorite
My favorite has Philadelphia cheese, mango, and Nutella and you can see it on...
My street food video at Playa del Carmen but this is a classic and it's the most requested?
Yes ... The most requested in all the marquesitas stands, ball cheese with Nutella
A marquesita a day gives you a smile on life
And with our tasty marquesita, we finished today's video
There are more dishes to try, if you have a favorite, leave me your comments
