I am probably the weirdest human alive because I am collecting them. Gluten free. Gooten
free. Gooten free. [laughter] Go ahead and goov them a shout out. [laughter] Happy Saturday Tangerine Tagalongs! We
are very excited to be taking the recommendation of one of our subscribers
today. We are heading to a festival but not just any festival. It's a vegan
festival at Jardin Americana, is that right? Jardin Americana, sí.
It's a free festival. We've never done anything like this before in Mexico.
Gotta think that it's because Mexican cuisine is very structured around cheese
and meats, but here in Guadalajara the vegan culture apparently is very strong
and prevalent. We have been to a taco festival in Mexico
never is anything like this. We've been to one (A vegan food festival) in Scottsdale and it's 20 bucks
to get in, and then you have to spend like 10 bucks to try any little bit of food. Yeah we're
really excited to be going to this because it's centered on healthy food,
which is something that lately I feel like we pretty desperately need.
Yesterday, we went to the restaurant Organic Now once again. It felt so
refreshing to have a healthy meal. A lot of the delicious food that we enjoy so
much in Mexico is just that, super, super good, but it does sort of weigh you down
after a while. Lots of cheese and carbs and stuff. Yeah. We are walking
there right now because we were fortunate enough to be just 18 minutes
walking distance, and it is a beautiful day in Guadalajara. We're enjoying the
nice fresh air and stretching our legs working off some of that cheese and
carbs. Jordan's REALLY stretching his legs! If you haven't already please subscribe
to our channel. This is just one of the many adventures that we are going to be
going on here in the delightful city of Guadalajara over the next two months,
maybe more. "Mala leche?" Bad milk? Is something lost in translation here
because I don't get it. We've heard before that there's some phrases that
have to do with milk like "That's the milk" or something
meaning "That's cool" but I've never heard of one being the opposite. Let us know
down in the comments, what are we missing here?
Hello. Hello. What price are the tamales? Twenty pesos.
And what flavors? I have mushroom and spinach.
Does it contain onion? I'm allergic. This, no.
Thank you.
We got a tamal with spinach. I already tried a little bite of this. Oh my gosh, it's so good! Mmmhmm.
There's so much flavor in this. And vegetables. Vegetables. In tamales.
How are you? Hi. I'm well, thanks. Great!
What can I offer you? We would like mango juice. Mango juice? Yes. Yes, of course.
Twenty-five? Twenty-five, yes. Thank you! Thank you!
We got this juice for 25 pesos. It's mango and basil, let's see how it is.
Lots of pulp, I Iike that. It makes it taste fresh. Also, it's better for you because it
slows down the absorption of sugar in it. But yeah, it's a pretty good combination flavors.
I'm surprised there's no green from the basil, it must be an infusion of some kind.
MMM But you can certainly taste the basil in here. YUM!
For 25 pesos I was actually expecting them to have a big jug of it and just
scoop it into a cup. I didn't think it would come bottled. This is really refreshing. I feel like I need some more food to go
along with it. What do you think? I feel like we do! [Laughter]
You have vegan cheese, soy al pastor, cilantro. [Speaking Spanish]
Does it have wheat flour? No, it's masa. It's corn.
Ah, okay. How much does it cost? Fifteen. Fifteen?
Do you guys want to try it? Is it without onion? You can talk to me [in English]. Okay. No onion? Sure, yeah.
We're trying to learn Spanish so. Okay, [in Spanish] without onion. Thank you. Where are you from? Arizona.
Thank you.
Yeah, that's pretty good. [Laughter] That was messier than I thought. Wanna get one? Sure!
So to my best understanding, this is a vegan sope with what I think is somewhat of like soy chorizo on top.
And there's this delicious-looking salsa right here.
It's a little bit more dense than normal, other ones that we've tried. But theres still a ton of flavor! And this salsa, wow! You can tell that's fresh.
[Speaking Spanish] One chorizo. One potato with chorizo? Just one? Just one. Of course.
[Grill frying]
So we got this not knowing what a pomaza was, but it said papas and chorizol
By the way, soy chorizo. It turns out it's like a torta or sandwich type deal bathed in red sauce.
And it also has cream and cheese. And the cream is made out of soy.
The cheese is made out of almonds. I'm going to give this a try. Okay yep
this is going to be messy. Good luck!
That has got to be jammed packed with flavor. What does it taste like?
It's actually not as flavorful as I thought it'd be. Really?
It seems like, I mean all that sauce on there. I feel like the most flavorful part is the sauce on the outside.
But, I don't really taste a whole lot on the inside.
It's not bad or anything. And this was 50 pesos.
So we're here at the vegan fest in Guadalajara, and we happened upon
Simply Vegan Bakery where they create gluten-free and vegan pastries. So we are
here with the owner now. Hello everybody! My name is Maria and let me introduce you
to my little bakery. We're really excited to introduce you to all the different options that there
are for people who can't handle actual gluten, etcetera. We are pleased to serve you.
So they're just starting out here, but this is a really awesome business, we
just got a cookie and as you guys probably know I don't get to try very
many treats because usually they have gluten flour or wheat flour, so we're pretty excited
to be trying this out and highlighting a local business.
These two awesome ladies are working really hard.
All right, gluten-free cookie.
These are impossible to find! But we found them. We're giving this a try.
MMM. You would never know. You would never know it didn't have the wheat flour. This
is really good! Wanna try? Yep! Does it have a coconut? Yes! Okay, I thought I tasted a hint of coconut.
It has got a lot of flavor!
That's what people don't get about gluten-free or vegan cooking. It doesn't
have to taste like cardboard or some gross thing. In can be way better than the other stuff!
But it's difficult to make it vegan and gluten free. So I actually did a blog for a number of years
called "Sharing Every Bite" and it's gluten free and vegan.
And gluten free cooking is really hard on its own because you have to compensate with extra water.
And then vegan cooking is really difficult because eggs are often what bind everything together.
So it is no small feat to create something that tastes this good! Thank you! So good job to you guys!
In the chronicles of Maddie saying dumb Sh^& in Spanish, Maria just asked me if we're
from here? Or where are we from? And I responded yes in Spanish because I
thought she was asked if we wanted to eat the cookie here. I just said yes.
And so she laughed, she was like oh how funny. She said "Que chistoso!" or "How funny" but that
was before we had said we're from elsewhere because you said we're from
here. yeah. And she's like "Oh how funny" like I would never have guessed. Nope! Just me not knowing what people are saying in Spanish! Like usual. [laughter]
So we got one of their cookies and it was so good that we have to go back and get another one. Wo we
have twenty more pesos. I'll be right back.
We went back to the tamales stand
and we got another one. It's kind of weird that you get it and they, they serve it
to you without the corn husk. I thought you were supposed to eat the corn husk.
Cinco pesos los tamales. What are you doing? Don't I eat the whole thing? You don't eat the outside. Oh.
You're like a hyena. [laughter] Still no. Still no.
How is it the second time around? It may actually be better this time. The flavors must just be
soaking in in that cooler. MMM. One thing we've found out in Mexico. If you
ever get a chance to buy something out of someone's cooler, do it! Do it!
Don't even think about it. Don't question it, just do it. Seriously, some of the best food we've
had was purchased out of a cooler. The best tacos I've ever had were purchased out of a guy's cooler
sitting in front of an OXXO. I would never have done that in the US.
Now, I do it every time.
So this is a ginger beer with probiotics in it, no alcohol.
Good for you, healthy superfood. It tastes like a kombucha. Yeah, it's different from kombucha kind of because it's fermented.
Yeah, it has a little bit of similar essence to it but. Yeah because of like the fermentation, but it's actually
the only organic ginger beer with probiotics. In Guadalajara? In Mexico.
It has 5 shots. So you drink it every morning.
Like a power shot every morning and then you get all the benefits from the turmeric the rest of the day.
It has probiotics as well. I would like to buy a bottle of clara. Clara? This is
much more powerful flavor. I can tell why you wouldn't be drinking the whole bottle.
It's only like the shot.
Is there ginger in it? The turmeric one? Yes. Okay, that's sort of the kick I was tasting.
It's not only turmeric, otherwise it'd be like very strong. You'd start turning yellow. [laughter]
Thank you. Thank you. So you can follow us on Instagram as well. Coxala. We put like new places where we're selling it. Benefits.
We grow our own ginger and turmeric, organic, in Lake Chapala. That's awesome!
As we we're leaving the vegan festival I saw something shiny
on the ground. At it reminded me of when we first came to Mexico. We saw things
priced at like 10.5 pesos and we were both kind of confused how can you charge
half a peso? What, are they gonna chop a peso in half? Because at that time we
didn't know that there was anything smaller than one peso. Until we saw this
what I thought was like doll money. And they're these 50 cent, half a peso
pieces that are so so tiny, and I am probably the weirdest human alive
because I am collecting them. The smallest form of currency that you could
possibly get. Because I think they're so cute!
She's such a nerd. It gets even smaller! There's a 10-cent peso piece, oh my gosh!
It's so cute you guys, I'm so stoked to have found this on the ground.
Earlier today though Jordan he was going to get our daily dose of mango from our
mango guy. And there on the sidewalk, blowing in the wind, was a 500 peso
bill. There was no one in sight. When things like this happen we sort of look
at it as like a pay it forward opportunity. So whenever we see an
opportunity we're gonna bless someone with a little blessing that we got, but
don't you dare take my 50 cent peso piece because that is mine! We're heading
back from the festival right now, it was awesome that it was free entry. There
were several dozen different booths, with lots of different stuff from drinks, and
food, makeup, essential oils, cookies. In total, we spent how much today?
I think it's 220 pesos. For two people to eat and we
have a drink, the ginger beer that we're taking home with us. For food that is
largely organic, made fresh from scratch, and vegan, I think that's a pretty darn
good deal. Best of all, you being able to find gluten free and vegan cookies. Gluten free vegan cookies! Yes! That was awesome and those cookies were so good!
So good! So if you're in Guadalajara and you're looking for Gluten free desserts, give them a shout. That stuff is good.
Gooten-free desserts. Goo gluten-free. Gooten-free. Go ahead and goov them a shout out. I really
think this is one of the coolest things that we have seen in Mexico. For such a
small space that that was held in there were so many booths. And we also thought it
was really cool that when we were struggling to speak Spanish people just
jump right in and start speaking English. It seemed like every vendor there was bilingual.
Yeah, just about every one. I would definitely go there again next time. I don't know if
it's an annual thing, a monthly thing, or just this one time. And just as a reminder why
did we even go and do this today? Well it was because of a recommendation from one
of our subscribers which we thoroughly appreciate! We would have never heard
about this otherwise and not had such an awesome Saturday, so thank you for that!
