    Wouldn't be better to show how the locals do it instead of showing how a bunch of hipsters chefs understood it?

    I dont know. This would have been way more interesting if they had let the locals show their cooking as it is. It's some well deserved and needed attention. These guys pretty much ended up taking the local ingredients and using the same concepts they always use to cook. I'm not sure if they really learned a new perspective.

  • @Cheedillow
    @Cheedillow 10 ปีที่แล้ว +65

    Here's what bothers me about the mentality of the chef, they go on this trip and discover all the great traditional foods. But when they try to demonstrate it, they take a completely wrong approach, they westernise it, not in gastronomic sense, but in the way they serve it, small portions, well presented, and ultimately expensive. They take the soul out of it.

    • @FrancisBurns

    @Mpathtic 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I think its so odd how they go to these places and soak up the culture, learn new cuisine and growing habits, just to bring it back to their modern kitchens and make what they learned into the type of conceptual cooking that they claim to want to escape. Either way, I'd eat the iguana and I liked learning about milpas.

    Vice, I hope you can find better and possibly open minded people who wouldn't mind trying new food and cultures. Seeing that one woman scoff, make faces and noises when the lizard was being prepared was disrespectful. I understand seeing an animal being mutilated is not a pretty sight, but at least try to be mindful of your actions and facial expressions especially around people who appreciate the food that is being prepared. You don't have to like the food, but at least be respectful.

    • @canguian

    • @LuisitoMusic
      @LuisitoMusic 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Charles Anguiano This is like the third video where I see you bitching about the chefs. Alessandro didn't make cook it raw for the ignorant audience of keyboard critics. He made it for the chef's he invites on these journeys. So that they learn about a different culture other then their own; to learn about their cooking techniques and ingredients and expand their culinary knowledge. This isn't about teaching an audience how to cook Iguana or how to cultivate corn and beans. If you want to learn how to prepare iguana use your 21st century way of thinking and google it.

While the natives, which prepared the pieces for the meal weeks before vice would be getting there, showed them their land, and cooked meals for them.What do they get? Absolutely nothing, probably just a muchas gracias.

      I have tried it, although I'm not sure it is authentic Indonesian food, and I felt i very different. I don't know how to describe it, but the thing I can point out is the lack of corn. Almost all mexican food has corn... and as mexican, I love corn... everything should be eaten in tacos (just a jest).

    • @UrbanRubble
      @UrbanRubble 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The situation of the Native Peoples in what is now Mexico is very different from the situation in what is now the US. The English colonists succeeded in exterminating nearly all of the natives up here, those that survived were put into reservations. The Spanish killed plenty, but rather than full extermination, the indigenous of Mexico more or less mixed with the Spanish colonists over time, and obviously were never rounded up and put into camps. Mexico has a much more diverse and thriving indigenous culture, their people still practice indigenous religions, speak indigenous languages and practice indigenous agriculture. You can't compare it to Alaska or anywhere in the US where the indigenous population was more efficiently suppressed.
