Wish we Cherokee's could take the honor for finding out about nixtamalization, how ever it was in fact the ancient natives of Mexico that discovered it. They deserve the credit for hominy, and quite a few of Mexico's epic foods.
@@bananatron6930 Likely trade, there is quite a bit of evidence of exchanges between tribes. Look up Cahokia if you aren't familiar, massive native American settlement
@@bananatron6930 There was a lot of trade you find evidence in the jewelry and food. What was most interesting is that trade between north and south is a far more diffcult thing for people at that time to accomplish unlike east to west or west to east like what took place in Europe, Middle East, and Asia. Because climate and UV intensity changes far more drastically, which plays a huge role in the settlement of agriculture and animals so things would take a little more time for selective breeding and adaption
So this is SUPER LATE, how ever it may have come from cultural exchange via migrations. I picked up semi-recently that there is apparently a myth about the Cherokee tribe traveling up and through South, Central, and North America to where they settled along the east coast. It's highly probable that it came from cultural exchange due to migration instead of trade!
I know this as a Mexican thing (& Central/S. American). I didn't realize tribes in the US nixtamalized their corn as well. I buy the nixtamalized dry corn for menudo and pozole and cook those instead of using canned.
Sharing our cultures with an open mind is where it’s at! Love your guest, I would have asked a few more questions about her dress or any other traditions tied to consuming hominy. I like it🤷🏼♀️
I'm Colombian, I'm amazed by the fisical resemblance native Americans and some native tribes of my Country, but what it blows my mind even more is the the food and ways to prepare them is just exactly the same especially with the corn.
Physical resemblance shouldn't be too shocking, as you're both/all descendants of Asians that crossed the land bridge 1000's of years ago and migrated down through the America's.
Indigenous people of Aotearoa (New Zealand) call that rotten corn. Aroha mai it's fermented corn (like sauerkraut) but apparently it tastes like porridge?

Now forgive me, but as a southerner I always learned (since my mother made it often) that a corn and bean stew was a sucotash (which I suppose is a mistranslation of a native word for a type of stew) and hominy referred specifically to ground corn grits.
Your mother is right. Both are Algonquin dishes and names adopted by the Cherokee. Succotash is usually corn and lima beans, but any beans can be used.
You're thinking amerindian not Algonquin. That's a tribe from like Ontario/Québec regions of Canada. Not close at all to Cherokees. The Algonquins also didn't est this.
Maleya hasn't seen his show and she even knows his food isn't appetizing!! 😂😂😂 Native Americans from Canada to Chile make and eat hominy. In Mexico we use it in pozole which is Nahuatl for hominy.
That's pretty cool, I like to see how distant cultures can still share specific customs and traditions from a common root like for example here the Amerind language family points to the majority of native American cultures sharing a common root
@@gradybrowning3976 nixtamalization was invented in central Mexico by the "Aztecs" the Cherokees and other tribes up North learned the process through trade and travel.
There's a very real risk of malnourishment, starvation, and Pellagra when arriving at sustenance based on corn/maize; the ash-lye chemically alters corn's composition creating bio-available nutrients which otherwise remain indigestible: being full of food and still starving, is a slow death, precipitated by skin-disease, psychosis, and gastroenteritis.
Fluffy ash from a live-wood-fire is a seasoning; try an ash crust on venison: prepare the meat and then lay the portion into the ash momentarily on both sides, allowing the juices to pick up an ash-rind. Ash conveys flavors to another plane of savoriness; each wood tastes different, I suggest madrone and manzanita.
I assume this is a small clip of a larger episode? Because they went from pouring the ash into a pot to crunching corn with a big stick and then there was bean and hominy soup?
I admire the Indian culture. The stories, the art. The food, I especially want to try. Not only does it look fresh and delicious, it seems like quite a healthy diet. I’d say vegetarians and vegans could find something from it to enjoy. Seems like the best food for any fitness focused people out there too.
Ive just recently been on a mission to find the real hominy grits I grew up with. We had it with EVERYTHING! When I say you can make a whole meal around grits. They only have instant in the stores. Not the same texture and taste. I won’t be able to go grind my own but I can enjoy your video. Shoot I want some grits and gravy right now please.🥣
You use dry ash, not charcoal, which is unburned wood. sift ash through metal colander. 1 part wood ash, 1 part corn, 4 parts water, in non-reactive kettle. Simmer one hour, let stand as is over night, rinse several times while rubbing between hands to remove pericarp (shell) and ash. Use hominy as is or grind to make masa. Dry masa and then grind to make masa harina.
This is one of those foods that make me wonder - how on earth did they come up with this? And if the lye in the ash is so corrosive... wouldnt it be bad for our intestines? Dont get me wrong - i really like grits. But to tell u the truth, i never even realized it was made from corn. i always thought hominy was a grain all its own.

Wish we Cherokee's could take the honor for finding out about nixtamalization, how ever it was in fact the ancient natives of Mexico that discovered it. They deserve the credit for hominy, and quite a few of Mexico's epic foods.
I'm actually curious: was it discovered independently two different times? Or was the information communicated by trade/other interaction?

I love Gordon for one reason. He says it like it is. Gordon gives 0 F's when it comes to telling folks the truth. Your a Boss Gordon.

Too funny catch the look on his face

caustic mixture 🤣
Can we just all appreciate how these videos are 4 mins and 20 seconds long?

Beans and corn prepared well outdoors.

Can you point me to some Lecture on this?
I like hominy with lots of butter and black pepper. But l prefer grits. Which are just coarsely ground hominy. They don't take nearly as long to cook.
What a thumbnail?
Amazing 🤩
Malia is beautiful!!
She's gorgeous the mother of America
This show is just so great
Yes
This is not your first Gordon Ramsay Uncharted clip, and it won't be the last.
I grew up eating Hominy. Hard to find a good Hominy these days.
Awesome,I hope Gordon learned something new!🤣🤣🤣
I love her
Nice video.
In Angola it´s "Cachupa", with more ingredients... It´s so good!!!
I feel bad for that girl left on that forest alone cleaning the mess while Gordon done tasting the food.

Try a food processor if you don't want to use a mortar. That may make the texture you're looking for.
Butter, Salt, and Pepper! No need for beans or soup or whatever else. Quite tasty.
That looks good
She had no patience for Gordon at all 😅
I really wish they would show how the charcoal was used; they completely skipped that part. I really want to make this :’(

Just a little smug Gordie
You know you've made it when your cashing checks from National Geographic
i have no idea what they just made
It's better cooked with ham or streak-o-lean.
