    Let me know in the comments if you grew up eating fideos. Did you have it as a side dish or as a soup? 🥣Also, are there any "dichos" (sayings) you or your parents have said? I'd love to hear them.😊

      Idk why but the first time I had fideo was my high school friend's mom who made it. They're white as I am. I loved it! Now I've got my own family and I want to make it but never learned. West Texas also! Been one place or another between Lubbock and Midland my whole life. 🇸🇴🇵🇱

    Growing up we ate Fideo at least 4 days a week and loved it. When you mentioned “dichos“, that brought back a funny memory. Back in the 1960s My mom would ask us kids what we wanted for dinner. She would ask, you want enchiladas? We’d say no. She’d then ask, you want frijoles? We’d say no. After so many of our rejections, she’d finally say, “pues come caca!” 😂

    In my Mom’s 1950’s Mexican kitchen in So Cal, she used the very thin coiled vermicelli. And we did have it as a side dish. In lean times, there were 13 of us, she would fry up some hot dog “coins” and throw those into the pot. At 72, I still enjoy this homey treat. 👍🏼💕

    I grew up in the southwest as well (Tucson). Mom is from Tucson and dad is from Texas (Uvalde). Mom made it more like a soup and she just called it “fideo”. I've also heard it called “sopa”. People in the southwest and from northern Mexico serve it more dry as a side dish and call it “sopa seca” (dry soup). Regarding dichos, the one that stands out to me was what mom would say if we had a scrape or a cut or bruise. She’s rub the area lightly and say “Sana sana, colita de rana. Dame un besito para hoy y mañana” which translates to “Heal heal little frog's tail. Give me a little kiss for today and tomorrow.” English is my first language, Spanish my second, and Spanglish my third 😊

    • @marcyinspired1442
      @marcyinspired1442  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Loved reading your comment. And, yep, that dicho was another one that made very little sense but was quite popular. I heard it a little differently. "Sana sana, colita de rana. Si no sanas ahora, sanarás mañana." Then one of my uncles had his own version which I wont bother to repeat! Lol We are so blessed to be bilingual because it's like living in two worlds at the same time.

I tried to make it once but it didn’t come out good. I’m glad you made this recipe. I didn’t know it was that easy to make .I’m going to make this . Thank you for sharing your stories love them ☺️💖

    White girl married 42 years to mexican american man. I've been making sopa de fideo for years, but I add chicken bouillon and about of half a teaspoon of mexican oregano, and I use chicken broth instead of water. My kids (now grown) and my husband loves it. Another thing I started doing about a year ago was I make the broth in a separate pan to get the flavor exactly how I want it first, because sometimes it wasn't quite right otherwise, lol. I do it for spanish rice too. I love your videos and watch them all! Can't wait to hear how the house hunting/purchase went!

    Marcy. I’m so thrilled to find this video. My godmother was also from New Mexico. Her father was widowed and moved with her and her younger sister to Sacramento. At the age of 14 my blue-eyed, blonde Irish mother, who lost her entire family, was taken in by this wonderful family. One of the dishes she learned to make and loved was a very dry sopa. It was so similar to your fideo recipe. It was also served with freshly made flour tortillas. I don’t make it too often anymore but I still love it. Thank you.

    I live in a retirement village here in Las Cruces with some of the kindest, most generous people to ever live. One day, a neighbor and I were talking and I happened to mention that I’d recently heard of Fidel, but never had it, and none of the local restaurants served it. The next day, she came to my apartment and handed me a very large bowl of Fideo and two chicken legs cooked in her family’s traditional way. I felt like the King of Doña Ana😊😊(And that is why I will never go back to Louisiana, you just can’t beat the fantastic folks here in New Mexico)

I love that she included a list of those dichos in the back of the book. When I met her in person, I asked her if she'd heard some of the ones I grew up with. I used to get in trouble for singing at the dinner table, and my mom would say, "El que coma y canta loco se levanta." But, I'm proof that wasn't true. (At least, I hope so. Lol)

    This tastes like Abuela’s home to me. The way she made it was with fried thin pork chops and then zucchini added right at the very end. It was called sopa but more of a stew than a soup and not really a side dish. So delicious with freshly made flour tortillas. It warms my heart to know this same dish, with all its variations, is so loved by so many Mexican Americans and Americans from all over the country ❤️🇲🇽✌🏼

    Fideos is truly like spaghetti. Just adding cumin instead of oregano, and shorten the spaghetti noodles. But we too had several nonsensical sayings from our parents. The one I use the most is: "Where are we going?" Answer, "up Mike, down Jake's". My parents admit it never meant anything.

      It's not something you'd find at a restaurant because it's more of a poor man's food. But it is definitely served at home often. Hope you like it. Thanks so much for watching!

    Hi, Marcy! I’m not Mexican (I’m Irish!) but the Irish have a lot of Spanish I them! I was born and raised in El Paso, TX and also lived many, many years in Las Cruces! This food of southern NM is what I have lived on for so many years! Fideos are so good and I am going to use your recipe because mine is too plain! Thank you for sharing!!

    • @marcyinspired1442
      @marcyinspired1442  ปีที่แล้ว

      I didn't realize that about the Irish. How interesting. And it sounds like you've lived where I grew up, so the taste of my fideos should be very familiar. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. ♥

    Oh how we loved fideos. My Gran used to sing "ranna ranna colito de ranna" there is more to it but none of us remember. It was a big giggle fest when she sang it. Gracias Marcy

    • @marcyinspired1442
      @marcyinspired1442  ปีที่แล้ว

      That's adorable. I can picture the giggle fest. Some others commented on the same saying because that one is very well known. It's "Sana sana colita de rana," with different endings. The one I know was "si no sanas ahora, sanarás mañana." Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment.

    Our family loves our fideos as a side dish. The soupy fideos are okay, but we really like them as a side dish and thick like spaghetti. My mother-in-law makes the best. However, yours sounds absolutely wonderful. I can't wait to try yours. That was a great idea to add beef to your v
    Fideos. That would make a great one pot meal for a dinner. I grew up in New Mexico and I speak the language. However, I do have to agree with you. I grew up speaking Spanglish

    Love me some fideos, i like it both ways. A side dish was more the way we had it. I loved mixing it with the rice and beans and what ever fell out of the main course "taco, enchilada, tostada.." mom called it my mexican mess. But with a fresh tortillia it was oh so good. Thanks for the video and god bless!

    Oh, Marcy! I just stumbled across your channel while searching for Mexican side dish recipes. I grew up in Southern California but it's amazing how many of our stories are similar when sharing amongst with other Latinos. Growing up, sopa de fideo or sopa de arroz was a side dish staple with almost every meal my grandmother would cook. We often used the term "sopa" interchangeably whether it was rice or fideo. My grandma would make it the soupier way as you mentioned in the video, and kept the noodles long instead of breaking them into smaller pieces. And those "dichos!" I heard the EXACT same ones from my grandparents and my mom growing up. "Dime con quien andas..." If I got in trouble with friends lol. I often asked a lot of questions and was a bit of a chatterbox. Anytime I started asking too many questions, like "where are we going, what are we doing, what's for dinner" my grandfather would reply, "tolondrones!" Which I knew meant "shut up and settle down, kid" lol. I never knew what that meant until my grandmother gave me the full rhyme when I was older, but it was always clipped to "tolondrones!" in my house lol! The memories came flooding back with your stories, my eyes even welled up a little. 🥹 Subscribed con muchos abrazos!

    I am loving your recipes, they bring me nostalgia. Have you put your fideos in the caldo de res? My abuelita used to add this to the caldo "pa' que rinda" It's delicious!

    • @marcyinspired1442
      @marcyinspired1442  ปีที่แล้ว

      Awe. And I loved your comment. I haven't put fideos in caldo de res, but I know a lot of people put rice, so it makes sense. Abuelitas siempre saben como hacer rendir más la comida.

I just came across your channel last week and you explain your recipes so well and are very easy to follow. We need that because we are senior citizens LOL! I always followed another channel for Mexican dishes, but your’s are simpler and look delicious. Thank you for sharing them! New Subscriber, Sue 😊 7:08

  • @slclark209

    We use that exact same phrase as well. Here a few more from my family in Spain. When someone's standing in front of the TV or otherwise blocking the view: "El carne de burro no es transparente." For the kids when they're young to drive them nuts: "Tu sabes que es el cuento de la buena pipa? El cuento de la buena pipa es de cuento de la buena pipa..." (repeat for infinity). Spanish outlook on life (reference to the bulls in bullfights): "Mejor vivir como un toro que morir como una vaca." Growing up in New Mexico my dad always used to say "Frito Pie." I always thought it was a phrase until years later when I realized what it was. On top of that I used to go to the Five & Dime (Woolworths back then) in Santa Fe made famous in Anthony Bourdain's series when he panned it and was later made to apologize. I got my first Super Ball, Hot Wheels cars and Zozobra doll there every year. Over the past few years I make sopa de conchas once I discovered it. I'll have to give your fideos a go. I do make Spanish fideuá de mariscos in a paella which is very similar to your recipe (use paprika instead of cumin). I generally use bagged mixed seafood and about 31-40 ez-peel raw shrimp (we live inland and I'm cheap ;-)). I use the shrimp shells to make the broth used in lieu the water.

      It's probably not something you would find in a restaurant because it's sort of poor man's food. But it's so good. We had this more often than rice in my home. I hope you try it and that you enjoy it as much as I do. Thanks for watching!
