grandma tip. you should remove the skin from those poblanos, first you roast them directly in the stove, untill they're burned, then you put it into a plastic bag and into the freezer, after 15 minutes you remove from the freezer and peel them, and then you can use it, for rajas, or for chiles rellenos or chiles en nogada :)

Thanks for posting. Very good video, if this is not your regular format you might consider doing it more often because it worked well, a little bit "fresher". The tortilla conundrum... There are thousands of tortillerías in Mexico City, so, as you say, there maybe some bad ones and some better ones, but it is an exaggeration to say "all tortillas in Mexico City are the worst". When I was a child, growing up here in Mexico City in the late seventies, you'd be back from school at 2:20 PM "la hora de la comida" (lunch time) and your mom would have made picadillo and red rice with carrots and peas and you'd be sent to the tortillería round the corner, you'd carry your plaid kitchen cloth so as not to have to pay for the wrapping paper, and while waiting in line you'd be offered a "salt" taco, which is basically a warm tortilla straight out of the machine sprinkled with salt and tightly rolled with expert hands. Fond memories... Finally, my $0.02 on the poblano pepper, so, yes, no absolutes and never say never. But... Poblano Peppers have a very fibrous outer skin, so from the standpoint of texture, it is better for most recipes, and particularly for "chiles rellenos" (which I didn't see you try on your trip, you should really do) to roast and peel the chile poblano like you would do with a red or green bell pepper. There's people in Mexico (my wife amongst them) whom will immediately notice and call you upon the fact that you didn't peel your poblano. Keep the good work and I insist you deserve more suscribers.
I'm from Mexico, for 190 pesos I bought a full crate of fruit and veggies, enough for the week, then I used around 7, 8 dollars a day (for a family of four) on meats and stuff, but if you wonder, the salary for a cook (is what I was before covid) is anything between 100 to 150 dollars a week. Including tips, so yeah, is cheap but expensive...
A little fact : Did you know that McDonald’s pays about a dollar an hour in Mexico ? Unfortunately in Mexico it’s pretty common to get paid a stupid amount of money.
@@CyberneticBread He say that based on 8 hours of work, that can legally pay you $120 pesos ($5.52 USD), and thats actaully way worse than one dollar per hour, a lot of people would love to be paid one dollar for hour i´ll raise the minimun salary pay almost 30%,
Here in mexico its easy to make a good meal with little money because a lot of food is grown and produced here. On the other hand the US has to import lots of food, hence why the avocado is so expensive over there.
I think in the U.S. it's actually pretty common for "farmer's markets" to have many stalls that will be actually people who buy the produce and sell it to you. In Minnesota, it's not uncommon for them to just go to the same produce depot that most of the co-ops do. It's still a great way to get fresh produce that is locally grown....Please let us know where you are staying in AirB&Bs...I want to go there after you've fixed all the knives.
You had to rinse raw chicken, toast poblanos and put them in a plastic bag 15 minutes to sweat them and then peel the Upper later mix it with the chicken. Just suggestions.
Pro tip always buy the freshest queso oaxaca. Fresh oaxaca cheese is amazing, store bought queso oaxaca tastes like tofu with salt. Fresh queso oaxaca is amazing
who ever one wanna do this you will never forget .........buy fresh tortillas go the close store buy queso fresco and chicherrones (pork fry skin) and some frsh salsa and all that eat on the park ...... that is some experience like no some of use we forgot from our childhod.
As a mexican, you should better keep the tortillas in a container (know as "tortillero") to keep them warm an soft, nothing better than eat your food with a warm torilla :)
The neighborhoods you were in are high end (Roma and Condesa), superama is not in an average neighborhoods is only in upper class neighborhoods, and the dollar is now 25 not 18. I'm sure if you were to try again and in the working class neighborhoods I'm sure you could get twice as much food.
If you ever do come back to Mexico, don't buy sweet bread / pan dulce / form the supermarket, that bread is stale and days old. buy it from a dedicated bakery, there are a ton of them and they're very good especially in Mexico city. Same with the chorizo and chicken, but them at a butchers.
The video is clearly for someone coming to Mexico City from the US (or Canada or Europe), rather than someone who lives there. A Mexico City native does not need any of this information.
I feel like this is the case anytime you travel somewhere with a good exchange rate / lower wages then your home country. Like Americans often only travel to Europe, Canada and Mexico and since Europe and Canada are more expensive than the US, everything being cheap relative to US in Mexico is surprising. But if you also travel to Asia, India, Africa etc. then it becomes more clear that Europe, Canada and US are the exceptions and most other places food is a lot cheaper.
This is why even though US citizens in big cities can have food insecurity and be living in cars on $12 an hour in SF even though relative to global incomes they are making a lot. Because food and housing is so much more expensive in NYC, SF, London, Paris etc.
Instead of a 50 pack munchkin box here in the US, you could buy this meal twice over in Mexico City. Another guy in the comments said the things he even bought here were overpriced.
I came here thinking he meant 10 pesos for the whole week and I was so confused because, first of all, those tortillas would've cost like 13 pesos or more
Wow, we're in Mexico and there's no yellow sepia filter

But if you also travel to Asia, India, Africa etc. then it becomes more clear that Europe, Canada and US are the exceptions and most other places food is a lot cheaper.
This is why even though US citizens in big cities can have food insecurity and be living in cars on $12 an hour in SF even though relative to global incomes they are making a lot. Because food and housing is so much more expensive in NYC, SF, London, Paris etc.
this changes when you hit those small pueblos you can stretch those 10 dollars even more
If you ever been to Mexico City you always hear this guy on a truck saying “ colchones microndas o algo de metal viejo” or something like that
Babish tunes ❤️🖤
Awesome video!
Instead of a 50 pack munchkin box here in the US, you could buy this meal twice over in Mexico City. Another guy in the comments said the things he even bought here were overpriced.
You can try in a later date doing a comparison here in the northern part of Mexico because its a bit more expensive. It would be a good video imo
Bruh, you can eat decently two days with $10usd, try living with $80mxn now that's a real challenge
I’m proud of this guy, anyone else?
This guy is underrated Im Mexican so thank you Bravo!!
3.22 for all those vegetables where in the states it costs that much for one Avocado
the 10 dollars back then were around 200 pesos, and all looks so tasty
I came here thinking he meant 10 pesos for the whole week and I was so confused because, first of all, those tortillas would've cost like 13 pesos or more
Amazing.
Mi Hermano you eat like one of us 😂 😂
Eh, what is this? A Mexican edition of binging with babish? (I'm quoting the music and cooking)
Uufff chorizo chata, great choice
Any one notices the BwB music in the background while he is cooking? That's a cool reference
9:02 chicken looks still alive 😂
