      Planet DarkInch yes, quality should be the same, depending on the area you are you will probably pay extra, also Superama is a bit pricier than other supermarkets, they all have mostly the same stuff.
      You’ll find fresh chorizo in the same places where you get produce, much tastier than the one he bought and probably cheaper too.
      Something that you find everywhere are bakeries, amazing fresh bread made everyday, I wish he had gone to one of those and try the bread

    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 :)

    1) superama is the high end market in the city, so, even if it was "affordable" it was in the expensive and fancier end of stores.
    2) $10 USD is not a lot of money,.. For most people in the USA, but sadly way too many people in Mexico can't afford what you bought on that day.
    I am not saying that it's a wrong perspective, but it should help clarify the level of inequality that poor people in Mexico has in comparison to poor people in the US.
    It's a loaded topic, but these points should help understand that, there's a large amount of privileges people in the northern western world have that way too many people does not, and getting the tourist experience, while it is enriching, it also is very one-sided for the reality that plenty of people have in the rest of the world.

    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...

    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.

    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.
