I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned this here but I’m a Mexican-American currently studying to be a pastry chef. Why do I suddenly bring this up? Because I just watched “Mexican Week” in the Great British Bake Off. Overall, I just feel greatly disappointed. This show was one of my inspirations to go into this career path. Sadly. I expected more. It takes one google search to find hundreds of amazing delicious rich baked goods that would’ve been great to highlight. Instead they didn’t do any of that. They made no effort in giving Mexican baking the respect or praise it deserves for it unique techniques, flavors, and qualities that is only seen in Mexico.

I know that some of you will argue that they just didn’t know and that they didn’t mean to offend people, but that’s no excuse. They just didn’t care. They make such a huge effort in highlighting the baking history and techniques for other cultures like French and Germany. Just because they aren’t familiar with it doesn’t mean that they can’t google it, hell, hire a Mexican pastry chef to  consult and provide advice to the production and crew. There is no excuse that in the year 2022 something like this should be acceptable.

However, from all of this, I have been inspired once again. I’m making a promise to myself to study and give Mexican baking the respect it deserves. I’ll make it my goal to prove to people that Mexican baking is worth the effort to learn and isn’t just a stupid gimmick. So maybe call that a win.

Does anyone I follow and am mutuals with watching Great British Bake Off?

I was warned about the Mexican Week episode and my god. It is SO bad, how the fuck did they allow this to fucking air? It’s also full of racism and stereotypes and bad jokes right off the bat.

What the fuck is going on?

people overestimate how much spices are put in mexican cooking. its truly not that many. maybe a few herbs for caldos here and there, salt pepper ......................... we genuinely dont use that much. i mean i use garlic salt but its garlic salt. its just garlic garlic isnt a spice. most of the heat comes from chiles. of which we only use like 5 types regularly. maybe for some special dishes we need different spices like cinnamon or smthn but thats if youre making mole sauce which most of us would just buy the glass container from the store. indians actually use a lot more spices than mexicans even tho our foods r usually called super spicy we get heat from different places
