Remember to Pack Your Mexican Food

In a 2016 interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Salma Hayek, a native of Coatzacoalcos, said: “There’s one part of my house(s) that actually does not go from country to country, and that is the kitchen. It’s always Mexican.” To note Hayek has houses across the globe, and the first thing she does before she goes anywhere is to make sure that she can have access to tortillas. As mentioned in prior posts, it’s all about preserving tradition and memories outside the home country. Unfortunately, this is a struggle that many Mexicans have, even in the United States, though there is always a better chance of finding the cooking essentials here than anywhere in the world. Obtaining real Mexican ingredients may be difficult, but luckily, the scope of Mexican has reached so far that there will somehow be a taquería five thousand miles away from Mexico. So, maybe like Laura Patricia Ramírez, it’s up to the induvial to start up Mexican restaurants where there are none.
