I’m Mayan and Oaxaca and it’s so nice to see this representation of indigenous Mexican cultures. Thank you!

My favorite part of this Mayan food experience was cooking and eating the beans with the lava hot rock. That level of "bean umami" was a first for me. Thank you for watching and hope you're having a great day!

Mark I have to say a big thank you to you, Ying and Micah. If it wasn't for you all travelling to different countries and showing us each countries traditions especially food then I would miss out on seeing the world. Even if I could travel it would be highly unlikely that the opportunity to go to the places you do like small local restaurants, people's homes and some of the smaller villages. You have taught me over and over again that food is what brings everyone together whether we speak the same language or not. We all have to eat and sharing a table with the people from the country you are visiting can be an incredible experience. The drone footage is this video gave us a great view of the area and I really appreciate you taking the time to film it and integrate it into the video. Your relaxed attitude makes your videos a delight to watch. You seem to instinctively know what your audience likes to see. Thank you so much. Xx

So interesting! In Jamaica we use anatto in our cooking also and we do the same tomale but we call it 'tie-a-leaf'. So cool how the Taino Indians left their culture in our cooking. Our jerk style of cooking meat is influenced by them too. Authentic jerk is cooked on smoldering pimento logs and covered by more branches of the pimento tree.

Fun fact! Naranja or sour orange is the original orange used throughout Asia, Europe and the middle East. The sweet orange, which is what we call orange these days is a hybrid between sour oranges and Mandarin oranges that the Chinese developed. Sour orange is still used in Hispanic America for juice and marmalade.

Your work is really breaking out, and its a delight to watch. I loved the confidence you started this episode with, and your off-line research and leg work really showed. This was food at what I consider the pinnacle, and as many viewers have shared analogous experiences this is how you really immerse yourself in a culture and transform from the experience. I bet when you had completed the day, one of the things you walked away knowing in your heart is that the Mayan culture is not dead - it has simply evolved as has all the world. What a gift to the rest of us to share with your wife, your friends and the children a wonderful day!

oats it's snowing in the Midlands now after a Sunny morning.

I'm so excited you went to Yucatan! My parents are originally from there and I've grown up eating most of those dishes here in the states. Makes me glad to see how you enjoyed the food. They are right when they say the hoja santa is very traditional...the lady said the elders mainly eat it. My mom watching over my shoulder didn't know what it was! The pib style cooking is something my parents sorely miss while in the US. It's not often that can be done in the area where we live. Roast chicken is done in the pib too. The onions are something you see very often in yucatec cuisine. They are marinated in lime juice or the sour orange you had at first. The "cupcake" tamale you had I've not seen that small before. More often I've seen it made larger and sliced like a pizza. Also, they have a version in which they place a whole habanero or two in the center so it perfumes the whole thing and makes it spicy. You would've liked that! At least they gave you the pounded habanero. There is some in my kitchen now haha. Wow, so much to comment on. Thanks for visiting!

This reminds me of my grandparents and aunts cooking when I would go to Cenotillo to visit. Great memories. I can taste the cochinita from here.

Wow ❤️ Another authentic travel episode! I always think it’s the best education for Micah to see the world!! Best parents ever 😎

I live in the Yucatan Penninsula and it makes me so happy to see you and your family enjoy the food of our ancestors. Btw, what you saw wasnt a lime or a lemon, its called Naranja Agria which translates to sour orange; its a special orange used to marinate dishes such as the cochinita pibil.

Mark - I just have to say that I love the big, glowing expression you get the moment the food flavors hit your tastebuds! No matter if there's some sauce on your chin or anything! I absolutely love the passion you have for food and diversity and cultures!

You are so lucky to get to eat with them. I am in Yucatan and all the myan food I have tried this far is delicious.

What a great way to learn Mayan culture. Big thank you to you!

With the electricity crisis we're experiencing in South Africa, glad I watched this video and learnt something new on how to cook food in the ground naturally instead of a conventional man made invention of the stove. In the Indian culture, on occasions we also cook on an outside fire and I must say that the food actually tastes far better than a pot on a gas stove. Natural resources like banana and other leaves also gives the food an added authentic taste and it looks as if we in South Africa will soon be left with no choice but to cook on an outside fire like back in the olden days

I love your experience on going to Mexico & eating all these amazing varieties of food. I'd love to do this fantastic voyage someday! I'm so happy to see how your so very generous and very inviting to these wonderful people. This culture really has my curiosity & it eases me to know how places like the ones like this one & all the other places you visited in Mexico are so very welcoming. Thank you for making these great videos! I never miss a chance to see them! Bless you & your little family 😊

Thank you Mark so much for opening my eyes with such an amazing cuisine and culture of Mexico !!

It brings me so much joy to see you enjoying this traditional Mayan Mexican food

Jennifer Moreno.Cordova . A puesto una refresco a que Su esposo se come la comida pero con salsa roja o verde. A mi me gustan las popusas, parecidas a las gorditas mex. Sabrosas. Lo malo de la peninsula de Yucatan es el calor. Que calor.

Jim, Javier is right, and Mexico receives 40 million international tourist a year, is now #6 most visited country in the world, has just passed the UK and Germany, so please stop your BS

Mas de Mexico indigena, por favor!!! More of Indigenous Mexico, please!!

Oh, my, oh, my!! I spent a week on Cozumel and no one told us about a Mayan village to visit!! Want to go.

I do appreciate Mark very much he is such a good person, he respects and loves all the beliefs and culture of any country.

Oooh this video brought back so many memories of my mom, aunts and uncles cooking at my grandparent's house in Tixpehual, Yucatan. Thank you for sharing our beautiful culture to the world. This is the real thing. My grandpa would cook small green pumpkins in the pib oven...they came out oozing with caramelized sugar! 😋

the sauce on his chin.... classic mark😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️

Always explain what makes it unique, make it recogziable. Flavour? Memory? What turn others on? Food is a language, express it.

Are you Mexican?

I am kind of amazed at this, and proud that my Navajo culture shares cooking styles with the ancient Mayans! We also utilize the underground oven, for Kneel Down Bread and Navajo cake. The Kneel Down Bread is made of fresh ground corn wrapped inside of a corn husk and baked in the underground oven. Then the Navajo cake, is made with a dried ground corn flour consistency mixed with hot water, and a paste(corn flour mixture & human saliva). There is a layer of corn husks on the bottom of the oven and the corn mixture is poured in, while layering all sides and the top with corn husks. It is then covered with dirt and a built fire goes right on top of it. It cooks from dusk to dawn. They're both so good. The human saliva part is kind of unusual for an outsider, but normal if you're one of us.

That is amazing, do you think that the mayans could have migrated to the north or vice versa? There's alot of similar attributes in culture and mythology between north american natives and mesoamericans.

Being Dine (navajo) myself, remember their were no borders back then when native tribes all traded with each other. That being why there are similarities between peoples today. My thanks to Mark for sharing his experiences of various cultures.
