Dear all,

Today, we had the pleasure of sharing Mexican food at home. We enjoyed some tacos, guacamole and chocolate cake for dessert.

Mexican cuisine is recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. It is one of the few cuisines in the world to receive this honor, thanks to its deep-rooted traditions, unique flavours, and use of native ingredients like corn, chili, and beans.

Did you know that Mexico is the birthplace of chocolate? The ancient civilizations of Mexico, like the Aztecs and Mayans, were the first to make chocolate drinks from cacao beans. It was considered a gift from the gods and was even used as currency.
