International Food Day (Mexican Cuisine) 2008/4/29 Mexican cuisine is known for its intense and varied flavors, colorful decoration, and the variety of spices that it has. Mexican gastronomy, in terms of diversity of appealing tastes and textures, is one of the richest in the world in proteins, vitamins, and minerals, though some people characterize it as excessively spicy. When Spanish conquistadores arrived in the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan, they found that the common people's diet consisted largely of corn-based dishes with chili and herbs, usually complemented with beans and squash. Later on, the conquistadores added to their original diet of rice, beef, pork, chicken, wine, garlic, and onions that they brought with them from Spain to the indigenous foods of pre-Columbian Mexico. What makes a meal distinctly Mexican, of course, are the lively seasonings. With a good selection of Mexican spices and some standard pantry staples--grains, fruits, vegetables, tortillas, beans--you can whip up a Mexican dish any time you like.
