Mexico: One Plate at a Time - Season 9 - Eps 8: Mercado Madness
"You are what you eat." Brillat Savarin’s statement fuels Rick’s tour of the 21 de Noviembre market in downtown Oaxaca. We uncover the incredibly rich culture of the market and its role in the daily lives and meals of the locals. Mounds of tomatoes, chiles and cilantro inspire salsa. Fresh chickens inspire Rick to spit-roast chickens in his backyard grill. Baskets of black beans motivate a platter of enfrijoladas topped with chorizo. The amazing market day ends with a stop at Chaguita, a 200 year-old frozen ice and ice cream stand and a favorite of Rick’s for more than three decades. At home, Rick inspires us with his simple coconut ice and a deep-pink jamaica syrup.
