This video is about 10 min long, but the information on this short video is really important as it shows the power food has towards the Mexican culture. In the video it explains the importance of passing down recipes to new generations so that their cuisines never die. So food in a way is part of how these Mexican people identify themselves. From personal experience I myself have made it my mission to learn some of the Mexican foods my mother prepares; but these foods have been passed down from generation to generation. I can see how many of the people in the video identify themselves with the foods they create as it is a part of who they are. In a way it serves as a tool to connect with their ancestors whom have passed these foods. For the video being this short, I feel like it is very informative and educational. It helped evaluate the relationship between food and people as a whole.
