Episode Two: We meet Daniel Hernández, the food critic of the Los Angeles Times. From Cal-Mex to Tex-Mex through Taco Bell and Baja fish tacos, Daniel tells us how Mexican food provides a window into Mexico’s multicultural past and dynamic present. He suggests how we can be open to transnational culinary experiments in Mexican cuisine while honoring the past.
From Potatoes to Tacos: How Mexican Food is Making Waves in Ireland.
Through four episodes, this podcast takes us on a journey through the multicultural history of food in Ireland, with a special focus on the emerging Mexican food scene in Dublin and beyond. We journey from Dublin Castle in the 16th and 17th centuries, to Cal-Mex and Tex-Mex food in the United States, to the emergence of Mexican food in Dublin twenty years ago, to the current popularity of Mexican and Mexican-American street food. Your hosts Dr Catherine Leen, Associate Professor of Hispanic Studies at Trinity College Dublin and Dr Melissa Hidalgo, Lecturer in Women’s, Gender & Sexuality Studies at California State University, Long Beach, meet historians, food critics and food producers in this podcast generously funded by the Fulbright Commission in Ireland.
