Ina Garten whitewashes pozole

Two weeks ago, Ina Garten posted her recipe for “ posole ” on social media and Food Network , nevertheless, the recipe was wildly criticized by people.

In her recipe, Garten d isrespects a dish that is at least 500 years old . Pozole was a ceremonial dish enjoying by Aztecs on special occasions.

In the video, the chef can be seen adding bell peppers, black beans, tortilla chips , green salsa and other ingredients that do not belong in a pozole and although it could be argued that chefs can create variations or fusion dishes , Garten's “ posole ” only uses ingredients that have been labeled as “ Mexican ,” even when they actually belong to Tex-Mex cuisine and even by misspelling the name of the dish.

The “ posole ” recipe highlights a more serious issue: the fact that international chefs do not respect Mexican cuisine, one of the first cuisines to be recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by the UNESCO.
