a bit of tacos-n-Beer history
Tacos are the national dish of Mexico, dating back to the Mexican silver mines of the 18th century, when the word taco referred to gunpowder that was wrapped in a piece of paper and inserted into rocks. It was used to excavate the precious ore from mines and was called tacos de minero or miner’s tacos. Today, the word is widely known to signify the leading street food and fast food item in Mexico – thin, flat griddle-baked tortillas topped with numerous fillings, folded and eaten without any utensils.
A taco is basically anything eaten on a soft tortilla, and there is an infinite variety of them. In Sonora, in the north of Mexico, they eat the classic carne asada – thinly sliced meat grilled over coals and topped with salsa, onions, guacamole, and a lime wedge.
The Aztecs drank beer… well, sort of, but not really.
Beer has a long history in Mexico, with Meso-american cultures knowing all about fermented alcoholic beverages long before the Spanish conquistadores ever visited the Americas. A fermented beverage called pulque, made from the sap of the agave plant, was common. But arguably the closest thing they had to beer was a drink called tesgüino or izquiate, which was made from fermented corn, resulting in a light, amber-coloured liquid that was whisked before drinking.
Some traditionalists still make and drink these beverages today.
