    How Eating Shapes History - The Mexican Revolution

    Tierra y Libertad: Food and the Mexican Revolution In Mexico, revolution was as much about reclaiming the land as it was about reclaiming the kitchen. Over a century after the French Revolution, the Mexican Revolution of the early 20th century drew inspiration from ideas of liberty and equality, showing how food could be political. Indigenous ingredients — dismissed as lower class during the entire Colonial period — became emblems of resistance and unity. Corn, beans, and chile spoke for the people in ways politics could not. Artists and intellectuals celebrated these humble ingredients as the foundation of Mexican identity. In this episode, Eva and Maite trace how the Mexican Revolution elevated native foods into a symbols of pride, power, and belonging, connecting the fight for justice on the battlefield with cultural identity at the table. This is part 3 of a 3 part series called, How Eating Shapes History! Haven't heard the first two episodes?

    How Eating Shapes History - The French Revolution

    Liberté, Égalité… Gastronomie: The French Revolution and the Birth of Modern Cuisine  The French Revolution wasn’t just fought in the streets, it was fought at the table. As bread riots shook Paris and hunger fueled rebellion, the collapse of the aristocracy also dismantled an entire culinary world. Former royal chefs opened the first public restaurants, feeding citizens instead of kings and redefining what it meant to dine in a new democracy. In this episode, Eva and Maite explore how food became a language of equality and national pride and how revolutionary ideals gave rise not only to modern dining, but also to the first democratic cookbooks. These cookbooks, written for the public rather than the palace, captured the spirit of liberty and gastronomy that would shape not only France, but the way the world eats today. This is part 1 of a 3 part series called, How Eating Shapes History! Join us next week as we explore the American Revolution.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    How Eating Shapes History - The American Revolution

    Revolution on the Table: The American Fight for Independence and the Birth of National Identity Before independence was won on the battlefield, it was declared in the kitchen. From boycotts of British tea to the brewing of “Liberty Tea” made from native herbs, Americans turned everyday meals into acts of protest. Taverns became centers of political debate and rebellion, while dishes prepared with local ingredients came to symbolize freedom and self-reliance, and act traced in early cookbooks. In this episode, Eva and Maite explore how the American Revolution transformed eating into an expression of resistance and how food helped shape a distinctly American identity. They discuss France’s influence on American Independence, and how Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson brought French recipes and dining customs home, forever changing the nation’s culinary culture.

    The History of the Immortal Olive Tree

    While still in Spain, which produces the most olive oil in the world, Eva and Maite explore the history of the olive tree. Known in mythology as the immortal tree because it can live for thousands of years, it was first introduced to Mexico early on during the conquest. Production of olive oil would eventually be forbidden in 1777 by Spain's King Charles III, who felt threatened when Mexico's product grew in popularity. Also, the women do a taste test, and Eva fries eggs drenched in olive oil for her husband. **In this episode we address how some olive oil labeled "extra virgin" can sometimes be misleading.
