The Soup (Originally) Made from Human Hearts

Pozole is the sacrificial Mexican soup that was (initially) made from human flesh.

Chef Claudette Zepeda describes how pozole is a common and celebratory food with dark spiritual ties, as it was originally made with the human flesh of the Aztec's detainees, and later on replaced with pork when the post-conquest Catholics banned cannibalism.

  1. I literally just wrote down every word… That is a great history lesson. This is the kind of food history i wish i had learned in culinary school! Thank you so much!
    Not gonna lie, pretty crazy tho…๐Ÿ˜ฎ

  2. โ€œ Spaniards landing on OUR landโ€
    – 1/16 Aztec

    Lol what a woke goober ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿค™๐Ÿพ

    1. Yeeeah youโ€™ll find that rape & mass displacement plus โ€œreschoolingโ€ indigenous kids has a major effect on eventual gene pools.

      Science is funny like that, right bud

    2. she’s not Indio Id be surprised if she’s 1/16th @iainburns4493

    3. @berny5790 Its not a mystery, Spanish and Portuguese people fucked every Indian in sight, they took wives from Native populations, royalty in some instances to legitimize their claim to the lands. It is what it is. My ancestors were conquered 2000 years ago y the Romans, but luckily they never really left a genetic imprint because we were a Province (primarily to extract tin) not a Colony. In the instance of Romans colonizing my ancestral lands they killed 1/3 took 1/3 as slaves and left 1/3 to toil for the Empire. Whatayagonnado?

  3. I eat pozole because it’s delicious. The Aztecs were mega based for eating hearts.

  4. unsubbed because the vids have been str8 garbage for the past few years and this is the final straw

  5. I only the read the bottom caption and looked away to just listen to the short and when she said pozole i turned my mf head so quick BOOOY

  6. “it predates the Spaniards landing on our land”
    Shes genetically 3/4 Spanish

    1. I mean if she was born in Mexico. She’s more Mexican then Spaniard. Do you think a person born in the US with Chinese decent is not American?

    2. โ€‹@GOREDO5Where did I imply that she isn’t Mexican? My point is that she is distancing herself from the atrocities of her ancestors.

    3. @xavier6037ย  so the people who where the victims of those atrocities. Are they not her ancestors also?

  7. One of my favorite soups and Iโ€™m not a big fan generally. I love the process of making it too.

  8. Talk about a native Aztec warrior princes.
    He bloodlines definitely chowed hearts on the defeated ๐Ÿ˜…

  9. The comments are so sad. Lots of angry people here. I hope you all find peace and realize we are all one. Canโ€™t even learn a bit of history (donโ€™t forget it was erased by the winner of war) without arguing about it like you were there.
    Everyone should be here to learn not fight. โค

  10. Yeah, I use the original recipe โคโคโค๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜‹.

  11. โ€œOur landโ€ like sheโ€™s fully indeginous. Give me a break ๐Ÿ˜‚
