Let’s not speak incongruently. Our fellow countrymen and women only add value in every field—not just in agriculture, but also in economic and commercial sectors, and particularly in one of great relevance: gastronomy. This field not only spreads culture but also sticks, like glue or something sticky, to the fabric of society.

Gastronomy is undoubtedly an ambassador, a seal of our Homeland with a capital “H.” This modest reflection on social behavior demonstrates that our compatriots only contribute positively to the Mexican-American dynamic. They are the vehicles, the engines, and the operators driving more of Mexico outward. Given the economic conditions that facilitate the reintegration of our nationals, our country benefits from bringing more of the world to Mexico—but far more significantly, it excels in taking more of Mexico to the world.

A great example? Benedictine eggs with carnitas. If we extrapolate this to a binational marriage, Benedictine eggs without carnitas would no longer be an option after the husband surprises his foreign partner early one Sunday morning with this dish—perhaps as an affirmation of love or, who knows, maybe as an apology for coming home at 4 a.m., completely plastered, and breaking the window screen.

These are the kinds of things that would make Michoacán’s carnitas transcend, taking Mexico to the world—straight to the palate and the heart 🤌🏻🇲🇽🌐… and who knows, maybe even to good sex 😳🤭😎.
