The perfect gift for a Mexican-food lover « The Mija Chronicles
Last week over lunch at El Cardenal , one of the restaurant’s owners, Marcela Briz, stopped by our table. Dining with me were some fancy guests — Penny, two chefs from the States and Ruth Alegria . So Señora Briz graciously gave us each a little present: a lotería game she researched and designed based on traditional Mexican foods.
I’ve seen riffs on the traditional lotería game before, but never anything that focused specifically on food. This game is actually quite educational. Each card contains a detailed description in Spanish of a variety of Mexican foods and cooking utensils. There’s a metate, comal, molcajete, cazuela, plus prehispanic foods like chinicuiles (maguey worms), amaranto and flores de maguey. And dozens more.
If you’re not familiar with how to play lotería (I actually don’t have much experience), Wikipedia says it’s like bingo except with pictures . Sounds easy enough. I wonder if you can play with mezcal?
As of now, the game is only available in Mexico City. You can find it the El Cardenal location inside the Hilton Hotel on Avenida Juárez, and at the Museo de Arte Popular. It costs 35 pesos, which seems like a steal for the amount of work that went into this.
If you’re a fan of Mexican cuisine and you’re passing through the city sometime soon, you should pick one up.
Mija (pronounced "ME-ha" and also spelled m'ija) means "my daughter" in Spanish. My dad calls me mija. I chose it as the name of this blog for various reasons.
As a third-generation Mexican-American woman, the word represents a piece of my culture that's trickled down and lasted through the generations. (Spanish fluency didn't make it in our family.) If I can proudly call myself mija, without having grown up bilingual, what other parts of my Mexican culture can I reclaim?
Turns out, what I love most about Mexican culture is the food. So that's what I blog about.
