Description

We break down the daily meals in Mexico, from breakfast on the go with tamales and atole, to the all-important comida shared with family, and even the light late-night dinners that might surprise foreigners. Along the way, we share cultural curiosities, like why some Mexicans avoid fruit at night, how coffee at night is completely normal, and why hot soup on a hot day actually makes sense. If you’re learning Spanish or simply curious about Mexican culture, this episode will give you a deeper understanding of daily life and traditions that shape the way people eat and connect in Mexico.

Key Takeaways:

  • Learn how meal times in Mexico differ from the U.S. and why dinner is eaten much later.
  • Discover the cultural importance of la comida as the biggest and most social meal of the day.
  • Explore unique food beliefs and traditions, from nighttime coffee to avoiding fruit at night.
