Sonoran Food on Both Sides of the Border
On this week's show, Aarón and Zarela discuss Sonoran cuisine with their friend Regina Schrambling. Regina grew up in Arizona, across the border from Zarela's native state of Sonora. Together they reminisce about the meals and treats of their respective childhoods. Along the way they try to spell out how Sonoran cuisine is distinct from Tex Mex, how Pozoles vary indifferent regions in Mexico, and how the advent of refrigeration has changed how we consume meat. Plus, Aarón shares his traditional recipe for Menudo, and his techniques for preparing tongue in the kitchen. And last, but not least, we have several rounds of spirited discussion about the Sonoran Hot Dog.
