๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡น Guatemalan Street Food Tour: https://youtu.be/H-fwK4mX6Tg?si=9GArjNDqSIbcSLy6 ๐Ÿ‘• T-shirts: https://store.migrationology.com/ ๐ŸŒถ Ghost Chili: https://amzn.to/3PNTvNQ ANTIGUA GUATEMALA, GUATEMALA - Weโ€™re in the historical city of Antigua Guatemala in Guatemala, Central America, and today weโ€™re meeting up with Rebecca to cook and eat a dish called Kak'ik - one of the best Mayan Guatemalan foods! Actually just outside of Antigua, we drove out to Santa Ana, Guatemala and specifically to Maya-iz where they are aiming to preserve their Mayan traditions and culture through food. We met up with Rebecca d Leon from Kukul Tales who shares a passion for food and culture. We immediately got started cooking the Kak'ik, using a whole live turkey, then roasted tomatoes, onions, cilantro and a variety of chilies, Everyone was roasted and toasted, then ground into a puree and combined in a huge ceramic pot with the turkey. The flavors started to brew and blend, and they kept adding more herbs and culantro to the soup to make it well balanced, herbaceous and healthy. I loved seeing the entire cooking process. Along with the kakโ€™ik, they also made some of the best tamales Iโ€™ve ever had - they were so juicy and moist with the right amount of meat filling and olives on the inside. We also tried some sour dried fruit juice called chicha and a dish that included a variety of tripe stewed down until ultra tender. But the ancient Mayan recipe for turkey soup kakโ€™ik was the highlight, a truly well rounded blend of seasoning with nothing overpowering the flavor of the turkey. It was delicious!

I don't know why i'm always doing this to myself. Watching this at night with no food while watching Mark enjoy himself is a vibe everyone is feeling right now.

I have been watching Mark for years. We would watch the videos with my grandparents. They were always amazed at the quantity of food and the amount of spicyness. They passed a few years ago so now I think of their reaction seeing Mark in our home country.

Awesome brother. I went to Guatemala last year and one of the first things I thought when I tried the food was, "Mark needs to come to Guatemala!"

The woman is wrong, the Spanish didn't bring domestic turkeys to Guatemala. Turkeys are native to Mesoamerica and the Mayans had access to domestic turkey long before the Spanish through trade routes from Mexico where they were first domesticated over a thousand years ago.

They were laughing when Mark added more hot chilli powder, but he is on a different level. Beautiful food, people, and country. Thank you for sharing, and thanks, Rebecca, for being a lovely host
