Zacatecan cuisine is the product of multiple inventions, influences and exchanges, inheritance and remembrance of the indigenous and Spanish presence in the territory of the state.<\/p>

Mezcal – Zacatecas<\/figcaption><\/figure>

In pre-Hispanic times, the Chichimeca tribes took advantage of what the semi-desert soil offered for their food: nopales, tunas, magueys, biznagas, dates, roots; wild animals such as hares, rabbits, squirrels, wild boars, snakes, deer, and insects. Some of these supplies were prepared in order to be conserved for a long time, anticipating periods of famine.<\/p>

With the Hispanic presence in Zacatecas, the establishment of trade routes and the development of mining, new products were introduced and added to existing ones, giving rise to baroque dishes, such as the exceptional wedding barbecue, made from chili peppers from different varieties gilt in butter, spices and pork, which has been present at banquets and celebrations for several centuries.<\/p>

In the region, it is also customary to consume beef in broths, such as menudo and pozole and birria de borrego. They are worth mentioning the gorditas of corn stuffed with stews, the enchiladas miners or zacatecanas, the artisan wheat bread, the old cheese and other derivatives of milk as typical sweets.<\/p>

The traditional drinks are aguamiel (mead), colonche de tuna, tejuino, agua cuaresmal (Lenten water), quince liqueur and mezcal.<\/p>

Currently, corn, beans and mirasol chili (considered the best not only in Mexico, but in the world), constitute the basis of food and represent the largest agricultural production in the state.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
