There. Must be 30 different ingredients. In this molar recipe. Muy. Bueno I can tell you certainly there's. Nothing, like, this in. The world. Good. Morning I hope you're having an amazing day it's mark Wiens I'm in Oaxaca, Mexico okay, hold on we've got to back up I need to tell you the full story so, at this point in the morning when I started this video I desperately, wanted, to eat some homemade, Oaxacan, molé an egg roll the, only problem, was I had, no clue yet how, it was going to happen our, full plan for the day was to number one hire, a van and driver for the day which we had already arranged. The night before so we can cross that one off the list number, two drive, to a local, Oaxacan, village number, three go, directly, to the fresh market and number, four walk, around and find a grandmother, or Aunty to cook us some Molay. From. Scratch. Yes. We were going to wing it and I knew very well the risk of failing the Oaxacan, molé a Negro mission was very likely but, sometimes, when you travel without a plan you end up having the most memorable. Experiences. Of your life. We're. Now in the van and we are on our way to a place called do deal and Olivier and that's, when things took a turn for the best. We're. Quickly stopping to get some gas but I just gotta fill you in what's happening when we started off today we had nut we didn't really have a plan of what we were gonna do we just wanted to go to TL Caitlyn then via and we wanted to find especially Molly because, they're known for molly around that region of oaxaca but. We were talking to the driver our van driver who's a awesome, guy and he. Mentioned, that he's actually from, a village which is very close to definitely, atitlan. Del Valle and he, called his mom he, asked if she could make Molly, for us and she, agreed, so. We're on our way we're all there stopping for gas right now but we're on our way to go pick up his mom then. We're gonna go to the market we're gonna buy all the ingredients for Molly and she's gonna home cook us mullet, this is gonna turn into a Oaxacan, food male adventure. Yes. This. Could not be a more perfect location. The house is beautiful the countryside, here is gorgeous the family, is so generous, and so inviting we're. On our way to the market now. The. Actual, town that we're in is called plac Oh Lula de matamoros and, this, is a Zapotec, a town so that's the that's, the culture that Missa tee okay, and we have just arrived to the market now. And we're stopping first to buy the chili small man so many different types of chilies that's a big bag of chilies right there. Were. Two they noise. Vegetable. Section now we're buying some some, Tomatoes some onions some. Peppers. Green. Tomatoes. And. They even put bread inside, Oaxacan, molé a. Yes. A. Bomb. Or a. Possible. Suspect. We're. Getting a full chicken to go with that more, less sauce. Her. Recipe uh. While. We're at the chicken stall we met the grandmother. Who is recipe. We'll be making its her mullet recipe, and she. She definitely, knows what she's doing when it comes to more that things just even got better. Yeah. My, scene since in a second a. Second pervert, gracias. Muchas. Gracias, cuando cuando customs, Cinco. Face fighting mice. This. Is called cafe, and it's a traditional, drink she uses there's corn in here and there is chocolate, I'm not sure what all else but as we were entering the market she was making it and she was whipping it up with our hands it was like a thick paste but, now she added more water so it's turned into a liquid. Beverage, but there's still some like chunkiness. On top, this is very interesting I got wait to try it. Hmm oh and. I asked her first with no sugar she said you could have sugar or no sugar however much sugar you want it's really good with no sugar it's you can taste the corn in there you can taste the chocolate, it's, a little bit starchy. It tastes like kind of a cross. Between a beverage, and a porridge. Which. Is. -. Yes. Okay. We made it back to the house it's, time to start cooking I. Wanted. To just explain that this entire area and this city is known for its. Zapotec, population. Which is the indigenous, people.

Of This region of Oaxaca, commonness, Oaxaca knows. She's. Getting started making the molle by just first starting off with the chiles those are pretty large chili-cheese emptying, out the seeds scraping out the seeds and in. The meantime. We. Have gotten lucky and she she, made without knowing, she made some some tamales and Lokoja Kineo, tamales, steamed. In corn husk let me empty this out, let. Me just break up this tamale, family date tamale the king, the. Chapel Oh Jeff. It is David. I'm. Not totally sure what that is you. Know. There's. A tub of salsa, that our driver by the way his name is Javier he said this is his favorite salsa that his mom makes and. He said it's big and it's spicy. I'm. Gonna add on some of this salsa he said it's spicy. Okay. Looks. Amazing. Oh. That's. Amazing it's it's corn but it's not it's, not like finely ground it's kind of course you can taste that unique vegetable in there it's, more like a herb I think you're, like a wild herb. It's. Delicious with that salsa oh it's, incredible it's. Also has a little bit spicy but just perfect with that time. Eyelashes. Yay. The rokkes, phonetic. The morning. That. First step of chilli is already we're moving into the kitchen now they're gonna light the fire, and we're, gonna get started cooking, this moly and they're making it purely, from scratch all, the raw ingredients are. The dried chilies the dry ingredients but. Everything is from scratch this. Is the, this. Is it's such a privilege to have this opportunity. So. She's roasting, the chilies now are just heating them over that coma which is the clay. Pan. Over, fire and they're, they're not spicy, topic. To me they almost have like a sweet, almost tomatoey, aroma, to them. If. The. So. She's roasting the chilies until for a few minutes until they shrivel up then they look like a kind of like a sure old piece of leather but. The aroma, coming out they're slightly charred, I'm already starting to sense that complexity. Of aromas, and flavors. That will be part of this male. What. Commissariat. Know. They can make. You. Kilo, de ciências bastante como, tres kilos, cuatro. Kilos Nascimento. Network. Honesty, McCamey, money. This. Is patent or do see a plaque. Are no macho macho. A dual. Thing it's. A plantain, banana she's a little bit sweet. I'm. Still. Unsure how all of this is gonna fit together, Chava can. I'm. In I'm, in drag. Okay. So for the almonds she, put in some oil into the clay pot and then she's just frying, the. Almonds. It's. Amazing. She. Just pulled the almonds out of the oil and now she dropped in the walnuts. I. Never. Would have guessed, the next ingredient in, this molar recipe, they're like kind of like cookie biscuits, and again she's just tossing them into the oil deep frying them just for about 10. Seconds or so that's an ingredient, I wasn't expecting. There's also bread, in the Millea and it's a special, type of bread there's some chocolate in the bread and. Something. Something. Else oh is, that gonna be fried too oh yes. Yes it is. As. The. Bread and as the ingredients are being fried and prepared, something. To know about Molay is that it's it's, one, it's a very very well known dish it's one of the ultimate dishes. Of Oaxaca as well as in Puebla and. They're. Mixed. Theories. Of how it was invented. Or how it came about, but. One. Thing is for sure is that it is a combination, of, both the local. Indigenous ingredients, and. Cooking, techniques. Combined. With, the, European. Colonial. Influence. To, create this truly unique blend. Of flavors and tastes. And it's. An incredibly. Complex. Dish, using. So many ingredients I mean if you were trying to even come up with a dish like this it would be impossible because there are so many random, ingredients, in it and it's such a complex, dish. Pimienta. This, is some type of pepper that I've never seen before, next. Spice is cloves going in.

This. Is when things are getting more and more complex when they're adding the spices now so now she's frying, some, cinnamon sticks and then, we also counted, out some. Some. Kind of peppercorns and then cloves there's, gonna be some sesame seeds that, go in. Close. And pepper. Pepper go in the oil. Oh. That's. Not a really good being stir-fried, in that oil. As. The ingredients are still being prepared for the molasses, where they're now preparing the chicken so. The chicken has all been cleaned and cut up and, she's, dead I think she's just boiling it straight up in water. Si, mucho, trabajo. Mola, is such a complex, dish and there's so many ingredients involved, and each each, ingredient you have to prepare separately, i and. It's very time intensive and. It's such a it, takes a lot of work to prepare and so it's such a it's. It's so cool to be able to watch the whole process and, just anticipate. The Moller that we're gonna be able to eat very soon. Plums. I, think. Sent up a plum dried plum and then deep-fried, also. Yes. They yell victory or loss. It's. Oregano, and some kind of other herb so basically, the. Chiles get, blackened. Or roasted, but everything, else is fried, in oil chicken is coming along nicely nice, and slow. Except. Should just tossed in some onions and garlic right, into the fire to. Roast. Its. White sesame seeds that also goes into the oil to fry, man. She has fried like. At, least like 15 ingredients so far. Separately. In the chicken pot after. Just boiling the chicken in water then she added in some onions and some garlic and. Also a type, of leaf called ojas antha and that's gonna create a chicken broth that they're also gonna use for, the male these are all of the ingredients, so far look at it's an entire bucket, of ingredients. The. Onions and garlic finished, roasting in the fire and then they're just peeling out that outer blackened. Glare and revealing. Just that juicy, flesh underneath and then for the tomatoes, there's. Two kinds of Tomatoes the green tomatoes and the red tomatoes and she's. Again just frying, it in the clay, pot for a little while. Nikrif. I pick up my hey that. Took about two hours to prepare everything, it's now time to start grinding everything. Together to make the sauce I. Love. The sound of that rock, on rock but. Then with the like squishing. Sound of those chilies in between the rocks and she's, such an expert and you can even smell you can really vibrantly, smell the aroma off those chilies in there to. The. Stone grinder like this is called I met that that it's very very, time-intensive, it. Would take hours and hours to grind up this, entire, bucket. Full. Of ingredients for the moley they're gonna take it to the market where they have a bigger grinder. Called a Molina. And. They're gonna grind everything, on that so it'll be a lot faster. So. It doesn't it would, probably take until tomorrow if they tried to grind all of that by hand and we don't have that much time so. They're gonna do that but, in the meantime we're gonna go to a waterfall. Which, is near to this area because then after that the paste it has to, cook. For a while and, then. We're gonna come back to eat this just sensational, moly. The. Drive to get here was gorgeous, we came, really, high into the mountains it's, the views the. Rugged, landscape is incredible. And we've, arrived here the place it's called here Vidal alwah it's, beautiful, here yo. It. Feels like you're on the edge of the earth here and this is where the water is bubbling but. The water is not hot it's just kind of like fizzing. It's just room temperature water. Do. We now hiked over to the main swimming, pools it's. Quite a unique landscape, it's almost like a moonscape. Those, are some pretty interesting, and very unique moonscapes, but. I am very, very hungry now my. Excitement. For eating mola is at an all-time high. Over. Here this is the paste and so, that was all wow you can smell, it so you can see the shimmering, oil on it. I'm. Just gonna taste the paste. For, walk, that's. Like unexplainable, it's almost like foamy, in texture. You. Can taste the spices the of the hint of clove the pepper in there. So. They already added the chocolate in there so we didn't see them add that but they added chocolate in there it's almost time.

See. It. Took, like, five hours to, make this male they made everything, from scratch starting with the Chili's there, must be 30 different ingredients. In this mother recipe, and what, I love is that the family they just kindly. Invited us into their house and into their compound, into their home like we are family here so what's interesting about mole is that they don't cook the chicken with in the sauce, but, rather the chicken is cooked separately and then the sauce is prepared, separately and then they combine the two for. The final process right before you eat it. Wow. Oh, well. I can. Tell you certainly, there's. Nothing, like, this in the, world it, is, it's. So unique it's. So. It's. Such like an impossible, mixture. Of ingredients you don't even know actually, and, it's true that they don't know exactly how more they was invented, it's like uh it's. A very mysterious. Amazing. Flavor you can taste the chocolate you can taste the chilies you can taste the nuts in there it has a nutty taste it's, it's, really rich, well. It's it's it's it's phenomenal, oh. This. Ah it's really all about the sauce but chicken is just like a is. Just the the. The second ingredient in this dish I have to taste the bite of chicken before I even move on to any any, carb form. Stunning. And. Again the sauce I mean, the, sauce is so incredibly flavorful that all it needs to do is coat the chicken it doesn't need to like permeate, into the center of the chicken I. Got. To get a bit more sauce though on there. That's, remarkable. You wanna be on Carlos, Internet has the male. On. It. Delicious. Unique. Special. Very. Different than, any more than I've tried before very, good. By. Oh a she she, refilled. My sauce. Mother. Sauce is just blowing my mind right now they've also made us a plate of chopped wiliness which are grasshoppers, and grasshoppers are, very very common in Oaxaca you'll.

Find Them at the market they. Said they get they harvest, these grasshoppers sometime, in November October, or November when, that's, grasshopper, season but then they save them all, so. They have a continual. Supply of, grasshoppers, throughout the year. Although, they're just and. Have to all. Have to an entire mouth full of grasshoppers, they're, kind of crunchy, they. Have I think. They're cooked with some salt and lime because the, flavor is amazing all, those are beautiful, I love, it Oh with, that sauce, moly. Couple. Venus oh yeah. Look at that. I'm. Gonna add on a little more, more. Than sauce onto this grasshopper. That's. An outstanding combination do I like it with the grasshoppers that gives it a crunch that, chicken just falls off the bone oh look, at that I'm, gonna add this to my rice and I've got one combination that I need to try I mean, I love it with the tortillas but with rice I mean. I am I am Asia and I love rice it's so good with rice. This. Sauce is just insane. Okay they. Also have, one, of mom's homemade, salsa cereal and I've seen Javier he, is adding some of the salsa to his mother so I'm gonna I'm gonna follow. Wow. There's. Nothing better than adding sauce to sauce okay. And then finally I got, to go in for some of those chopped woodiness, sprinkle. Those on top. Well. Let. Me add one more grasshopper. For, the final topping and there. It is that is possibly, the greatest, single, bite of male in the. Entire world. And that, completes, the Moller. That. Was an absolutely, stunning, meal, I'll. Have any grasshoppers, stuck in my teeth I don't. Think so I just have a chocolate mustache a molar, mustache, oh man. That was so. Incredibly. Good. I love. The moly I love. This entire experience. And when we set off this morning we had no idea what we were gonna do actually we had we didn't have plans all we wanted to do was eat but, wanted to find and search out some of the best mullet and it, was an incredible, success, but. Thanks to the family here I want to say a huge thank you to Xavier who is our driver because. He graciously. Thought. Of this idea and then he called his mom his mom agreed, and they, graciously invited, us into their home which is it's. Incredible, I've said it many times before but this is another, one, of those experiences, that is worth traveling, across the world there's, nothing, like an experience, like this when.

It Comes to food and travel and I'm, extremely grateful to have this opportunity so, again huge thank you to the family we're, all very happy and full of more than now and we're they're gonna give us some of that mall that pays to bring home with us ok I'm, gonna before, I, am. A little bit under the influence of mullet right now so I'm gonna quit talking and I, want to say a huge thank you for watching this video please remember to give it a thumbs up if you enjoyed it I'd love to hear from you in the comment section below if you're not already subscribed click.

Whoa... just watching and listening makes my mouth water... And then the imagination kicks in and you just want to be there and have thes same expirienxe :D Now i do not want to cook anything... now i want a plane ticket there :D

So.. Its basically chocolate sauce with chicken on the side ? Hmm Interesting.....not what i was expecting.

I was born in Oaxaca in 1981 and the food was just as amazing as the people there. They take care of their relatives, especially the elder, like no other culture. In fact, I never saw a homeless person growing up there.

Go To romania and explor there very Lovly country

Pls visit spain

great video mark. im your biggest fan, i look forward to seeing what other future videos u have in store for us!

Hello im probably your newest sub or one of them.After seeing (and btw TY for coming to greece) your greece videos,i had one sad think to say.None gave u to try Gyro Pita.Gyro Pita is the traditional "best" food not suvlaki pitai kebap pita or whatever.U did not try the best thing.Next time you come to greece im buying u a full day on THE BEST FOODS IN GREECE and not in some random shops even i admit i knew the place u eat that suvlaki.Love your videos trying to see all this amazing food keep it up.Kisses to the prety baby and hello to the lovely and patient wife of urs.A new Greek Fan

I love you and your expressions

Sucks you didn't stay in Teotitlán del Valle, though the experience you had was amazing as well! I did a homestay there a while back and learned their ways and language (Zapotec, which they call "Dizha'sá" /di¹.ʒa³¹ saː³¹/), I would have died to see a video in which you had visited there and maybe met some of the amazing people I met there as well. I give a huge "Shtyu-zu'u" /ʃtiu⁵³.zuˀu̥¹/ (thank you) for this video and hope you visit the northern states of Mexico (especially Sinaloa).

It is amazing to me how similar in so many ways small town/village life in Mexico is to India's small town/village life. Cooking over a wood fire in an outdoor kitchen, the flat stone mortar and pestle, the clay cooking utensil, the love, cooking from scratch...

I'm hungry right now

Hi guys please buy this https://jvz3.com/c/984257/290832

Mole!!! One of my favorite Mexican dishes

nothing like this kind of food it look so good and awesomeeee

its so good

i liked this video so much that i have send this video to my all friends

Its similar like indian nonveg curry mostly made in maharashtra mumbau by grandma only we dont add banana cookie bread and our spices are bit diifrent but texture remain same.

@21:08 _"It feels like you're on the edge of the Earth here"_ - Mark YESSS!!!! Mark is a FLAT-EARTHER!!!! :)))

Omg her scolding her son for not telling her yesterday! Haha that's so my mom & grandmas. My heart when I saw the pots & that big blue spoon all I can think of is cooking with my grandma. Awesome video Mark!

the only bad thing about this video is that it has an ending

wow

Mark your awesome thank you for stopping by our beautiful mexico

Omg I should never watch you with empty stomach it not good for me. But no joke your video are really lit. Keep it up!

So interesting! Ive never heard or eaten mole before. Im trying to imagine the flavour after seeing the abundance of ingredients. But its something i need to try to know because that was very different mixture of flavours. I love your videos! So inspiring

Love your videos

Tejate, tamales de chepil y mole negro

I'm *so* envious! What a great video!

That looks sooooooo goooooodd!!!!

Mmmmm diarrhea...

Great video if you want to lose your appetite!

He smiles way to much

t/u and WTFfffff

Over exaggerated facial expressions, reminds me of a clown Thai soap opera.

Please start rating the food you eat

namaste Mark Ying and Babe Micle

omfg

Incredible

The only bad thing with chapulines is when a little leg gets stuck on your throat! Try crunched salted chapulines over white rice. Hummmm!

I Love Mole!!! It's so delicious. I am so happy you decided to have this dish. One of my favorites tho is the Mole Verde. It's made from pumpkin seeds.

Again, Mark. It will give you a 10 for the local music track. Mole is one of the most complex sauces that I ever tried. When the Europeans were eating sloppy gruel, these indigenous people were preparing and eating these food on a daily basis before Colon ever set foot in America. Now, who is the sophisticated culture?

That woman is soooo precious!!!!!

Great editing and content in this video! I never tasted mole, but the look of it, it must be so damn delicious...

One of my favorite video you made. Really beautiful and intimate.

digging this style of editing mark!!

Mark, this is my first time EVER commenting on YouTube. I would like to thank you for capturing our traditions. Tlacolula is my father's hometown. This video shows true authentic Oaxacan cuisine. From the Texate, to the Chepiles, Chapulines and last but not least, Mole Negro Next,you such visit the other side of my roots, Puebla and try that Mole Poblano, Camotes and Pan de Fiesta. Awesome video!

@13:20 the bread contains chocolate and raisins

Hoja Santa = Root Beer plant

Mark- I love watching your videos and wondered what you use for your video editing?

The foodie content is always amazing in your videos Mark but lately I am taken with how professional the filming and editing have become. You produce higher quality content than most TV networks at this point. I like the addition of the drone footage, is that your own? Gives a nice perspective.

mmmmm mole is good

Hands down to this family preparing everything for everyone.. wow such a wonderful family.. love this video mark.. send my regards to yeng and mikah..

Hi Mark did you even pay for all the ingredients for d mole? Or perhaps add on to the charge in the driving package...

Thank you for taking the time to Explore México and appreciate the food past from generations, made me teared up because not many people take the time to explore Mexico's amazing food made by people who enjoy making it and made with love. Such a unique dish Mole I hope you loved it

All I have to say is thank you. All the love that was shown when making the mole was beautiful. I really enjoyed how peaceful everything and everyone was.

Loving your videos Mark, but those "walnuts" were actually pecan :P

Mole mysterious dish, I want to try it someday. Mexico is a country rich in culture, foods and certainly humble peoples.

I love that the young girl got the chicken foot.

Respeto to that lady who made the molé

Hey Mark, Great video. When are you going back to Myanmar? Please go back there. The country has changed a lot and the foods got better!!

My mom knows how to make mole! For me is the best mole in the world! :)

Much respect of the humanity in your spirit!  I'm not a fan of mole, but I'll certainly try it again and perhaps I'll like it next time.

I'm curious about to try.. you literally wiped off the plate with rice and tortilla!! I was overwhelmed with the ingredients she used, so many!! But wowww curiosity for sure!

This is melting my little mexican heart ❤ thank you so much for showing this to the world Mark.

Yummy awesome adventure

Love it... I remember watching this channel when it was below 200k subscribers.  1.6M subs now and still growing!   Good job!  Mark Wiens got true passion for food.

go to Poland

Hey Mark, the large peppercorns were pimento peppercorns, usually called cloves pepper or pimento. :) Take care, I love your Videos!! Please show a bit more of Micah, she is soooo adorable! My son turned 2 last month

Wow what an experience Mark that was awesome thanks for sharing

Mothers are God sent. the love that went into this is so tangible it has me crying because I miss my mum. And the kindness! OMG the kindness this family has will see them blessed forever. loved this episode to bits.

Have'nt even finished the video yet and i'm loving it alot. Thanks!!

Deve ser uma delícia

Cooked with love, second to none

thks to go the ingenous Mexican food to world cooking with beautiful people from Oaxaca Mexique

Hye Mark.where is your origin actually?

I love mole, my family prepares differently because I’m from Chihuahua, so proud to see my country being so welcoming & nice.

this time the story format is very different from any other previous works, i like this more as there is excitement building up to it instead of the regular predictable patterns. the word 'serendipity' comes to my mind watching this story. two big thumps up. I wish u did drone footage at the fall, no worries

"That's Re-MARK-able"

Mark’s videos make you forget that there’s any bad in the world. You can watch them and get lost in the pure joy that is love for people, culture and food.

Plllzzz we really want that u come to Pakistan.... I hope u will consider our request...

Mark plzzz plzzz come into Pakistan..... U will really enjoy food here.... Pakistan have some amazing and traditional food stuff.... And u'll really like it..... Plzz plzz, try to come Pakistan...

Great video as always Mark. Thanks so much for sharing your awesome personality as well.

mole mania

Am asian rice is everything hehehe

You complain too much

mole + rice + salsa + grasshoppers = wowww Mexico is such a great place to visit

Favorite episode....by far.

always good to have a "Mother" besides you, she can handle everything.

Wooo indigenous peoples

Good to see tradition carrying on ❤️❤️

My Mexican coworkers laughed at me when I said I wanted some grasshoppers tacos, I guess they don't know what they 're missing out. Good Lord, that mole is insanely like a work of art .. Viva Mecico

Mark Wiens hey bro you should definitely travel and do a video of my hometown Acapulco Guerrero Mexico, they have delicious cuisine and the seafood is the best of the whole of Mexico, plus you will next to the beautiful beach while eating the best sea food in Mexico, the people are amazingly nice and caring as well, maybe you won't reply to my comment but I know you get the notification and at least take my advice in consideration and while you're in Mexico give it a try before you leave, you will have the best time of your life bro do it for us that live in the U.S. and can't go to Mexico, my mother watches your videos with me and whay better present for her would be if you do a video of her hometown, you should do visit Acapulco ad your last video before you leave Mexico to put the cherry on the top of the cake.

Loved loved loved this!!! I'm so happy you got to try out Mole Negro Oaxaqueño

Lovely Mexican family! ;)

Que rrrrrrriiiicoooo I want mole too What a great family they made the mole just like my gramma and mom used to make it we would go to MX every summer Mole is Bomb Thanks for sharing just suscribed to ur channel I love your happy and positive attitude Vivaaa Mexiicoo Cabronesss♥️

Congrats on another fantastic video Mark! Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing. Cheers

This lady was awesome. Gracias señora Augelia (?) por su hospitalidad.

One of the best videos of your entire channel! Just wow!

btw I hope the lady and her husband got to eat plenty of that mole too!

Well, you had me until you started eating those bugs ! Ewwwww! Yucky !

This is the most complex food preparation I have ever seen.

I'm so made I'm fasting otherwise I'd make homemade mole, that grinding process is very labor intensive. I remember doing that as a child in my family's restaurant, I miss home cooked meals like thatm.

Amazing love home cooked meals the best.....

Glad to see u had the opportunity to get such a traditional experience of mole, u also have to taste mole verde, it's not sweet at all it's actually pretty spicy and also has many ingredients. Also try to find salsa de chapulines (grasshopper sauce) delicious with a simple tortilla o and d'Or desert u HAVE TO TRY chongos zamoranos it's best in ice cream, I love it but I don't really know what it is, it's something made out of milk like a cheese but a dessert! Hope u love all of our food

Hello good video just a little correction they where pecans not walnuts the lady threw in the oil.

Hey Mark! Are you coming to Mexico City__

cmonBruh chu say?

I will have to find place and eat some mole asap .

That is our people and our country. Thank you, Mark

wow... what a great experience you got there mark wiens! not only the food, places but the people... it's a very worth it trip to get to socialize with local people. The family is very hospitable that's great aaaw :)

Love this!!! There’s always kind people everywhere! ❤️

This way of presenting is amazing. Loved the episode..

Now i want some mole

Looks like poop...

Looks so Delicious!!! Lucky you!

That looked so delicious, I’ve never been more jealous of any food travel YouTubed than I am now

I love those old fire ways of cooking.

You are living my dream. I love watching you, the food ranger, and strictly dumplings. It has always been my dream to travel and immerse myself in other cultures and eat the food unfortunately it costs money but threw you guys I get glimpses into that life. I also love how into the foods you are I share your passion for good food and it's wonderful seeing people with the same passion. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences.

Should be spelt more like Cafe', Mole'? maybe?

You LUCKY SOB'S JK OMG NO NO NO JK! YOU LUCKY IM FROM STATE OF ZACATECAS BUT THANG!

the only thing is not traditional is the cookies, they are an ad on by her own, but im sure it was just as good.

ln the mole preparation.

Nothing beats mom's cooking! That mole looks so good, I would've paid a hefty price just to taste a home cooked meal.

Simply beautiful!!

Brother, I am green! I've only had mole' twice in my life! And my daughter went to culinary school in Pasadena, who came home to Ohio and made it for us once. The other time, I think? was a Mexican restaurant??? Been far too long! I need another mole' fix!!!

Holy Moli

Amazing

Looks like rendang

I love mole... you guys are so lucky to have that deliciousness of homemade mole! Ole!!!

Oh Mark, I love your vids and the mole was mouth watering until you ate the grasshoppers...

Omg so exciting, I love these food adventures so so so much

Absolutely great! Have you asked for the Recipe of the home made salsa?

Wait until you go to Mexico City!!! The food is outstanding!!!!!

Ur just unbelievable how can u learn languages quickly

I earlier was in an assumption that only Asian recipes have full spices & different ingredients. This Mole negro convinced me that Mexican recipes too have ample of spices & ingredients. Hats off ; Mark ! For sharing such a recipe :)

I am so ridiculously envious of you. That looks to me to be the best thing you’ve eaten, hands down. It’s also the first time I’ve ever actually desired to eat an insect. Amazing Mark and thank you Mama. If she could bottle that she’d be a rich woman.

Been watching Mark for a few years now and you can tell when he doesn't like something but says it's nice to be respectful. He does this fake "mmmmmm" and has his eyes wide open then goes straight to the point on how it tastes 6:50. Hilarious! Keep up the good work!

Wow..

Wow!!!!Now I wanna go to Mexico

Wow ..mole...look really good .great job mark

Mark thank you for all that you do!!!  Really man you are an inspiration!  You even sound a bit under the weather but still push on with an amazing amount of hustle bro!  I can only hope to be as spiritually successful as you are.  You work from the heart and that is the most inspirational thing that you have given me.  ~Much love to you, Mika and Ying.❤️❤️❤️

Gross

I was going to ask where the chocolate was.

That looks so good! I love mole.

Now I'm craving mole and those grasshoppers look delicious!!

That looks so delicious.

Beautiful people Indeed and that mole is something so special to watch

Nothing better than adding sauce to sauce. - sure right mark sure right bout that.

I love this.

28:59... there is your real thumbnail

More quality than food ranger ahahaha

14:30 Pretty sure that is allspice

JAJAJ tipica mama mexicana, ''me hubieras dicho con tiempo eh ir a comprar los ingredientes....pero como no me dijiste'' jajaj

Te acabas de ganar el cielo Mark. Saludos desde Monterrey, Nuevo León, México.

Mark your just amazing. I live to watch your videos. Every time i watch your new videos i am more excited for the next one.

Do you know Spanish?

That's waaay too much work...

It is but typically you should end up with lots of paste that you can keep using for a long time you see all that paste left? no doubt this lady will be eating mole for a while!

Looks extremely delicious

Mark weins can eat anything without saying "NO" even with his heart ♥ Love his dedication!!

This guy right here is the most likable guy in the World, who would dislike his videos ?

I wanna go in that pool so bad

Okay you lost me with the grasshoppers

is this a casey neistat homage? anyway amazing video good job!

after watching all the Mexican travel adventure videos, its actually a nice place to visit..mic work Mark.

Mark you and your family are so amazing! I love the way your editing and putting together, you should have your own show on TV ! Honestly so entertaining and educational and real! Sending you love from BOSTON!

That chupaline is the cherry on top

He is totally me. Like combining all of the food together

Wow! Such kind people! Amazing experience!

GGX GANG GANG TriHard 7 The name of the plate Is Mole Negro... Negro is the color black hence the Chiles used in the recipe nothing to do with the African Americans, Moreno is the word used for a darker skin color. Not offensive. Plus the pronunciation is different.

And not only that but every FAMILY has their own way of making it

Volkan Kizilkaya Every region has their own way of making it.

ì hate you Mark......but i love you.... the mole is stuck in my head!!!!

Would have loved to see the molina process

You make me want to try grasshoppers

Awesome video yet again Mark! There can’t be anything better than experiencing this kind of food from its origin! It’s been many years since I last visited Mexico City.. the people there are truly warm and friendly! Please don’t miss the opportunity to try some of the best tacos in Old Town section of Mexico City.. Did you feel safe driving around town though?

Omg takes me back I actually tasted what you are eating I'm from tlacolula Like this episode

How does this guy's face not cramp up from smiling 24/7?

I am Iraqi and I love rice too :)

2:55........is a good thing "Los Zetas" are interested in the village!!!, or you would be up the $hit creek without a paddle!!

I would love to have a mole experience like that!!!!! Your face is so expressive also! So cool.

Mark. Mark, Mark......please do not mess up the mole. The mole looks awesome by itself doesn't need grasshopper in it. I am Asian and grasshopper looks disgusting, but I also know it is a part of other country's delicacy. But don't mess up the mole please.......

How many language do you know? Its amazingv

muchas gracias Mark por haber venido a nuesto pais es un honor haberte visto en nuestro pais por este medio gracias me gustan un chingo tus videos y me abren el apetito jajajaj hahahaha gracias amigooooo

Mark, Amazing video!!! Made feel just like home. Making miss my Mexico Lindo

I love the moleeee lol

Hi I like your video go try pulque at las palmas

.. the traditional Mexican dish for mole has always been the Poblano one, with turkey.. my favorite. Mole is a delicious dish. Lots of ingredients and hard work. You're lucky to have good friends willing to prepare it for you.

Haahahahahahahahahajajajaauauauauaua pa que vea lo que es Weno!!

6:53 (Oh God the sh** I eat for my channel...) "Mmmmm"

Fantastic video yet again Mark! I have to say, it's a pretty interesting experience watching a recipe being made that looks amazing and yet having no idea whatsoever what it tastes like. I've never been to Mexico, and Mexican food is not really available where I live so I can't even begin to imagine what the flavours combined in that sauce would be like. I guess that's one more country on the list to visit..

So lucky!

Mark: that 'pepper' is a pimento(n)/pimenta(grande) or Allspice. It resembles a large pepeppercorn but tastes of a mixture of nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon.

I jal trpaš oće ti oči ispast

Bro you make me want to go travel with you

Wonderful video Mark. Not only do I get to view a favorite dish of mine but rarely get to experience as I live in Cincinnati but just to see the local culture was amazing. Thanks - great work here.

Except the grasshopper part, everthing looks awesome

Mexicans are spoilt for choice in ingredients I wish I could have a sack of each

There are hundreds of mole recipes (sweet, salty, spicy, all colors and no, they don't all have chocolate) depending on location and available ingredients, there are also many recipes online on how to make. Mole means a sauce made from a combinations of chiles and spices and then thickened, sometimes using tortillas or masa but you can also use other things like peanut butter, bananas, etc. as natural thickeners if you want another flavor. It's not hard to make just takes many ingredients processing them as you go. Try it, you'll love it.

Also, for anyone unfamiliar with mole DON’T wear white because that stain will never come out.

Me encanta mamasita mexicana

That is so much work, I got tired just watching them cook...whew

What an adventure. Travel done right.

Allspice. That was allspice.

I can't believe some people want to build walls to keep these people out. I'd love to taste that molé.

pasas...raisins...the other ingredient in the bread...so it was a chocolate-raisin bread

What truly beautiful people to do that for you guys! Lovely mother indeed. I must try traditional molé one day.

really great production value in this one

omggggg I want mole now .... I looooved this video

That sauce together with the rice looked incredible. Real comfort food. Thanks for sharing.

Man, you are making me hungry.......but nowhere to find Mole:-(

Wow! Thanks for that! When life gets me down and I'm mad at the world. I have found some refuge and relief in your kindness and overall positive personality. The fact that your truly as happy and excited as you are just spreads to everyone around you Mark. I've only discovered you in the last few months and I look forward to every moment that you share with us. Bless your heart buddy. Your one of a kind.

What a nice and generous family. I now need to try some mole sauce for myself something I've never had.

The green tomatoes are actually tomatillos a relative of the gooseberry

One of you best Mark. The quality of your videos just keeps getting better and better!

Hi mark I'm one of your first 35k subscribers and I think I have already watched 96% of your videos ?and until now i dont see any reason to stop on watching.Food, travel, and culture these are the things that completely satisfies me a lot when I'm watching your videos. Great Job! How much for the cap? I always wish I could have one.

My favorite episode :-)

I love the new video style!

Wish our wet market here in the Philippinee is similar to Mexico, looks very neat and clean and the food is assuring that it does not sell fake or double dead food

Love mole thanks for the video mark

I'd really appreciate it if someone could provide the translations for the Spanish (at markets & with the family), as Mark doesn't directly translate a lot of what is said, and here in Australia we don't learn Spanish as a second language ☹❤

Hi Mark! Trevor James was there too. Have you not bumped each other? You almost ate the same thing. I miss your colab Vlog

But Trevor ate Mole from the market.

Mark, I love your show but when you went to the drivers house so they can make you mole and then you panned to the emaciated dog I couldn't watch anymore... not sure if I can watch your show again... I am an animal lover and to walk away from a dog with those ribs showing is a shame.

AMAZING!!!!!

Have your mole with a tortilla, mix in some aroz and an ice cold bottle coke. Welcome to Mexico!

Mole has no Spanish colonial influences at all, it's a prehispanic dish. Each state or area of Mexico has their own version, color and favored tastes, protein, etc. There are hundreds of different moles to be discovered.

Love the preparation vidoe. Best video!

Mark, this is really an awesome experience...

That peppercorn thing around 15:00 minutes may be allspice!

What a beautiful experience :)

I love the mum and dad's kitchen harmony. That mole looked amazing!!!!

Mark Wiens when u said you were going to Teotitlan del valle I was so damn exited that's my home town I haven't been there in like 26 years but then you changed it up on me Anyways great video keep them coming

Considering that Xavier told his mom on a really short notice (lmao), it's really heartwarming to see how everyone work together to prepare a tedious meal with such sincerity and love. Immense respect for the Mexican people. (:

And Mole will be in my list of Things to Try Before I Die

Mark, thank you so much for recording the process of making Mole! My mother and grandmother make it a little bit different but both do definitely have their complexity when it comes to its flavor. Love your video! Keep it up. #Subscribed

laughing in foreign language I'm dead HAHA!!!

Tbh, it looked like he didn't really like it.

MOLE,MOLE,MOLE!!!!!!

Wow that was eye most amazing looking food ever. Wish I was ther to try it.

These videos make me so emotional!

I want you in Brazil Mark Please go to Brazil

I had to comment again, because the way you are so respectful and embrace Mexican culture without hesitation, makes me so happy. Thank you again for the great video.

Another great video. Thank you for embracing my Mexican culture. It makes me feel so good seeing others enjoy everything Mexico has to offer.

This is the best satisfying vedio i have ever seen in my entire life

What can I Mark accept awesome my man keep up the good work

An amazing video! What a great family!

Food Ranger is also in Oaxaca, you guys should do a collab!

Interesting the Oaxacan Mole Negro. Great one Mark and Ying.

I love u

Mark, where to even begin. I've watched dozens of your videos, and this is by far my favorite. It's really one of my favorite videos of any type that I've seen for years. I'm a huge fan of mole, and I'm now in a state of jealousy bordering on envy toward your adventure in Oaxaca. I've made several from-scratch batches of mole, and they have turned out wonderfully, but the deep, glossy mole your Oaxacan friends made for you is truly special. I can only imagine the taste. It looks luxurious. One small story, I set out to make my first batch of mole several years ago, and went to a local Mexican grocery here in Athens, GA. I had many of the necessary ingredients in my basket, but a lady (an "auntie" as you say) stopped me in the aisle. She could not speak English well, but with my rudimentary Spanish, I let her know what I was up to. She was very pleased with the ingredients I had chosen, but she went off and came back with a sleeve of the Mexican "shortbread" style cookies that you noted in your video. My moles have changed over the years as I've tried different recipes, but the Mexican cookies have always been my "secret" ingredient. Keep up the good work! Cheers!

Holy Mole! What a great episode :)

Not sure why, I don't like husband & wife Mark travel with! Especially wife when asked how the food, she was so pretentious !!@###@! Maybe "delicious" is the only English word she can say !!!!

The drone and hand held camerawork made this real for me. One of your better productions.

Por favor mark para la gente latina traducelo al español muy buenos videos de la gastronomía mexicana y los estados plis

legendary

MAMA COCO,MOLE NEGRO RECIPE.

7:45 what a rare treat to catch a glimpse of the fabled annual Running of the Goats festival.

great video, one of the best

My mouth is watering so bad ! Thank you mark for letting us follow you through this wonderful adventure! Mexico has such humble people they make you feel at home❤️

my grandma would take two days to make mole this video brings me so many memories thank you

people in the US dont see us like this they think we are all drug dealers etc...

Such a cooool experience! Loved this video!

i've never had mole in my life. GOALS!

Mark, thank you again. Just Amazing!

Mark felt like an Aztec o Zapotec King

This video makes me want to book a fight to Mexico. I really love how authentic and down to earth you are. Sending many blessing to your family Mark!!

Awesome editing!!

Did you come together with The Food Ranger? Cause i know he was/is there now?

Every of Mark's adventure is not just food trip but a cultural link that connect different parts of the world together. No big media name, no big film crew, just a big heart, probably a big stomach, for food and a warm kindness for every body he meets. Thanks Mark !

This guy is blessed :)

Mark you got lucky to have such a great dish prepared for you. Mole is one of the most labor intensive dishes and is so complex. If its made by scratch and depending where you have it, the ingredients can vary. In the end, the taste of mole is just so delicious it leaves you in awe that so many ingredients were used to create such wonderful dish. It is one of my most favorite meals to eat and would like to take the time to learn how to make it myself. Thanks for posting this video. I really enjoyed watching it and your adventure with such a hospitable family and how well they welcomed you into their home. Your friendly kind hearted nature is very wonderful to see and watching you, watching them create this dish for you was nice to see. Thank you and God Bless you on your food travels.

Do you know Spanish? Or learn for this trip??

This is an amazing video Mark. Do you know there are like a twenty kinds of mole? :)

Mole poblano is better...... Just kidding........ This video is Amazing..... Thank you for make this kind of videos Mr. Mark wiens....... You're Always Welcome to Mexico...........!!

even if she gave her son a bit of a hard time (as all mothers do) I'm not surprised at how kind they are, its so nice to see such sweetness from people unlike how others are nowadays. I've tried Mole once and I didn't like it all that much, it was gritty and tasted almost like dirt, I'd love to try it again some day because this looked delicious.

Looks delicious mmmm

I love the respect you show the locals and how open you are to trying new things! I Subscribed!!

Mark you suppose to remove the legs from the chapuling before eating it lol

This is Absolutely Perfect up until those grasshoppers!! NO! Just Chicken and Mole please!!! }; )~

this man is insane

I think that pepper might be allspice.

I wish I could experience this Mole in ATL, GA. with such a large Latino population.

Beautiful video!! Getting better as the years go by. Blessings to your family specially Micah who is growing so fast.

WOW. Now I understand why are Latino families are so so close. It take a family to make a meal. As a senior I remember those days in our family. This bring me to tears. Thanks Mark.

going to cook Mole tomorrow. (I have only 4 chillies Mulatos) So Will have downscale quite a bit.

I love how the entire family pitched in to help! Viva La Oxaca!!!

This video just made me miss my grandma

I'm 50% from Oaxaca and This is the real thing!

'some kind of peppercorn' = allspice.

That small round pepper is a type of spice which you find only in the Caribbean and South America it is called pimento they uses it as a special type of spice especially here in Jamaica

The pure joy in Marks eye as these lovely ladies are preparing the Mole is fantastic.

That was Beautiful!

The chicken with Mole sauce is my all time favorite. I knew the process was detailed and intense, but now after watching this video, I have an even deeper appreciation for it. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Lmao "you should've told me they were coming. I could've bought all the ingredients yesterday"

30:34 Yep , Under the Influnce of Mole !

Anyone one know the song or banda playing when he leaves the moonscapes @ 21:40

Amasing Video !

As a Texan, I have many friends that are both from Mexico, and many who are the descendants of Mexican immigrants. I've never met a kinder, more family-oriented bunch. Mark, this is a stellar video. Thanks for posting it! The food looks amazing, and the people are even more amazing!

Hi I'm a new subscriber, I'm Oaxacan but Iive in the USA , good video by the way!

A dirty Sanchez...

I appreciate you daring heart...

Lucky guy

Oh hi Mark!

Rice mole rice but noo beans

Best video ever

nomames quien fuera tu para comer tan rico

se ve muy rico ese mole

Your videos are so informative and a delight to watch! I've made mole before and it takes some work, but, it is so well worth it, as you know! What a kind and wonderful family!

Orgasm face in mexico

14:34 It is Allspice.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allspice - its a great addition to every spice rack :)

Te Amo México!❤

Here in the US ,people think you need these huge ,elaborate kitchens...this is proof that the magic is in the tradition,not the equipment!

Well done that’s the way todo it. This is the only way to experience the real ethnic food from mother’s heart accompanied by family. That’s what Mexican culture advocates.

One of the best episodes ever!

food ranger is cool but TBH mark gets its so much better....

Mexico could be the next a must travel destination in the very very near future.

I LIKE THIS MUSIC CA YOU GIVE ME THE NOME PLS MARK

I've always wanted to try mole...and this is the mole I really want to try.!!!..Such a humble and beautiful family too... The mother's mole looks out of this world!..it's probably the BEST mole mark would ever have the experience to taste

That was an amazing looking mole Mark - WAUW!! - I would love to taste that someday - very sure one of the things you have to try if you love food :)

I'm from México City and duuude, you're so lucky and privileged to have this done from scratch, most of us just buy the mole paste from the market, mix it with a little bit of chicken stock and you can have good mole... but this, wow. Great video, as always!

Quiero Mole!

Yes you Right .Mark Wiens when you say its wild herbs chipil is a wild herbs .

Mark thanks for sharing your experience what a blessing..I try to make Oaxaca mole but mine can never compare.

Mark, no olvides que cada ciudad de éste hermoso país tiene especialidades típicas. Ojalá tengas tiempo de conocer muchos lugares ricos. Bienvenido a mi país, México.

Absolutely loved everything about this video!!! It just makes my heart burst with pride to see our heritage and customs showcased through their core, which is the people. Gracias Mark por compartir esta experiencia con todos nosotros!!!

MARK! You inspire me! I recently graduated from Arizona State and live in Phoenix ! The only difference between me and you is that I’m from Oaxaca and was born in Tlacolula !! Thank you for doing this video ! I hope to meet you someday(:

Mark, anímate a venir al estado de Puebla (MX), y probar la riqueza culinaria que va desde una cemita, hasta el chile en nogada, pasando por los tacos árabes y el verdadero mole. :D

Apa mungkin kfc chicken yg cokelat awalnya dr resep ini?

Wow Im so proud to be mexican :D ive never been to oaxaca, but wow oaxacans are a very humble and friendly people. What a treat.

how could you eat everything??

I can't even imagine what that tastes like. Never seen such a delicacy.

There is not two kinds of tomatoes the red ones are called jitomate 100%mexican originally and the green ones are called tomate.100%mexican originally and the reen small is called tomatillo or tomatillo de monte.

The "Chepil" or "Chipilin" from the tamales is this plant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crotalaria_longirostrata

Chile poblano dry is called chile ancho.is almost like mole poblano.

I've been watching you in 1.5x speed for so long when I listen to you normally it's such a crazy difference!

"Tejate" ¡hace tanto que no lo bebo! Mi bebida natural tradicional favorita

i want to go on a holiday with Mark Wiens and his wife.

Awesome video!!! and that's how Mole should be finished, you gotta clean the plate completely with the tortilla. Get every ounce of that amazing sauce

Wow, that's alot of ingredients. Totally unexpected ! Lovely, lovely scenery also.

OMG I'm so jealous, I really miss the food so much! What a great Vid!

I haven't had chapulines in so long! I miss them.

Chepil is the green herb in the tamal.

My grandma also makes traditional Puebla mole from scratch. I seen her countless times make it. Some how I smelled the ingredients when I watched them getting fried! What a coincidence that I had mole enchiladas a couple hours ago!!

Increíbles tus vídeos!!! Increíbles!!!!!!!!! Eres el mejor!!!!

I think is very interesting how foreign people surprise because in Mexico we make food "from scratch", that´s the rule. In modern time is weird to see someone making food with ingredients from a can.

I, like a good mexican, love mole, but Oxacan home made mole is out of this world!! Thanks for coming to México and show our superb cusine to the world!! You are welcome here anytime you want to eat wonderful food!!!

The number 4 so easy because you in Mexico this means family...

Truly blessed to have family close like this.. Home made food everynight. I love mum granmas and Auntys who cook like home.

Use to help my mama make mole. She used to fry all those ingredientes in one pan. I learn today that platano macho can be added. If the mole turn too liquid, she add pan molido (toasted-crumble bread)

BIENVENIDOS A MI PAIS MÉXICO, GENTE HERMOSA!!! :)

I haven't even made it through the whole vid and I had to comment on how special this Woman making the mole is.

Love the drone shots! Such a beautiful place!

i love mole

loved it !

That grasshoppers look so good

please visit the state of tlaxcala also have good food

Hi Mark, Love your food adventures around the globe!!! I'm surprise to learn from this video that you're Asian. Specifically? Anyhow, keep up the good work. Enjoy watching your videos. Bless you and your family. Thank you.

Good food nice atmosphere and great family.. I love Mexico!

Yummy

Javier`s family is awesome. Such warm and generous people . My heart is filled with joy watching this video. Thank you Mark for a wonderful and extremely positive feeling you gave me by sharing this video with us.

and that's the reason why Mexican cuisne is an intangible heritage of humanity

Great video. I remember eating mole in Oaxaca in 2009. A great experience and such sweet people. Viva Mexico.

Lol

He said he is asian, but i don’t see any asian looking face

Que rico

Made the original way

Great video Mark!!! It is always a pleasure to watch your work...

My blood. Oaxacan food is the best. I miss Oaxaca all the way from NYC!

Hermosa Señora cocinera, Dios la bendiga.

This video is over the top! I love it so much. When the sprinkling of grasshoppers begins at 27:42 it's surreal from there on out!

beautiful

*Beautiful video*

Your spanish pronunciation is very good!

Chocolate and raisins in the bread

OAXACA MI VELLO ESTADO

i love how the family takes effort. what a lovely family. godbless :)

This sauce looks so insane.

another level of moole!

Mark, I am pretty sure those green tomato were tomatillo. Not the same thing. Also the large peppercorns were probably allspice.

In my family, we have mole with dry soup (sopa seca).

Mole is my favorite

(How the mom is scolding the son while driving the van)...

I think the "pepper" they're putting into the mole is whole allspice. Looks like it anyway.

MARK WIENS, TAHNKS SOO MUCH FOR SHARE OUR TRADITIONS IN MEXICO I APRECIATTE SO MUCH. YOUR WELCOME.

Micah is enjoying the wheelbarrow!

What an awesome experience, you were so lucky to have the driver have his mom cook such a traditional meal for you and your family.  Love the cultural touches, and traditional foods does take time, and to make. Thanks for sharing

Oh yes my Mexican mole ... my Grandma was from Oaxaca and she used to make it from scratch too ... my wife is from New York and she loves when I cook Mexican food . Mark you should try the (pulque) Pulque About this sound ['pulke] (occasionally referred to as agave wine[citation needed]) is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermented sap of the maguey (agave) plant. It is traditional to central Mexico, where it has been produced for millennia. It has the color of milk, somewhat viscous consistency and a sour yeast-like taste.

LOL I was good, till I saw the hoppers goin in the mix

Those walnuts look just like pecans.

God bless you.

Omg I just can't believe how humble you are mark you are such a great inspiration for me to become and treasure more what I have lots of love

Esto es México

The lady added epazote with the oregano. Epazote is easy to find in the states along the border, it grows wild. IF you find it, use only a small amount as you might over season easily. The "green tomatoes" were not tomatoes, they were tomatillos. Tomatillos are a type of goose berry with a citrus flavor they also make the sauce smooth. Pronounced tOH mah tee OHS. Grinding on the molina at the market cannot be substituted, some flavor is picked up from the 40 previous moles that went thru the grind stone. When Mark said it had an almost "foam" texture, that only comes from a grind stone. What an amazing video!!! Once in a life time experience!

I love mole!! Thank you for your trip to my country, my respect to that lady javier's mom!!... You got a new suscriber

Thank you Thank you! My heart is full of Love and Gratitude ❤️ I love that you speak Spanish. Blessings to you and your beautiful family ❤️

Sabes que estuvo poca madre el mole cuando un extranjero limpia el plato con una tortilla

Hope you got the family something for creating that amazing meal for you x

I was not surprise that u said u felt privileged to try mole..I will always remember the first time i tried mole and it was from a good friend who offered his lunch for me to try. It's not everyday that u run into these kind of rare dishes since not a lot of people can make it.

Mark - I only recently stumbled upon you while watching your collab with Strictly Dumpling and it seems that I found you at the perfect time while you are touring Mexico. I am Mexican and no words can express how special mole is to me and how beautiful this video is. My late grandmother who passed away two years ago was the single most important person in my life - after all, she was the person who raised me - and her mole was not only the best I have ever eaten but served as a common bond that she and I shared. It is such a labor intensive dish to make that she only ever made it once a year and it was always her gift to me on my birthday. I have fond memories of waking up and leaving for school early in the morning while she was busy in the kitchen getting all the ingredients ready, then coming home in the afternoon to the beautifully sweet and spicy pungent smell of my favorite dish simmering away with my grandmother standing over it and stirring it and hearing her say "ya mero esta, mija" ("it's almost ready, my daughter"). This dish is how my grandmother expressed her love to me, and watching this video has brought back so many wonderful memories. It's bittersweet. Thank you so much for this video and for taking the time to learn about my food and culture and respecting it, Mark. Thank you.

this family, especially mom must of been super happy and excited. thanks for visiting

Holy mole! Amazing. What a humbling experience.

I will pay $50 For that mole with grasshopper. Looks so delicious.

Mole truly is a unique dish. Nothing like it. One of my favorites

Man, I really appreciate you for showing over and over what Mexico has to offer. Mark you are doing a great job and I cant wait until you go to chapala, Located in Jalisco which is the biggest sweet water lake in Mexico. I hope that you continue to travel mexico, and that the people there continue to show their hospitality to you and your family. Great Job!

those waterfalls were majestic OO

The lady was complaining because she got yo maje the mole and go to the market and buy everything she needs

WOW how many languages do you speak?! Awesome!

That was Amazing. Mole from scratch. I am in New Orleans, La I will find a good mole down here

Loving the drone footage Mark! What kind of drone do you have? I probably missed it in some video

Go to my uncles business in sonora Mexico its called los mariscos de el Kora

6:08 'uhhh ไม่' lol that happens to me, too. Came back to San Antonio from being in Thailand 9 years, and my Spanish was something strange, funny, and downright weird.

OMG!!!! This Video!!!! WOW!!!! this family!!!! what a blessing!!!! this is real living life!!! thank you Mark!!! love from PUERTO RICO!

This video made me so happy that my people have the best food in the WORLD

Now that is real mole. I want some!

My Mexican friend named Maribel made me Mole Negro from scratch one time and yes it’s a lot of ingredients and a lot of work.When she was done almost 4-5 hours later.. The results,OMG. One of the best sauces I ever had on top of chicken. Finger licking good.I almost licked the plate. It was fantastic..

“i am asian, i love rice.” Jajajajaja that made me laugh. I think everybody is a little asian on the inside because rice is ALWAYS essential. Amazing video mark

love the video

You need to try my mom's "tostadas de tinga" when you comeback to Mexico.

Great video and I am so jealous!!! I love mole it’s my favorite. I make homemade mole as well, doesn’t have as many ingredients but it is very very very very delicious

When wiped your plate clean, i laughed. That’s what i do!!

Omg, you would not believe how I dream of Mole being made that way. Thank you so much. I will try this recipe.

Watching here from philippines, watched almost of your videos, japanese sushi and kobe beef are the best

Mexican hospitality is unique, Mexican people open they hearts

i hope u give some money for his mother.

soundtrack please

When you put the grasshoppers on you lost me

wonderful people

This is so interesting!

The black round spice next to the clove is Pimento or All Spice, the herb they fried after the Plantain is Thyme.

awesome work Mark! This was one of your "bestest" video. It was warm and homey. Congratulations!

Que ricoooooo , la familia es tan amable , mucho trabajo para preparar el mole. Sabe mejor al siguiente dia!!

Mole an rice is the best combo

Marks certainly had some exotic substances passing though his colon.

Under the influence of Mole lol

This is my favorite video from your channel, I love mole and wish I could have eaten that mole. ❤️

Holy Mole

I wouldn't call it "mysterious". It's more like "very complicated and delicious"

the something else is raisons

It's an entire fucket of ingredients

That unknown spice is Allspice.

Oh yea. I miss my grandma cooking in Mexico. it sad she can't come to the US anymore.

Hi Mark ! did you bring the mole paste back to Thailand ? Have you tried cooking mole too ? :) just curious on what happened to the mole paste they gave u :)

Good show.. You have great energy..✌

Beautiful place

Now you all understand why we only eat mole on special occasions I remember when my grandma and aunts would make mole it would take like a dozen people just to make the process faster

Mark, Pecans not Walnuts in mole!!!

Looks like it taste amazing, love when families invite you into their home and cook for you

some kind of other herb, mmm do you mean cannabis? :)

21:50 that white goat was definitely on something

I'm from Oaxaca, i've seen all ur Oaxaca related videos, and there's a lot of stuff u missed , i hope u have the time to come again, and try so many different stuffs u didnt eat like Garnachas, or salchichas de ejutla, tamales de chapulin, salsa de chicatan, man, and so many things, hope to see you again in my city

AmaZing sauce

Do you know trevel james?

Thank you for for the excellent Oaxaca videos!!!!!!

Oaxaca was my home for 20 years , it's great that you've could visit this beautiful city and it's delicious food! I miss it so much.

Mole means sauce in nahuatl language spoke by the Aztecs and other ethnic groups! So it's a pre European dish!

Wow!amazing foods

Si no se embarran chido con el mole , es por qué no lo comieron como debe de ser .... Jajajaja

I'm from Mexico and I enjoyed your video, you were so excited, you're really nice and they're humble. My mouth started watering with the mole, I've never tried insects though, maybe someday. Good video man!

Best video ever!!!

What a beautiful, welcoming person the mom is. How kind of her to make a mole for Mark without even knowing him. It was cute how she told her son "If you had told me sooner, I would have gone to buy all of the ingredients!" And her son is all, "I didn't know this was going to happen!"

Mark tamale of cilantro . Is tamale de verdura...

Gonna try out this recipe based off the vid one day

Mi abuelita cocinaba así

There's nothing like this in the world, it is so unique, is such an impossible mixture of ingredientes, the best!

The second set of nuts roasted were pecans, not walnuts.

you eat mole like mexican cleanig the plate with the tortilla

Everything was going so good until he add the grasshoppers

my house is your house es lo que decimos los mexicanos

Simple. I LOVE MÉXICOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Mole isn't a sauce!

that was not peppercorn it was allspice

Funny he said walnuts but they were pecans bahahaha

wow, where u learn spanish mark?

So u can speak thai english and mexican?

Mark I never thought that grasshoppers would look so delicious. You certainly know how to get people to want to try new things in life. I love this.

AWESOME AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVED WATCHING THE VERY TALENTED COOKS!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS

Everything about your videos is great.....love watching your journeys across the world.....except for the way you stuff your mouth!!!!!!!!!!!!.It just puts me off mate!

So proud of my Mexican culture. Always very friendly and humble. I love mole too!

Yes ... Now Im pretty sure your experience with food was way better than the food ranger's experience. :)

So is mole spicy? Or the chocolate and all the other ingredients kind of like numbs the chiles?

Where can I buy that in the philippines?

that mole effect on him...

hello mark i always watching your videos, so interesting. i just ask how TO make your TITLE SCREEN ON YOUR video title design....THANK YOU MARK....

Eso es comer mole; cuando el mole es muy bueno hasta se limpia el plato con la tortilla

What an awesome family!!!

Mike can make me want to eat grasshoppers with chicken and choclate pepper sauce, amazing

Around 3:24 the mom says, “That’s all. If you told me yesterday, I would have already bought everything.

Can you mail me some mole please!!!

“Type of leaf called hoja santa” is hierba santa... in my family we usually eat in eggs like an omelette, you don’t need to add oil.

One of your best videos! I love it!

Me encanta mi país , la comida es exquisita en cualquier parte de México

16:48 that looks like weed

The bread was chocolate and raisins

It's just an extraordinary vídeo and Adventure! I watched the whole vídeo as excited as a kid :) and I completely felt as I was there, I loved this woman and her amazing family!!! Thank you Mark for sharing with us this memorable experience... You transmit so much positive emotions and good vibes! Bravo! :)

Thank you for visit my city

Nice Video

THANKS FOR VISITING ESE!

Lol, at 3:35 the drivers mom was scolding him for not calling a day in advance because she said she would've gone to the market and bought everything to make the mole. Such nice lady.

One of the most beautiful videos I’ve ever watched...it actually brought me to tears. Thank you for sharing this experience...trust me, not every Mexican has this kind of privilege and it’s so great to feel as if we were there. Thanks, Mark.

Respect to the wife for making the complex meal , she is talented and very gracious

Le fueron a poner chamba a la señora jajaja, Ojalá le hayan pagado bien. Nice video, i hope you remunerated that lady handsomely because mole making is a lot of work.

I'm from Oaxaca and mole negro omg the best me encanta tus videos de Oaxaca mi tierra Hermosa bendiciones

Iovet chapulines the flavor is unique!!

Great video i lovet is amazing wow

Your so lucky

One of my favourite videos from you Mark, really wonderful to watch and you could almost taste the mole!!! :)

I love México

I need to eat that mole

Mark, what you have experienced in Oaxaca is the true spirit of mankind -love and care for each other- There are 7 types of moles all of them labor intensive, the effort and the love poured into making the mole is a ceremony (as everything else) this kind of dish is mainly prepared on special dates ---like birthdays, family reunions, primeras comuniones, etc. Being from Oaxaca i can tell you is the best keep secret of Mexico, the reason people from all over the world love to go there is because the state, the city and the different villages and towns makes you a grounding effect with the earth thru the flavor, aromas, colors and all those sensations you can only experience in Oaxaca, it is like being bombarded with sensorial experiences at every corner and the only result it is the elevation of your spirit and your well being.

The shine and consistency of that mole is amazing. It’s so shiny! I need to stop by Oaxaca!

WOW! This video has everything. The market, people, experience, hospitality, culture, food, views, the process of typical home made food, friendship, great narration, beginning and ending. Awesome. Now I want some real mole.

How did you learn mexican?

Everything is amazing for this dude....I want see you try monkey balls or rat on a stick...hey you wanna go all out rino penis....see if its aaaammazing then i trust you...

I like mole but grasshoppers..... ewww

Thank you for your visit in May country Oaxaca and welcome México city

I was just there

That was one of my favourite Videos you did. That was such an unique food

Hi Mark . How are you doing ? We live in U.S. my kids like your video and they want to see you.

I love his shirt

100% zapoteca but I don’t even eat chapulines

Mark I’m so jealous you got to experience this. I’m planning a trip to Mexico City and Oaxaca this summer, I can’t wait to eat. Love your Mexico videos

I LOVE FOOD IM FROM DOMINICAN REPUBLIC I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE U WE ME SO THAT U COULD TASTE URS DOMINICAN MANGU CON SALAMI AND RED ONION

MOLE IS TRULY THE BEST IN MEXICO! PROVECHO AMIGO!

tu hablas espanol mark?

When my wife makes mole my children come over all the time no left overs.

Aguascalietes grocery has the real mole la cubeta 15.00 bucks

mole is Mesoamerican from the mexicas . And of course its Mexico's national dish

Totally a great job, you did an amazing job by showing our traditional dish of mole. I recommend you to go to Santa Catarina noltepec , juxtlahuaca,Oaxaca they may the best mole too.

Bro you cant just toss around the n word like that, callin that poor woman a negro

Mole Negro Its a dish of the Gods! Cooking mole starting from cero? Its a big "desmadre" (nightmare) Its very complicated and only for cooking experts like the "abuelita" (granma) in the video 5:08 Thanks for sharing!

"You should've told me last night and I would've gone get the ingredients already. But I didn't know... Yeah but..." That was a little conversation of the guy with his mom.

I'm I the only one that feels like he almost fakes his reactions to the food ? He has the same reaction to every single food he tries

I am going to be offering trips to Puerto Vallarta All included. Please visit my new Web Page https://www.facebook.com/Lets-Go-Vamonos-164788014229719/

Love the editing in this video!!!

Mark, im a mexican girl and we mexican are famous for our friendly and welcoming maners. We love that other cultures enjoy ours, but the fact that a oxacan family shares whit you there recipe and welcome your family to the most sacred place in a mexican house, the kitchen, is a total honor. I'm glad you share this with the world.

I’m not from Oaxaca but damn this is making me hungry and even we’re my fam from Michoacán indigenes food is soo good to but you have to go sooo high and up in the mountains but the food was worth drive delicious

I suppose his wife is a good cook as well? How else did he fall in love with her :)

Sr.Mark no probó la aguas frescas en Oaxaca y las frutas en vinagre muy rico.

in mexican indigenous communities a woman must prove to the husband to be family that she can grind ingredients on the lava rock :D

This video warms my heart so much, I love it

I didnt know mexicans eat grasshoppers

Yak !!! Grass hopper

I ENJOYED WATCHING .... HAPPY HAPPY

Thanks for showing this incredible part of our country!

Greetings from Oaxaca de chilapa de diaz they have the best food

Mark you need to go during November, December or January when people in Oaxaca do parties for those months holidays

Chipil is not a veggie are leafs. Just leafs with nutrients, i love those with cheese. :) i am from guerrero next to oaxaca!

Realy good video Mark, i'm from Tabasco in México, you're always welcome, thanks for enjoying and sharing my Culture, keep moving forward, doing pretty good!

Im happy my mom knows how to make mole from scratch ^^ greeting from someone born in Atlixco, puebla Mexico

Thanks mark for showing the people our wonderful culture Oaxaca doesn't get much credit

I've been eating mole all my life but never knew it was this labor intensive wow!

Arroz , mole tortillas y gente autentica .. Eso es Mx..

This is my Mexico this is the beauty and hospitality of my people.

The peppercorns are pimentos aka all spice. she said pimentos.

Looks delicious but wheres the rice and tortillas

That so old school bro love it day look like the real food

That tamale LOOKS AMAZING

I like how you’re staying away from touristy areas, that’s in my opinion, the best way to experience a country and their TRUE cultural roots, untouched by mainstream influence.

Fantastic video and new suscriber from Oaxaca!

This is just an epic video. Congrats. It combines all the ingredients of an instant classic. And the food is amazing. Thanks!

Sounds like my mom scolding me for telling her something i didnt know was gonna happen yet

Mamá Mexicana que se respeta regaña al posible hijo por no avisarle un día antes xD jajajaja La amo

my mouth and eyes were watering at the same time.. nice food and fantastic story behind it..

I like Mexican people a lot ❤

Nice video, great job.

Sr.Mark no probó las aguas frescas en Oaxaca y las frutas en vinagre muy rico.

Yo dude my family is from around that area. Just another 20-30 minutes of a drive my family(well my dads side) is from Santiago matatlan. That village from my dads is know for mezcal which is a type of liquor. You should check it out if you are ever in Oaxaca. My mom is also from Oaxaca from a Pueblo near zaachila. It’s about a 90 minute drive from where you are in tlacolula. I haven’t been to Mexico in about to years. Can’t wait to go back

IT IS CALLED MOLE , ITS NOT THAT MYSTERIOUS MY FRIEND. GREETINGS FROM A MEXICAN

that was a easy way to steal the mole recipe!

First time here. Oh it looks so good. You really had me until the grasshoppers came into view. LOL Otherwise, I would love to try that mole sauce

Damn, that mole seems so legit

M D aparte nuestra gastronomía es patrimonio de la humanidad

just had Oaxacan Mole Negro for lunch at the hospital i work in (not the same as homemade Mole but good enough).

taco bell is better

Go to Nayarit the Seafood is the best. Get a Pescado Sarandiado

Awesome

Eh compa vente a Celaya gto para que pruebes las tostadas de la alameda, con eso si te vienes dentro del pantalón viejo!

Beautiful!!! I want to thank you for visiting SMALL village and showing the TRUE indigenous roots of Mexico. It is important to acknowledge the indigenous people from Oaxaca as they are constantly being erased even by the own Mexican people.

dude mouthwatering.

My mouth is watering! I make mole but that one is so different than mine. Love your videos.

I love your happy face whenever you eat

your video is amazing

Awesome adventure but grasshoppers yuck!

I Just love watching you put so much thought into arranging what goes onto your spoon/fork with a little bit of everything, to create the perfect bite. Its Awesome. PS, Hello from South Africa. I'm LOVING your chanel.

I love my people

He can also speak Spanish

Are you related to Trevor James? You have a similar passionate way of talking about food.

This is exactly what my trips to Zacatecas are like. The mercados, homemade food from scratch. I need to go baaaack!!!

At 8:40 that was one dry looking tamale. It just crumbled into pieces.

Marc i love your kidness , mole is my favorite and this is the real deal !!!! Thank you so much for your vidéos !

Amazing documentary, thanks for sharing it.

Que bonita gente!!

love all your food vids keep them coming

Mole is the best ❤️, Viva Mexico ❤️❤️!!

She said you should have told her in advance so she can get all the inheritance with out a rush

ME SUSCRIBO¡¡¡

That looks incredible!

Go to brasil and eat there

Awww how adorable is the lady who prepared this delicious dish I wish I was there to try it salutations from New Jersey

Mmm those tamales look good with that salsa.

Muy buen video del mole

Exquisito is a very acceptable term to use when the food is beyond good.

I'm lucky to know that kind of food, like the mole because my dad is from Oaxaca, the best state from Mexico.

I love this video, mostly how you were able to call an on the fly audible and visit this family so spontaneously. This lady is extremely generous and so good to see this good hearted side of people. The restaurant visits are great, but there's something truly special about being invited into someone's home with such love. Thank you for this.

Like a good Mexican mother, she kept scolding her son for not telling her they wanted mole a day before, so she could’ve bought the ingredients ahead of time

Your narration was so interesting in this video...different from the usual.... loved it!!

mole is mo le ,lol not the animal

My mouth is watering!

When he put the sauce on top of sauce i was done ✔ amazing!

Wow i am really hating wish I was there having some of that

my mom uses a little less of the ingredients but still delicious!!!

Eso es la auténtica comida mexicana si en realidad quieres probar la comida original necesitas ir a Mexico , porque eso de chimichanga, taco loco etc etc , no sé quién les dijo que eso es comida mexicana

Your vlog is really worth watching. You have raken us to places we have never been. Experience exciting things we haven't. Watching your vlog is like journeying with you. Keep on vlogging and we are just as excited to watch you eating! More power and God bless.

Hi Mark great videos, I was wondering how much of PEPTO BYSMOL are you carrying inside your backpack?!

Great video. The Mole looks delicious.

Love this episode! What a great experience

Oaxaca

Que orgullo ser mexicana. .. bienvenidos todos pero advertencia ...Se van a enamorar aquí

Oaxacan Black Mole and Mole Poblano are, even though they share many similar ingredients, completely different dishes. In taste and preparation. One born in the indigenous kitchens of the ancient Zapotec People of Oaxaca, and the other within the Walls of Santa Rosa Convent in the majestic Puebla City in the 17th Century. Both delicious, both unique and according to the UNESCO, 'Intangible Cultural Patrimony of Humanity'. You're so lucky to be learning from the original master indigenous cooks. Thank you for sharing the experience. Cheers.

Leave it to Mexicans to put sauce on their sauce :)

I'm jeleous.

interesting and amazing food! ❤️ God bless you Mark, Ying and cutie Micah!

i want that mole recipe pleeeeeaaaassssseeeeee!!!!!

The naciste people of Mexico are the best in the world so welcoming so hard working so kind they always smile at you and they’re so hostile!!

Mark Wiens I absolutely *love this experience and your kindness*

The original MOLE is from Puebla Mexico.

You are revealing our ancient secrets to the worls... Jk.. I love your videos

"I'm already under the influence of mole" best channel line.

Wow!!! u know thailand language and then spanish and you speak really good english. What the! Awesome! Hats off to you sir

was he about to cry? OMG so much joy with this video..

thats looks so nice and tats full

Incredible video Mark!!

Why do I feel like every time he talks about the Mole he sounds like he’s about to bust a nut?

Mole de tlacolula mm.. The best of all

Those are pecans, not walnuts.

Thank you for showing us the real deal Mark, it doesn't get better than that.

This must be crazy and insanely yummy dish. Wish I was a non vegetarian.

Que feo es cojone

I love this video so much! I don't think, unless you're Mexican, people understand the complexity of this dish and how lucky you are to have lived this experience! When I try to explain mole to foreign friends I can never do it, I guess it's just a dish everyone should try for themselves. Gracias por compartir Mark!

Would be cool if u surprised her by mailing her a blender. Lol

El mole de verdad es algo tan especial y único, no hay nada que se le parezca, recuerdo que mi abuelita lo hacía así desde el principio, ahora me tengo que conformar con el mole preparado, igual me sigue encantando, (y faltaron unas enmoladas rellenas de queso oaxaca)

Gracias Javier por invitarlo . Nos agrado mucho conocer Oaxaca. La gente con sonrisas y alegres. Bendiciones.

hey mark! did they grind all the ingredients with the tomatoes or did they add the tomatoes after they ground it... like does the paste have ground tomatoe in it or is it added after_ thank you!!!

U should come and eat at my house one day

we get it quit repeating the name over and over.

Todo lo que conlleva hacer el mole, ingredientes, tecnicas, etc... Por algo la cocina mexicana es patrimonio intangible de la humanidad...

You just made me remember when me and my brother used to catch chapulines :'( memories that will never come back

She is funny! Hello from Puerto Rico

I see from you videos south americans are nice people.

Delicious Food

Don't say 'tamale', the singular word is tamal, the plural is 'tamales'

I have no words to describe how admired I am with your humanity, kindness and appreciation for my culture. You are amazing Mark. God bless you and your family!

Loved your video

I love your video

In mexico everybody knows what's mole (there's a lot of different moles) maybe lot people doesn't likes mole but everybody knows what's mole...it's delicious but lot people can't eat it because it has lot condiments.

LOVED this video, left my mouth watering. shes a wonderful lady!!

She got mad at him

Que señora tan linda

Hi , and thank you for sharing your journey , you'r smile makes me happy , and the food looked Amazing till you put the lil bugs on it lol :)

O how I love this video

Looks delicious

I left all of this for jimmy dean sausage biscuits

soy de oaxaca me encanta que personas les agrada nuetra comida y nuestra gente un saludo

Mark, you sir, are my hero!! Love you

How did I JUST found your channel ?? No worries though, Ill have a mark marathon

My family makes the mole a bit different. Instead of frying everything like the lady did, mine roasts them just like she did the chiles.

His Spanish is better than mine omg

This was your best video ever. nice job

Oh, I so want to do this, Mark!

That's it! I'm subscribing to your channel. Great videos Mark

Those fucken oaxacans live in paradise man

New subscriber my mouth just watered lol mole is delicious please now try Honduras I would love to see you try food from there

Those "peppers" were pimento, otherwise called 'allspice'.

I’m so jealous mole is the best especially when it’s sweet

What's the name of the black peppers used in that recipe? I want to start growing them, they look tasty

This guys so weird.

And to think that President Trump believes that a taco salad is a traditional Mexican food. For shame...

they have a blender, but its part of our culture to make mole like this.

you can try mole with enchiladas de nopal jeje

Damn! I need to get some More now. It truly is so amazing.

You’re videos are incredible you are so humble and the videos make me so hungry

My wife make that type of mole and its so good. You can eat the mole with out the chicken and eat it with rice and tortillas and its so good. The chicken is not important.

Your videos have me hooked! And your Spanish is very good!

Bro the was some good looking mole!!! Real talk

Wow mi mama me platicaba ella molia todo en el metate nistamal y todo que delicia

My mom can make mole here in Los Angeles, Ca. We are from Puebla. It is my favorite food. I love it. I love it with the rice.  Except we don't use chapulines.

Everything looks great and delicious...but no Chapulines for me, thanks.

That was legitness My mom makes this kind of mole (she's from Puebla) with rice and chicken/turkey and I love the fact that it has an entire tab of abuelita chocolate in it ;D

What nice humble people ❤️

Such beautiful people and culture. beautiful country mexico..

A este hombre como le encanta el picante, le puso salsa al mole

Mole makes you do crazy things, like eating grasshoppers.

3:19 nice plants !!!420!

I tried the recipe in my kitchen with what I had and it was unbelievably good.

What an amazing experience... and the people seems very nice and welcoming, I have to make my goal in life to visit Oaxaca

Nothing like natural delicious food.

DUDE!!!! THOSE ARE NOT WALNUTS. THEY ARE PECANS.

My grandma used to make the best mole from scatch before she got Alzheimers. This video brings back beautiful memories of watching her make it and how delicious it tasted. Amazing video!

People in Mexico, specially in villages/rural areas/small towns, always go the extra mile to make guests feel welcomed and comfortable. They want you to leave with a good impression and leave satisfied. Even if they are of very low income-$, they would cook a lot of food, tasty and fresh from scratch. Cooking from scratch it is an art and takes skills, it is a lot of work but all ingredients put together and the end result it is amazing, full of flavor. They just treat guests/strangers/foreigners very nice, they want you to leave happy. That is very appreciative.

I had no idea Mexican food was so much more then the American type! We American miss out on the best food.

just loved your video, u have a new subscriber n_n

what is it about Mexican food? Looks wrong, smells wrong, tastes wrong but after the first week you can't get enough of the stuff and when you get home you spend the rest of the year trying to recreate it, lol.

I hope you paid those women. That metate workout seemed to be energy consuming.

No sean gachos enviten.

I want mole now.

chu say white boy

This Made me appreciate culture much more. What a beautiful culture it is

That final spoonful set it off, great videos keep it coming

Weoo!

Zapotec Women are so lovely!

I just came here to say that the host is just an exemplary human being.

This video was soooooo cool Mark! Amazing video. I want to try this exact recipe. I am smiling because you are smiling and also because it is crazy cool to see all the seemingly random ingredients get fried. Its like a food adventure

So jealous, I love mole. Enjoyed the video.

If it’s not spicy Mark is not eating.

Did anyone notice at 9:26 how the older gentleman, likely the woman's husband, sat down with his wife and helped prepare the chilies. If folks would like a "top 5 things" to a long lasting marriage - that is definitely one of them. It warmed my heart to see it.

It’s a joy watching you, your charisma and passion for food is unparalleled. Loved this episode! It was recently “mole fest” in Chicago and none of the moles come close to a home cooked mole like you experienced in Oaxaca

Oh WOW but what kind of chocolate

Mark, I was in surgery having my elbow repaired after a violent assault from a stranger the day you made this - but catching up on this, it is a gift. My wife lived for a time growing up in Mexico with part of our family in the more northern area around Saltillo. Between many, many business trips across Mexico, trips with my kids for fun, and trips with my wife for family we feel like we've seen a lot of Mexico. But this whole trip you took really made me realize how little we yet know, and how much more there is yet to see in this wonderful country. And expecially Oaxaca! Anyway, mole always makes me think of my beautiful bride - she adores it!

Wow what an experience!! I’m Mexican and I was so jealous of your experience with mole haha

The 2nd batch of nuts she fried were pecans, not walnuts.

Hahaha the mom nagging her son. That was adorable. "You shouldve told me *yesterday* "

I havent seen my family in years and I miss Mexico dearly. Just seeing the streets makes me tear up. Guess im making mole today

That Mole looks exquisite!

I just have to ask, is this your job or hobbie?

I ate taco

After watching this, I am determined to learn to make mole! I love mole and my mouth watered through the entire episode.

Just discovered your videos.... you bring so much happiness to people who are not able to travel the world, it’s an unforgettable experience... I feel like I am right there with you with your travels and your meals... never stop, you make us simple people feel like we are rich with food, flavors and travel.... stay safe

Mmmmm missing my tia’s mole

That was stunning and then came along the grasshoppers

MOULE :)

Thank you for sharing your travel experiences! The family is so lovely and kind! So cute how her husband was helping her with meal prep. God bless you all!

I wasn't able to watch this vlog in the day it was posted. I only watched it now and I can say that this vlog is different from other vlogs that you made, Mark! Specially the first part of it! The way you edited it is just soooo cool! I love it! Oh, I would love to visit Mexico as much I wanted to visit Thailand! Thanks Mark, Ying, and Mika for this amazing food tour! All the best! Good vibes from Manila, Philippines!

hahaha u are there again it's ok I wanna see u eating spicy food yummy

I am an avid fan of u mark u are so coolly very much respected person

You left so that they could add a secret ingredient!!

My grandma use to make it from scratch

Las delicias de nuestro México lindo y querido, ojala lo hayas disfrutado.

Mole looks so damn delicious

I Love Mole

Well I found your channel today and watched at least a dozen videos me mainly Thailand and Palestine idk I love those 2 food cultures and I feel bad you don't get cherries where your from :( I'm too in love with cherries

3:25 nags in Mexican lol

Que bonito es oaxaca

I don't know about the galletas Marias and the bread with chocolate in there, that's new for me, my grandma made it with tons and tons of ingredients but not those... mainly natural and the chocolate discs.

Es un pienche gringo lol bilingual speak Spanish lol

chocolate in the bread and raisins. 13:25

Mmm mole with res

Thank you so much, Mark, for sharing that with us. That...was BEAUTIFUL!!!

Watching this as I eat mole that my grandmother made.

looks like she made you buy more than needed so she can have her own pot full of mole paste XD

POWERFUL

I'm from Zamora Michoacan and they are knows for their hamburgers, and my Uncle is knows for his restaurant "Carnitas Alejandro" u have to be their early because he sales out before 12!!!!! amazing Carnitas tacos & they have unique snacks at night in the CENTRO they sale Salchitacos & enchiladas and a lot of amazing stuff I could go on and on !!! U should make a trip there !

you need to go to Mexico and try their hand made candy including CHONGOS !!!

does mole is the same type as guacamole

rictor, boby , jamaica, rebecca, delila. por pavor!

Enamorada de mi bello Mexico!

Your videos makes me miss home. I am originally from Belize but a part of my family is from Mexico, I live in London and my mom and sister lives in la cuidad de Merida... I am totally feeling nostalgic after bingeing on your Mexican food videos.. Its so mouth watering I am craving all types of Mexican dishes now.

Wow great video

I do not think the Europeans have to be with the delicious food , Europeans hardly eat peppers lol lmao ugh!

Great video. Where can I get the Recipe write down?

VERY GOOD..AND GOOD TIME ..VISITED..MÉXICO GOD..BLESS YOU..AND YOU FAMILY..TOO

Is there anything that you don't like?

This is my favorite dish! I love it when my mom cooks it

Yummm

Thank you and the wonderful families involved. Beautiful countryside!

Comer mole..es ir al paraiso..delicioso..

it is such a process !!

lost me@the grasshoppers {=[

Que rica es la comida mexicana desde Mérida hasta Tijuana

Oh that's an entire mouthful of grasshoppers

I literally cried when you tasted the first bite of mole. Yes I’m going to Oaxaca asap. What a beautiful place.

Damn, that made me hungry!

I want mole!!!

Dam you

Just ruined the mole by sprinkling grasshoppers on top...

more than three thousand years cooking that gives Mexican women a huge advantage in history and at least three hundred years perfecting this recipe that is the queen of all sauces.

"Aaaaahhhhhhhh young grasshopper..." I am sssssoooooo hungry now!

I'm Mexican and I can't stand Mole

love ur smile thank yu for sharing ur food adventures with us blessed

Amazing Episode! Fantastic Place and a truly unique experience!

Black and Mexican moms and grannys should all come together so they can bring us a culinary, homemade experience out of this world.

Hi.Mark im from Costa Rica and i love how you eat .....you make me hungri jajajajajajaj

Hermosisimo video, M O L E

And that Mole looks delicious!!!!! A lot of Mexican foods known in the world but not this one. I wonder why?

Oaxacan nutella

I like the green mole too... pumpkin seeds

When that music came on at 21:47 I started dancing banda

I love mole!

The best youtuber , how did you get to be a traveler? I really want to travel the world after college but I want to know what type of career would allow me to do this. You look so happy doing this and you’re living the life I hope to live when I’m older. Please let me know how you got to live this way .

I wish I knew what she was saying, captions would have been real nice

New subscriber here. You have one of the most enjoyable and informative channels. Thank you for all that you do. Peace and be well my friend ✌

That looks good

Mark, your so respectful towards all the unique cultures you’ve come across. I hope you get your own traveling eating show on TV someday

I love how he learns a little bit of every language he knows he’ll be around

I'm heading to Oaxaca for a wife who coming with me.

I can't believe she agreed to make that for you! She spent the entire day cooking...wow what an amazing family. So kind and generous. Really enjoyed the video.

I grew up on those cookies

lo matastes con los malditos insectos xD

14:29 Allspice is actually native to the Americas, used in cooking and the Mayans used it to embalm the dead.

Nothing like this in the world. It is so unique

Love your videos! Theyre so fun and so expressive of food! This looked so good untill the grasshoppers. Buuuut I havent actually ever tried it so hey, maybe someday!!

here is another rick bailes with a lot of carisma and stealing recepice and taking advantage of good people ...

You did a great job. I had always wanted to try traditional oaxacan mole. Ok, I had to taste it through your buds. I will one day have this experience. We have invested in Brasil, Chile, and Portugal. We had a house in the Yucatan 18 years ago. Thanks for re-sparking my desire for this experience. Respectfully, Nelson

This is most likely the single best video I've ever seen on youtube.

One of the BEST videos on Mexican cooking I have ever seen!

Me uviera gustado verte aquí en oaxaca y también te ubieramos dado un tour... Pero espero que ayas disfrutado de mi lindo oaxaca. Y sus riquezas.

okay, yeah... but the grashoppers?

That looks so delicious! I grew up with my mom making Mole and I hated it... I feel bad cause my mother would slave over the stove all day and when dinner was ready she was so excited to see our delight but I couldn’t. I was just young and I feel bad now.. watching this vid makes me want to find a good Mole place...Mexican Moms put so much love into the food... enjoy it when you can. My mom passed when I was young. I’d give anything to taste her mole again..

TLACOLULA!!!! That’s where my mom is from This vlog is giving me major withdrawals

I love to eat grasshoppers and I'm not even from Mexico!

Oh god nothing is better than fresh food from Mexico

Chicken in mole is so spicy, so sweet and so amazing!!!

Haha! Great, I love my mother's mole (i'm mexican) So you had a MOLE ADVENTURE! Mexican food is like the best thing in the entire world, my mouth is watering a lot now! haha!

7:20 he is definitely having a diarrhea later

New sub here! You are so lucky!! Mole.. at least for our family is a dish for celebrations. And... for all the job it takes most of abuelas and mothers that prepare this buys the ingredients the week before the event. The day before they start frying all the "menester" (that is how you call all the ingredients in general) and they got up at 4am the day of the celebration to go to "el molino" where they grind up all the ingredients together... While this happens the ladies that helps in the kitchen are preparing the meat from scratch... this means that weeks before the celebration day they have chosen some chickens or turkeys and they feed them specially for being cooked that day. So, while the mole is in "el molino", those ladies kill the chickens or turkeys, pluck them and cook them to have the meat and the broth ready when the mole arrives. They put the mole in a huge clay crockpot and combine it with the broth and when it boils is time to PARTY!!!! THE MAIN CELEBRATIONS THAT (AT LEAST IN MY TOWN) WE PREPARE MOLE FOR ARE WEDDINGS, QUINCE AÑOS (ALSO KNOWN AS "QUINCEAÑERAS" IN THE US), DIA DE MUERTOS, CHRISTMAS OR BIRTHDAYS. The mole goes with side dishes like rice (mexican way of course) and tamales (natural salted flavor). Is so good! I love my country!

MOLE!!! Yo quero MOLE!!!!

Mark's in foodie blogger nirvana right there. It doesn't get much more authentic than that, does it?

Forget about how good is the food the people are just awesome, generous and happy. Mark you are one lucky dude.

how many languages do you speak ?

the nutrients in the Mole , you will be healthy if you eat that regularly, good for your brain and your skin too

i ate grass hopper its nice , i liked the nutty almost prawn taste

pimento is allspice

Oaxacan food gives me the diarrhea!

Hope you got to try mole tamales from Oaxaca they’re the best tamales in my opinion!

Oaxaca doesn’t know anything about mole, go to Puebla. Puebla has the original mole

Oaxacan mole is well known in the southern or southeastern part of Texas. Just like a lot of recipes handed down generational, not everyone makes it the same but again there is always a basic foundation. Anyway, a restuarant around 30 miles from Galveston, Texas called Mellys sponsors kids from Oaxaca to work and seek education and the best part is each brings a unique and vibrant perspective of mole. Negro means dark. So the language is just plain mole, either vegan based, chicken or chocolate vs cacao or peanut vs peanut oil. Ok...ok..xoxoxo

Listening and watching that mother cook and speak reminds me so much of my abuela

wow that looks so interesting!

Despite modern life is changing homes, my best memories was around my grandma's traditional kitchen, yes she a normal full of tech one, but all family loves to cook in her other traditional kitchen using a molcajete and the metate that was built like these one and then sit on the garden and eat all together. At first I hate when my aunts told me that a real good woman knows how to cook and make handmade tortillas and mole, and they teach me how to. Now living by my own I miss them so much, but I can make all that they teach me to do just for myself. And Mark is right, the real homemade mole is unique.

Mexico = India

Su esposo como la ayuda

Jajahaja the driver got in trouble lol why you didn't told me they were coming lol that was so funny I didn't know

I'm so glad you loved mole. I'm from Oaxaca and when I see videos from there I get so happy.

I hope he gave her a donation or something. That was a lot of work. Mexicans are very welcoming.

Am I the only one who just moved to Oaxaca cause my moms family lives there and cant speak Spanish?

When I read chocolate stew I was like, ummm you mean Mole... **sees actual title** oh :/

You need to come to Veracruz, I you do I could receive you at my grandma’s house, you could go to the river to catch some “mojarras”, then come home and we would fry them :D, then for the night my grandma would make you some “hojuelas” with sugar :3, please come someday

Those Mexican women laughing in the background was one of the best parts, lol!!

I like how homeboy is all exited makes me think of how really speacial an authentic Mexican meal like more really is awesome video bro one of my favorites.

You need to come to argentina if you are looking for great food! i can give you a tour!

I’m from Oaxaca

mmmm my favorite

love the hospitality, but good luck with your cholesterol level

I love your perfect broken spanish. ♡

This is awesome

So Jealous!!!

Now I want mole

He looks like the kid from liv and maddie

Oh my! I LOL at 3:30 with the mother scolding the van driver. Mexican here BTW.

seem like guangzhou chee qiong fun sauce,but more thick and flavor due to full set of ingredient put together to cook.

Hahahaha... The mom asked to her son how to say if you want more to give you more mole.

this guy gassed it up lmaoooooooo

I’m so proud to be Mexican right now

I’ve watched a few vids of his and wow this one really shows how nice ,open and respectful he is towards others (:

Use a fork

That's a lot of work.

Never tired grasshoppers but shoot! I’d just about try anything covered in mole

I like this guys videos. And commentary. And I want to like HIM. But there’s something about his face that I can’t get past. His mouth is too tight for his face. It looks like it’s painful for him to talk or chew. It’s like it’s pulling his chin upwards. I’m gonna get so much hate for this but I can’t be the only one. And like I said. I love the content. And the commentary.

Hermoso trabajo realizas!! Yo como mexicana de Guadalajara, agradezco y valoro lo que haces para que el mundo conozca no sólo la gastronomía, sino su gente y su cultura!! Sobre todo con el respeto y alegría con que lo haces junto a tú familia!! FELICIDADES Y CONTINÚA HACIÉNDOLO POR FAVOR!! UN ABRAZO!!

I was totally hooked and drooling till the crickets came out

Nice !

I give it 1 too many "hoh oh wow"'s out of 10

Im super proud of who this guy is as a person ! & What a friendly communal place in Oaxaca that was!!

Esto es genial, pero por favor no sonrías tanto.

That molé is bullshit, come to my house for the

GPI HDTPM

Varios dicen que es muy laborioso y que es mejor comprar el mole de bote ya hecho, pero el esfuerzo vale mucho más la pena

Ughhh omg I want some now! GRANDMA!

He looks like sexy vegan... sorry.

BEAUTIFUL SOULS... DELICIOUS FOOD. I WANT SOME MOLE NEGRO, I LOVE HOMEMADE MEXICAN FOOD!

Just one last piece of advice... Next time you eat mole, you MUST have some mezcal if you are not having it, its consider a grastronomical blasphemy!!!

HAHAHA ohhh mexican grandmas and their foul language. Classic... ...I didnt expect the grasshoppers lol...

Mark... You´re the man!!! I am drweling just watching this video, I am from México and your video and anotherone from the unforgetable Anthony Bourdain are the best about mole. Nice to have you here in my country. If any time you are in Mexico City again, there still another tour missing... Cantinas and pulquerias, hope to be your host.

your attitude and amazing efforts to understand my culture and our food is amazing!!! i’m so glad you enjoyed everything, it truly excites me seeing people so open to new foods and cultures. viva mexico!

So lucky that the awesome lady agreed to do mole for him on such short notice; it looks like a lot of work to do it!

Lol that’s an extremely strange name for a town

Hola M, deliciosa comida, ve a el estado Jalisco y busca por una birria, la comida tradicional o una torta ahogada, en un pan crujiente, te encantarán

You are so lucky to have experiences such a unique experience in the world. Be always blessed.

Mole!

Where to find good Mole in Los Angeles go to Guelaguezta

I love all your videos, but my favorites are the engravings in Mexico and its cities.

@ 13:28 the bread had chocolate and RAISINS inside it

The "pimienta" is actually allspice. In German it's called "Piment" aswell, because it was sold as pepper to europe during colonial times.

Dude nobody makes mole like my mom does. When my family or nabore hood hears my mom making her mole it's like a block party

why didn't u follow them into the market and show us how they grind everything up into that paste! You went to a dumb waterfall and missed the most interesting part of the preparation! WTF!

Ayyy Dios mío que delicioso se ve!!!que buen video del mole negro oaxaqueño.

Chocolate stew feels a bit exaggerated but awesome video

Your high energy and emotion made me stay on your video. I love the excitement you had. This was a wonderful experience. Thank you.

Mexican slogan.. "My house is your house"

3:45 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Craving Mole now lol looks very good

try to get in for Anthony Bourdain's job

This video is the best!

What a grand story and wonderful food and cultural adventure.

would love to eat some too. the texture of the mole is so smooth.

What an amazing video! It was so neat to see the market and the whole process !!!

MEXICAN AND ITALIAN FOOD ARE SIMPLY THE BEST!! NO DOUBT

Pinche Guedo

Gracias por estos videos de mi tierra querida.. Años sin ir pero cada vez que veo un video tuyo sobre la gastronomía mexicana viajo contigo.

Great video, lovely recipe, I love mole. A mistake in your video : those were nuts yeah, but pecans, not walnuts.The pepper you've never seen was allspice. And these are NOT green tomatoes. They're tomatillos which are not related to tomatoes. Completely different thing.

I would kick a puppy in the nuts just to have a taste of that mole

That mole thing is amazing ;_; I waaaaannnntttt

I am mexican. Love nexican food mmm

Man. Im envious. I have indeed tried mole in different occasions though.... I bet that one was certainly a one of a kind.

Her smile is out of this world

The best food is not found on the most expensive restaurants the best food it’s cooked at home

No estaría mal si subtituladas tus vídeos porfis, me encantó tu vídeo

would be nice if there was a spanish to english in the Closed Captions, but I think this is a good video. He gives his own opinions and say into the dish that's rarely seen on Youtube (in my opinion) and he convinced me to give it a go at my own kitchen

Ponle subtitulos en español a tus videos... Nada te cuesta y ganas muchos más subs

ARRIBA MÉXICO! ...

El metate es el procesador Azteca Las casuelas de barro le da un sabor exquisito ala comida

Esas recetas pasan de generación a generación desde la bisabuela asta nuestras madres así lo hacen en mi familia .

Mimmmm que Rico

Daam i got scared .i thought it was my mom yelling at me again !!

just to add. i hope you payed her for the grocery's . she was so good for doing that for you

i hate mole, it doesnt taste good to me. my favourite thing is tamale oaxacan style

Part of me just wishes that the majority of humans were like you Mark. Someone who is brave and open-minded, being able to open your eyes and connect with other human beings can bring one so much peace and love and really, that is what humanity needs. Of course, it is only part of me that wishes this because the other part knows that wishing doesn't help. The people of Mexico and Central America are beautiful people who are suffering so much. I myself am from Honduras which I recommend you definitely visit!!!

Hello! African American here. Love u mexicans! Best food ever. And the indigneous native foods are extremely good too!

Mark, according to the (one of many) legend, the mole was invented by some nuns of a cloister convent (Santa Rosa) in a monastery located in the city of Puebla, this because as the king of Spain had appointed a new viceroy for the new spain (colonial name of mexico), he arrived too quickly because his entourage sailed from spain in a fast vessel and not in the typical slow and heavy warship (a galleon), then he landed on the city-port of Veracruz (main harbor of the realm) a pair of days prior the scheduled official welcome, then in matter of few days, he was heading to the capital, Mexico city in a week-long travel, and the mid point between those cities, was the city of Puebla wich was a mandatory stopover to enter the Valley of Mexico which encircled the capital city, and had to prepare to cross the difficult roads of that mountain range, the problem was that the monastery headmaster had not yet been informed of the arrival of the new Viceroy, due bad communications, and in the last moment the monastery received the scouts of his personal guard, the headmaster bishop entrusted some nuns to receive and attend the viceroy and his entourage, but they informed to the headmaster that at that moment, the kitchen of the monastery had run-out the main ingredients, that the Spaniards and the Creoles (whites born in new world) ate normally, so the nuns took all the simple ingredients that they had at hand, and prepared a sauce over boiled chicken with spices, and rice, after the dinner, the viceroy was absolutely enchanted and the dish was so popular, that spreaded very quick through the country.

I cannot watch you because your laugh creeeepps me out!

That’s rooster NoT chicken... ROOSTER You were eating Rooster...

Id love to have them pots !!

I would have smoKed a phat Joint before eating all this...

Mark speaks Spanish?

holy mole'

The mole looked so delicious

❤❤❤❤ amazing video the lady was so humble and nice

He seems like he puffs the magic dragon...

I wish you hadn't left in the middle to go to a waterfall for no reason.

Amazing. Watching this video makes me feel very bland.

She said: the more you insist the less you can resist

She is 100% old school.

I can't believe you ate grasshoppers.

Thank you for appreciating our food and country!

Your kindness deserves 5million subs

Visit Michoacan.

Wonderful and amazing.

This dish is a 8 course meal in one!

Yeah, you really need the chocolate, you can put all kinds of stuff. I put cinnamon and vanilla in mine.

I like the way he headbutts his words at you when he gets excited.

Oaxaca Mole negro is Amazing!!!!!!!! Yum

Never heard it called chocolate stew. I like the video

Lol its not her mother its just someone they know tht concider them as her children

True, what a privilege Mark!!! Lucky man

Mark, what a glorious video. I second Je S. Your love and passion for food, permeates your love of people, their culture and viceversa. I love seeing your videos and what you bring to us and it also awakens the desire to go to these places and know more about the food and therefore their culture. You have a unique way of putting that forth to your viewers. God bless you indeed.

You can get it at the store and add some of your own chocolate and others stuff and its pretty damn good, add some grilled chiicken in towards the end and cook it in the sauce, it's good af. Serve with mexican rice.

Are you team red or green chicken enchiladas though?

At 16:00 I am starting to think that they are just trolling you Mark. Let's see how it ends up.

Wow this is so humbling how they took in strangers & treat them like family hats off

Hopefully you guys paid them for all that work and the ingredients!

I want to thank you for paying homage to my beautiful Mexico. Great work

Thanks for this Mark!

You need to click very fast to laugh 27:30

I am sad

Never mind

Aww I miss going to my parents hometown in Oaxaca

I love how fresh all the food is in Mexico.

Bloody hell that looks amazing!

Pleasee Mark, come to Brazilll, we have a lot of food here hahaha

those were pecans, not walnuts.

How old is he?

There is no mole negro in this video!

My mom puts spicy chiles so when I try sweet mole it feels off to me kek

She is fantastic mom. ^^ The mole have many ingredients, it takes much time to making it, and there are several types of mole. My mom also has their recipe for poblano mole.

Go to Jalisco, to a small town in Arandas called La Trinidad, and experience mole ranchero. If you go in December, I will personally make it for you

Nuestra cultura, comida, musica, todo de Mexico es hermoso.

i don't see scraps.

Mark i'm so happy you made this video. It gives a glimpse to the plant diversity in Mexico which has influenced the food and is still to be taken advantage of. Mexico is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world and I believe 4th in flowers. That diversity is reflected in the making of mole. So many different chiles are used to make this dish. When people choose not to eat mexican food without salsa or sauces.....well ask a french person how important sauces are to their food.

Your hideous neck strings shows that you take lots of pills and you almost talkin out of breath out of excitement really sucks too.

May God keep giving you the grace and the strength to keep doing more videos! Love the humbleness that you and your wife and child have.

It just reminds me of my mother’s sambal sauce

Thanks for sharing such amazing video

Bigotes de mole

I wish i had the recipe!!!!!

My mom does this once a year, every year, it definitely takes a long, long time to make, its a labor of love.

Ren both ❤️❤️❤️

Yummy mole!

That Mole was mas authentica!! It just made me so very hungry for some!, it is my ultimate favorite dish!, only you have to have some Tecate Cerveza too! Oh dear I gotta quit, I'm just torturing myself!.

My grandma make the the best mole

Like si eres Oaxaqueño y Mexicano de corazón y te encantó esta pieza magistral de vídeo y obviamente el Mole. Actualmente estoy fuera de mí bella Tierra Oaxaqueña y me sentí como en casa mientras lo veía. Bello muy bello! Thanks Mark, you are such a great person and youtuber.

Where have you been all my life!? Amazing video, thank you for being so kind to my people in Oaxaca ♥️ I can’t believe I haven’t seen your videos until now, I’m a fan!

3:24 I can relate.

OMG that looks amazing i would def devour that just like he did.. i am starving to check out Mexico one day soon.. Greetings from Sydney Australia.. keep up the gr8 work mate ✌

Just to let everyone know this will give you intense diarrhea for several weeks

You really struck Gold Mark! ... not many people even in Mexico have seen Mole done from scratch... awesome vid, congratulations. My aunt who is also from Oaxaca makes mole this same way, and it's soooo goooood.

??!

Are you from mexico

Love your expression I can tell it is genuine. Thank you. Now I want to have some mole..

this is the first time I have been on this channel and I love Marks smile and enthusiasm and kindness and curiosity. it's like watching the happiest kid playing with its favorite toy in the entire world. So much positivity and joy. I love it!!! thank you so much for doing this.

No pues la señora si se la rifo

3:23 typical Mexican mom regañándolo por no avisar por algo que no sabía

Did you get sick from drinking the water no hate it's a serious? I heard that our stomachs are different

its interesting how the sauce had the same colors as the landscape of the waterfall

My God!!! It is sooooo gooood!!! I love mole and I wish I could eat some day one with such a recipe and procedure..... Absolutely a high cousine dish!!!

I am soooo jelly right now ...i want some tooooo

I’m from Oaxaca and I cried watching this video!! I’m so far from my roots

This is one of the best videos I have ever watched. Great job. What an amazing experience!

incredible

My favorite Mexican dish!!!! It's delicious!!! In Puebla, you can eat it with bean tamales and it's very tasty.

Those were not green tomatoes, they were tomatillos--related to tomatoes, but not the stuff we put on BLTs; used in various salsas.

Thank you Mark, there's not a single ounce of prejudice displaced by you unlike the CNN and food/travel channels nimrods. Thanks for this brutally honest experience. Love it.

I travel the world thru your experiences with your foods travel

I would avoid Mexico until the police and the government put some actual effort in curbing the cartel.

Hola se puede hacer más sano el mole si asas todo y no lo fríes y le quitas el pan , yo así lo preparo y es delicioso

Are you sure she’s not over adding ingredients for your benefit

Mark they looked like pecans to me, rather than walnuts. That sauce looked amazing. Also I can't believe it but I want to try the grasshoppers :O

Where’s the sink to wash hands?

No no chilies not spicy

If the base is chocolate it’s great

Thanks to my Mom and Grandmother I learned how to make it from scratch

Por eso mi querido Mark la comida mexicana fue declarada patrimonio inmaterial de la humanidad. Te falta probar los chiles en nogada. XD

I remember this one time my older sister brought her friend from the US to stay with us for like a week. She wanted to eat mole before leaving, so ,of course, my mom had to make it, because that's what moms do. Anyway, every mole has different ingredients in every region and the type of mole. My mom loves mole dulce (sweet mole) and it has oranges. The girl was so confused when she saw the ingredients. It was slightly funny seeing her being so confused, because I've grown up with that, and I am honestly so grateful and proud of my culture

You got lucky; I think it’s pretty presumptuous to just go to a different country and ask to be invited to dinner and ask for a specific dish.

the mom be like *so he buying the food? Well i better do my weekly shopping too*

mem-more-able >< try: mem-rah-bull

THOSE WERE PECANS....NOT WALNUTS @12:30

Its 4am, I cant sleep, I have my hours turned around. I was going to play a video game but now I'm going to study spanish, something I've been telling myself I'm going to learn for years now. Seeing / hearing this Asian man conversing in Spanish has inspired me! I'm half Hispanic so I feel I should know it anyway.

Nothing is more American than Mexican food.

I want to cook with these ladies

AMAZING!!!

i want some negros too

That's true art.... The ultimate expression of "a work of art "

What a wholesome extraordinary experience. What sweet and amazing people and culture!

“Ayer me hubieras dicho y hubiera ido a comprar todo” the amount of times I’ve heard my mom say that to me when we’re both surprised by guests

Alex Rosil Gurl i can relate

wow striking simlarities between philippines and mexico???

Now try Mole Poblano.

Vaya; es increíble que los extranjeros valoren más nuestra comida que los propios mexicanos.

MI MEXICO LINDO! Our hospitality is truly one of a kind. No matter where in the world a Mexican is we will always show true hospitality. We will try our best to make you feel at home! love this!

By far your best video

I’m Mexican and I’m proud to be one! I love my amazing people because they treat others like if they were you’re family.

I wish I had someone to make me this dish, SAD !

Mark, the tamales where veggie tamales

Hi Mark, I have a question why don't you have your wife give her opinion on how the food taste? I am asking you this question with a lot of respect. I love all your video's. God bless you and the family

Thank you for taking me bacķ to Oaxaca. I could taste the mole from Boulder Colorado! Starting my day with very fond memories from Oaxaca and pueblo.

I’m pretty sure there’s a chinese version of this too

Ya thank GOD for Don Maria Mole ! YUM !

MARK the last time I saw you being that YOU are Asian, is YOU were in ASIA ! Now You are in Mexico ! What happened to ASIA ! Asian and you speak spanish ? what's up with that ? Pensé que eras asiático-americano? Me estas poniendo nervioso ! Borracho !

This looks so goooood... uhp now I am hungry. >:(

what a beautiful and blessed experience

Omg. I’ve been craving mole since 2007 when I had it for the first time and I’ve never been able to have ever again. Yum. Looks incredible

Mucho bieno

Great video! I really like your enthusiasm.

Chabacano is apricot

Thanks for an amazing video. Made me miss christmas in Mexico (didn't go last year), where my family cooks together like this all the time. It was interesting to see how they made their mole. Every town and family has their own recipe and it was fun to campare what we do the same and what we do different in ingredients. Even though my mom can cook it from scratch, she likes to go to the market before she comes back to America and buy half a kilo each of mole paste from different regions (they sell different mole paste in the same stall). Its delicious to taste the different flavors for the "same" food item. Plus its an easy way to have the same flavor with out the 5hr work. You just add chicken brought to the mole paste and maybe chocolate (depends on your liking. I like mine sweet, the rest of my family likes theirs less sweet and more spicy). Great job on the video!!

Dude. You look native, a mix of that blood line and Spanish blood. Amazing.

27:40 BRUH!!!!!!!!! smh

At the 14:30-ish point, it's allspice (pimienta de Jamaica) that she's using, not a type of pepper. I could be wrong, but I'm not :)

I'm really curious how it taste. Is there anyone out there can describe it for us who never taste mole in our life before?

Mark, How many languages do you speak?

Now, you know how can be the mexican hospitality!! It's awesome to see how you delight with the mexican food!

I like that the thumbnail makes it look like she is in a pool of chocolate stew.

I love how u want tried everything in a good way and commented it in a good way even u dont like it that much

So what kind of chocolate do they add? I would think that is the most important part of chocolate mole.

its beautiful how you meet people and how the universe provides you with these encounters. cheers to your travels

nah, not green tomatoes, tomatillos. still a nightshade but very tart and different.

When we went over this city in spanish class some kid said wakanda and did the salute everytime the teacher said oaxaca

Can't eat my mola without rice

You just need the rice

Been there twice in a year! Also to those waters. Everything about Oaxaca is BEAUTIFUL. You forgot to mention how CLEAN the streets are!

5:44 she actualy told you that the old woman is not from their family but since is a very close friend they treat her like it was her grandmother.

Mark Ty for come to mexico!!, :3 I hope you have had a great time

The mom getting after the son around the 3:24 mark is hilarious. She's telling him "you should've told me yesterday and I could have gone and bought everything." The son's like "I didn't know!". lol

I love mole mmmmmmm I make with doña Maria but add more Chiles and chocolate....Oaxaca people are so humble my tios are from Oaxaca they’re food and horchata is ssssooooo ggggooooddddd

Wow...that mole looked incredible!!

I need a taste

Under the influence of mole !

"Oh is that going to be fried too? Oh YES! yes it is!" haha!

Very nice video man

That's a lot of oil but this looks so good

Lady in the back "como le digo que si quiere mas??"

Que rica salsita roja se mira

Fantastic video!

i want the recipe

She remains me of my abuelita

por un momento creí ver a benshorts xD 5:05

I love understanding both languages

Go to Zamora in mexico! Its full of culture and great street food! Ecpesially the main plaza

catfood

I have eaten mole, andin every ocasion, it is always the same experience, it has somany ingredients it tastes like nothing, itis overrated.

Oh my God super delicious. I saw two times the video, I want to try for next week.

I will make 2019 a Oaxacan holiday.

If you ever get the chance to go back to oaxaca, try the Mixtecs version of mole. Mixtec is also an indigenous native group in Oaxaca. You should’ve had her teach you some Zapotec !!!!! Lol this was a fun video to watch

Can't believe Mark lost words after tasting the mole...

I ate mole today

My home town of Oaxaca, how I miss it. Hope you enjoyed it!!

My mouth is watering! It looked so good!

Could you please translate what they are saying to English in the captions?

Mark, i'm not sure if this'll mean anything, but I've been lurking your channel hard for a while. This video got me subscribed.

(Speaking in foreign language)

Mark te invito a comer Quelites en Tlaxiaco, Oaxaca!!

I've always wanted to learn how to make mole negro from scratch!!! Also, once invited as the plus one of my cousin, the host offered us chapulines. Internally, I wanted to die!!! But as a guest, i dug right in. I had them in a taco w/tortilla de maiz & salsa fresca. I was surprised how they really don't have a flavor, just a good crunch. I love your video. It really reflects the beauty of Mexico. Took me back to my great grandparent's ranch & warmed my heart.

Maravillosa mujer ♥♥♥

I watched this entire video only because it was interesting to hear your.. what I would assume is a Northern Central US accent, used in conjunction with this Mexican Spanish accent you use all in the same sentence. Polar opposites. Very jarring.

I would be jumping up and down from excitement!! Like...is it ready yet?! Is it ready now?!! Almost?!!! ❤❤

Such a beautiful family.

3:03 the old guy with the cap is my grandfather also the dog is his

One like for my grandfather at 3:03 with the cap

I love watching your videos of food around the world. You are very respectful of people and their life. You do these videos with the biggest smile!!!

3:03 the old guy with hat is my grandfather

Se ve bien.

Ay ahora quiero mole :(

And your smile

I hate your face man

Mark Wiens for President!!!

Can someone please tell me why boiled chicken is used instead of roasted chicken? Wouldn't roasted chicken taste a lot better with molé, especially if the mole combines with the crispness of the semi-burnt chicken skin? Just curious.

Ungloved unregulated meat handling makes me nervous...........I’m weird:/

That looks so good! I hope I can try it someday

Mole is truly the most mysterious dish depending on where you’re from! My mom puts chocolate in our recipe and I have a friend who’s family puts Coca Cola. Amazing.

hi's almost in tears...

OMG! These ladies talk like my grandmother, I never realized that's the oaxacan accent. I would say they were in a hurry making the mole, if I remember correctly my grandma starter making mole several days before being served.

Recipe plse!!

I don’t like mole when it sweet. It’s just not good when it’s sweet. It’s better when it’s more savory

you make eating grasshoppers look amazing... I want some now.

I'm starving and this guy succeeded in tripling it. Damn

The most complicated recipe and the enthusiasm of this guy makes me want to taste it badly

This is one of the most complex recipe i've ever seen lol

Go to Santa maria CA a lot of people from Oaxaca are from there I always eat mole when I go there Reason why is because my aunt says it takes a lot of time and spices, basically too much work to make mole Tamales with mole are sooooo good!!!! Try it when you get the chance

The spice at 14:30 is allspice ('pimento')

Great episode! I have watched your channel for a while but it was this series and this episode in particular that has finally got me subscribed. Keep up the excellent work!

I’m Mexican, born and raised here all my life, and I really thank you for your respect for our culture. The way you handled yourself was beautiful. Your interest for not only the food, but our people, language and our culture is very emotional for me to see. This is the first video of yours I’ve ever watched and I’m sure I’ll be a regular watcher. Thank you

I really appreciate your kindness, openness and enthusiasm. you are so open, and grateful, and I really enjoyed this video

I love you videos but please start adding subtitles for your viewers who don’t speak Spanish ;)

At 14:26 that's pimenta, in Jamaica, we call it pimento http://wwwchem.uwimona.edu.jm/lectures/pimento.html , it's similar to All Spice

You forgot to add, "avoid a beheading" to that to-do list.

wait, is this fool Canadian ? that might esplain everythin..

can't stand the fake upbeatness.

The women are so friendly and beautiful. I love how they all join in to cook for Mark. Great episode. You are so lucky to meet such a lovely family.

I just recently discovered mole and fell in love with the flavors but I'm sure it does not compare to the homemade mole you just had. I ordered mine off a whim @ a local restaurant.

We mexicans know the very definition of redundancy in our cuisine. Sauce on top of sauce, corn on top of corn, carbs on top of carbs on top of carbs, chicharron on top of... you got the drill...

The whole video is amazing

BTW Nueces are pecans not walnuts

Love your travels. Your enjoyment of food, culture and people is palatable. You do eat, what must be the biggest spoonfuls in the world!

So delicious !! The family was so sweet especially the mom

The best mole is from puebla and the the oaxacas burn the chiles then the name mole negro

"molemolemolemolemolemole" -Austin Powers

I want to visit this place

Is there anyone who could provide a recipe based on this video? This is just insane and something I would love to try and replicate at my home.

“Chocolate stew”

Seeing these places all over again gives me nostalgia and makes me want to go again. I truly my culture and glad to see you enjoy it :) You should've gone to a town nearby called San Mateo Macquilxhochitl

Idk anything about mole, but damn I WANNA TRY

You should go to San Miguel del ville

This has to be one of my fav videos from you Mark!!! I have watched this many times!!!!!!! I hope one day i get to taste this wonderful mole!!!!!!!!!!!

That looks absolutely amazing. I'm allergic to chocolate but I think I would willingly plan and set aside a "migraine day" so that I could feast on that dish. :-9

Oaxaca es una de las zonas donde más rico se hace de comer en especial el mole negro, una verdadera delicia para casi cualquier paladar.

So good

When you understand EVERYTHING they're saying.

Ok.... voy al refrigerador a recalentar las tostadas con mole que hice hoy jajajajaja Amo ser Mexicana ❤️

When people said this video brought them to tears, I can clearly see why. It made me nostalgic, homesick, hungry and overall proud to be part of such an amazing culture and people. There is nothing like gathering with your family to make the food of your people. Buen provecho :)

damn i have only had mole from a jar...i am sad now :(

sauce on sauce on grasshoppers. ......

The mole making process was amazing and then.. the grasshopers arrived. It was so unexpected haha

Mexico deserves a lot better than it gets from it's neighbors north.

For a guy that likes food he sure looks like a skeleton

Question: Do you pay the family to do this?

I always get beer and sugar mixed up so I thought she offered beer in the chocolate

watching your videos makes me happy :)

yaaac...bugs....

You brought me a great experience. Great video! You made me wanna go to mexico.

Viva Mexico

Que Gente Tan Humilde, amo a mi pais

I love how you embrace every adventure. I love food and people as well. Some people will just never understand. I thoroughly enjoy watching you and your family.

nueces are butter pecans

MEM-or-able

This most be the best video about autentic mole recipe ever! Amazing!

Oaxaca’s sounds like you just cough up a lougy when you say it

You’re brave. I’m Mexican but tecate is a no go for me lol

New sub here

I love how @ 3:24 the mom scolds him for not telling him the day before so she can be prepared. And he says yes, well I didn't know. hahaha

Se antoja un mole con pollo y arroz :v

alguien mas que hable español noto que en el minuto 3:22 la señora regaña a su hijo por no avisarle que comprara las cosas un día antes para la elaboración del mole jajajjajajajajaa...

Such an Amazing Mole experience!!! The way you enjoy the food makes you feel there tasting too!!! You are an amazing person! God bless you wherever you go!

oaxaca is known for their seven moles, i love oaxacan cuisine and also the food from guerrero is great. i love it

Pre-hispanic foods are very complex. You are very lucky my friend. This is a meal to die for.

OMG! Holy Mole sauce = Mother of all Sauce!

What a beautiful place. Interesting combination of fried things. Something I would try

SIIII Asi se limpia el plato cuando comes un RICO MOLE!! :)

♥️♥️♥️

i like mole but not that one it doesnt look good michoacan mole better 100%

I want to go here, Mark - to these people. Such sweet people! This awesome meal was created like nothing I have seen before! To hear Trump speak disparagingly about Mexicans is an absolute travesty. Neither he nor his kind would have opened their storehouses and their hearts and treated you like a king like this lovely Mexican family nor the equally sweet people from Ghana.

Mark those "some kind of pepper seeds" look like what is called pimento seeds in the Caribbean or 'all spice' in the States.

The guys said that the starchy drink was made for the Zapotecan Gods.

Awee the mom said “you should have told me yesterday, I would of buy all the ingredients myself” Mexicans are so generous!

very cool!

Wow that's the best mole I seen in my life even tho I didn't taste it good job brotha

Oh mothers! “Me hubieras dicho ayer!”

Try a new facial expression

I demand a subtitle on this one, haha, looks amazing as always

My beautiful country and the amazing food and people.... I love mole but I've never tried Oaxacan mole, my grandmas mole though is bomb even though there is many ways to make it, but it looks amazing even with the grasshoppers though ive never have tried them it made me hungry!!....Thanks for sharing mark.

Mole is my favorite dish

You have such respect for all cultures. God bless you! This was a great video!! Not a fan of the grasshoppers but, mole looked out of this world. BTW , the drink you had at the market was referred to as a “beverage of the Gods” by the man next to you while you drank it. FY I .

Mole is nasty tho

You just lived my food dream! Something like this is on my bucket list!

wow once in a life type food experience

Let me tell you something although Oaxaca state has so many different types of mole the Mexican state that has the most different types of mole is....Tlaxcala !!!

really captions, "(speaking foreign language)"???

I have made mole from scratch, and everyone makes a different version. What you call pepper is actually allspice. They are not walnuts but pecans (walnuts may work too), and the dried herb is thyme. I make these clarification in case anyone tries to make it. I really enjoyed this clip.

Mole is one of my favorite dishes. Mole arroz and some tortillas with limon and salsa and a coca cola on the side.

Bruuuh so many washing up after

esta aprovechando para comprar todo el mandado ;) jajajaja.

Mark! Thank you for sharing this video! It reminds me of Mexico and I can almost smell the mole here in Canada :D I love your work xx oh and also, anything you have with mole just serves as a vehicule to bring more mole to your mouth :) I used to eat only rice and tortillas with mole because I only wanted the sauce haha

"There's nothing better than adding sauce to sauce" such an amazing tour! Thanks for the trip!!

the aRoMa

not walnuts, pecans

At around 20:00 he says they are going to take the ingredients to the market where they have a grinder called a Molina. That's a brand of food processor - so when you are making this at home, don't feel obliged to use a mortar and pestle. A food processor is the preferred method even in Oaxaca!

Everyone helping that’s nice and i love the kitchen i miss Mexico soooo much and the people over there the best

you’re the greatest love how you show some much love and appreciation for my country!!!!

This was awesome, I'd love to try this one day! The peppers you weren't sure about are Allspice berries & the green tomatoes (not actually tomatoes) are called tomatillos.

Omg my mouth is watering! Looks so good!!

I’m Mexican and I don’t even like mole. But watching this made me consider eat this again until I like it lol

he definitely knows how to eat..

does anyone know the name of the song he used for this video? sounds amazing.

[Speaking foreign language] Hahaha if you need help, I can translate it, I think it could be a more special video if everyone understands what the locals are saying!

I’m from Brazil!!!! But Mexico has my heart! I love this country

I'm so jealous! I'm a Texan and I want to go on a Mexican food tour soooo bad. Mole is especially my favorite. My mouth waters and my heart aches for mole like this, you are a lucky man.

la cantidad d ingredientes me sorprendio

I think that was allspice

This is an amazing dish I really appreciate watching this, thank you

What a great day ur all having, great home cooked

I hope they paid her well !

I love cooking a lot and this really inspired me to make mole like her's I just love traditional, raw made food. But since I'm vegan, I think ill have to use tofu or something. I love the video, thanks!

is it like an enchilada sauce?

Wow, so amazing!

We make Mole at home in California and my Kids love it, it's one of their favorite foods. We us my grandmothers recipe. You have to eat it with Mexican rice and Freshly Make Corn tortillas. It's glorious. The grass hoppers 'Chapulines' are kinda gross though, LOL

Mark is such a sport. They fried Goya crackers and he was like, ok... interesting you haven't lost me yet ... LOL. Seriously I'm addicted to this channel

It is the first time that I watch your videos and now you have a new subscriber. ❤️ I loved how you show the culture and gastronomy of my country, and your face while eating is simply amazing... I want some mole right now!!! Un orgullo ser mexicana. ❤️❤️❤️

You're videos are Awesome

the unknown peppercorns is called allspice in english.

I sure hope you tipped the chef $50-100 bucks

legitimately one of the best videos about mole on the internet, you could watch a million recipes online but this really shows you how its done

I know very little about Mexican fare, but at 12:42, those are not walnuts - they are pecans. Then, the tomatoes they use are not 2 kinds of tomatoes. The green are the tomatillos (gooseberry family). Thought a foodie would know those basics...

Plot twist, the family hated you and had to put up with you shoving the camera in their food for 5hrs, they only reason you were let into there home, was so that they could get onto your youtube. :p

Mark, you speak thai, spanish and English?? What more can you do

Javier's mom is beautiful.

That is just awesome , some of us just cant travel over there but thanks for the trip , my dad is from Oaxaca , i taste chapulines , mole , and other things from there but i was 5 years old , i am 37 and i never been there , so lucky you man

It is so good that you traveled all that way just to taste Mole

Send me the recipe please

I’m just happy cause I now have a video to prove Oaxacano are short

How did I not know about you?

Your videos are on point... amazed by your talent to bring out the best in your videos! Best mole video ever

Thank you for this video!!!

Mark, your Spanish pronunciation is perfect...Quite astonishing,in fact. How is that?

He’s so excited ! I love mi Oaxaca !!

My grandma has a mole negro on her face. It was benign.

That stew has everything in it! Lol!

Sorry I wouldn't drink anything someone mixed with their hands without boiling it afterwards! Nope!

Please hurry and get this gentleman some mole, before his face completely warps! thanks for the video, I learned a lot.

These people are so beautiful and warm. This is by far the best vlog I have seen on your channel.

Not chocolate stew...more like cocoa curry.

My culture is not your content.

I think i recognize the round biscuits\cookies. Are those marie cookies?

I need a Oaxacan wife

Mark you need to make a kulinarisches resort..for international dishes.get cook from each part of the continent.omg

Watchin mark first thing after waking Up.ima gunna make dis a routine #kenyaborn

Can I have your life lol my dream to go travel and try new food

Dude. Why the bugs. Why. Why.

Omg!! I love your videos

Dang, that mole with some Mexican rice, yes please!

Mexican moto...mi casa es su casa. My beautiful mama is from Sinaloa Mexico and throughout our lives we’ve visited many different parts of Mexico but my dream is to go to Oaxaca. My husband is from Michoacán and I was recently there for a few weeks and it was AMAZING! Hopefully Oaxaca is next

I want that sauce !!!

How I wish I can taste and eat that mole!

Wow my mind is blown

OMG!!! I need to find Javier's mom!! LOL this was awesome.

That is a priceless cultural document. Award-worthy. Oaxaca is one of my favorite places in the world. I haven’t been there since 1972, and I’m glad to see it’s still wonderful.

Y el aroz primo?

Enjoyed but you lost me at the grasshoppers lol urgh!

3:21 omg his mom is scolding him even though he's a grown man

Love these kinds of cooking videos, you actually get to see the country and the people and traditional methods of cooking with fresh local produce...

When Mexico lost 0-3 to Sweden and you need some consoling so you go to your abuela for mole!

Oh i wish i wish i wish i could try that amazing mole sauce

you are really making me go to Mexico

The town is just beautiful

Go crazy or go home

I’m not trying to be rude, but don’t chew and smack with your mouth open on camera. Cool video though. :)

Insanely cool. Subbed. Grateful you were able to experience this and share it with us.

For people who live in the tropical reagion and see them not eating any vegetable is surprising to me.

Mark your comment can be behind the camera.We really don't need to see your face every freaking second.

Mexico is a state which whites failed to make part of USA and enslave it's people as an entire population. Since it was too hard to eradicate the Mexicans, they were too many to murder and poison and kill like the native American tribes, and the Australian tribes who were ethnically cleansed mercilessly.. That's why Trump supporters hate Mexico and Mexicans.

Mark you are a very lucky man and a man with kindness. This video got me very hungry for real mole.

Did you pay them?

It’s not a chocolate stew, chocolate is part of the ingredient but that’s it

Your such sweet and delightful young man! Thank you for all the amazing sweet recipes with your dulce personality!!! Thank you!!!

There life style don't look all that bad why do they keep sneaking to the us

Mark, you are the best, why? You glow with love for humanity and your family! That means God is with you in my book my friend. You are blessed!

Awe

Mark @14:36 those are dried pimento berries

Mark @12:42 those look more like pecans than walnuts

Awww they all seem to kind and warm-hearted, I want to visit one day

No you should have made a taco with that last bite.

You lucky Dogs!!!!

Wow this is so OG with a metate

This video brought tears to my eyes because this is so amazingly bringing me all these beautiful memories with my mom grama and just tradition. And this is only the biggening to Mexico and it's delicious dishes.

Host does not sit well with me at all lol luckily these amazing cooks made up for it! Love mole reminds me of my grandmothers

YO Mark, how many languages can you speak?????

Found a recipe on Food Network for this, looks like it's all the same ingredients, 29 plus water, almost five hours between prep and cook, and makes 12 servings, which looks like how much that bowl is. I want to try this sometime, but I'm the only one in the house who likes mole, and I'd never eat through that much mole before it goes bad.

my grandma just makes the mole sauce and makes tamales de frijol negro with epazote so instead of chicken we drenched the tamal in mole! it’s the best!

The cookies are called Maria’s and they are the best with coffee

you know what? that mole is so delicious with chicken meat

I LOVE MOLE!

You are the best!!

Im so jelous, wish I was the one having that plate of mole. Looked so delicious

say "Memorable" again

Thank you.

JAJAJA the mom complaining like a typical mom about doing things ahead instead of that moment: "you should have told me!" "but I didn't know mom, until know!" "EITHER WAY, I COULD HAVE BOUGHT EVERYTHING ALREADY" jajajaja oww #moms

5 hours? "farmer life"

la diferencia entre el mole negro oaxaqueno y el poblano es el ajonjoli arriba del mole nosotros lo tostamos y molemos no lo ponemos arriba bonito video anyway

Aaah yeah right, $5, I think she was too kind, thats not the price.

Awww they’re so humble and they’re all so happy to cook for him and his crew. This was beautiful.

when you see theopen fire cooker the stone grinder everything is done by hand that has to make you think do you apprecate what you hav? what if you had to live like them where there are no stoves food processos all the stuff we DO have is taken for granted

those are pecans, not walnuts

Omg , Can she share the recipe pleaseeeee

mole mole mole

Love it. I watch this when i get home sick. Thanx

Hey anyone know why the chiken is yellowish. Since i was little i always wondered why the mexican chicken was yellow

When a plate of chipotle is more expensive than this delicious mole made from scratch

Next time you make mole dish, you should make enmoladas: soft taco with chicken inside, then lots and lots and lots of mole outside (almost drowning the tacos completely), then shreeded chihuahua cheese (or gouda or manchego cheese) and little slices of fresh onion on top. Just remember to prepare your mole sauce mixing some mole paste in chicken broth. hahahaha one last comment: you're a real mexican when you just mix EVERYTHING on a taco. The rice with mole... yes! we love that.

I had to stop when the faces just got too much. Over exaggerating

You literally have the best job in the world in my opinion !

those bisquits are traditionally called "galletas marías" (because of the original brand that makes them) and they're like animal cookies. Platano macho (its not a regular banana, but a more ... acid one). And another big difference is that if you see a dark skin platano macho doesn't means it's expired. It's a perfectly good platano macho.

You have the most vlog-able face I have ever seen.

hahahaha at minute 3:29 the driver's mom is nagging or complaining him: "you should have told me! I'd would have bought all the things yesterday" and the full-grown son saying "but I didn't know!"

This is so Beautiful!! Ive never been to Mexico. My homeland. LA is where ive been for so long. Hopefully the next year will bring me to my motherland. Thank u for taking risks and showing us truth.

jajajaja el mandil del partido político. Claaaaassic

I NEED MOLE!

it's Tamal not "tamale"

This guy eats Mexican food in such a correct manner, thats how you do it.

You hit a Gold Mine!!! Looks so Good!! I would love to try that.

I died at 3:25!!! The mom reminded me of my mom.

Thank you very much! Amazing video.

You can hear the mom telling the driver "why didn't you tell me yesterday, I could have gone to the market already" Typical mom.

se ve tan ricoo, creo que la cocina mexicana es una de las mejores en todo el mundo es rica en todo mistica.

loved it wish there was some real Mexican restaurants in Boston to try this awesome dish.

Try Bermuda!

That looked delicious.

This mole looks amazing

While theres people who would love to have a fancy car and a huge house I would love to live there....México its amazing

I think the secret to your success as food, travel blogger....is how grateful you are! Your faith, gratefulness and spirit comes across in every video! When I found your channel, it was like a gift. I too, have always enjoyed food, traveling and enjoying new experiences. I can't wait to see what young Micah becomes, due to how his parents are raising him! Kudos to you all!

Truly beautiful video Mark! I have been watching your videos throughout Asia and loved them. But seeing you visit my home country brought a tear to my eye. Great stuff!! :)

No me gusta el mole :c

Beautiful food, beautiful people. Thank you, Mark!

Oh wow! Mother used to make this Mole recipe

You must visit Villanueva Zacatecas, A beautiful colonial town established since 1400's. Villanueva is known for their kind people also because our late charro singer and movie star Antonio Aguilar was born there. A trip to Pollos rostisados Don Juan, (The owner is Luis Alberto De Santiago Galvez) is well worth the trip. They have been roasting pollos for well over 30 years. one of the secrets is that they use several types of wood brought from la cierra. A MUST GO VISIT DURING THE OCTOBER FESTIVAL. When all the town SE PONEN DE MANTELES LARGOS to serve Their BEST dishes. Can't miss la feria de la torta. People from other towns go and make their tortas hopping to be picked as the best. I am hungry now, gotta go! LOVE MY MEXICAN FOOD! viva Mexico! COMO MEXICO NO HAY DOS!!

Pimiento looked a bit like allspice.

Is the host Mormon? He has that happy-clappy Mormon demeanor that's hard to describe but easy to recognize.

Fantastic video and wonderfully charming folks. I'm curious; why is the chicken at the market yellow?

Up until I subscribed to your channel, there was only one other foodie that I use to watch. You are so much fun to watch; you savor your food with such an intensity and that smile of yours is so heartwarming. Check out this other guy : https://youtu.be/jcMhRGBm_ww You remind me of him.

In the US they sell Sona Maria with a few added ingredients and a Mexican to assist you you can make this incrible dish....Great video!

Mark, i am so sure u are an Spiritual angle that has the wonderful energy to show the most amazing food........Are U also Mexican because i heard u speak Spanish.........I have subscribe for you videos and following u. We will live for 6 months in Mexico and when we retire we will find a lot of things we love......Namaste

Omg when he starts talking about how different the food is from the standard mole I started laughing

Everything was good until you started eating grasshopper

You can tell he is genuinely sooo excited. this puts a smile on my face. With what the trump administration and everything going on in the US right now.

Me encanta tus videos Mark! Buen trabajo y muchas gracias. Prefiero un viajecito así con la gente común en lugar de un resort. Me gusta mucho la gente mexicana (me casé con una más de hace 30 años) y las comidas.

What an amazing family to open up their beautiful home to you all.

Why did you cut up your tamale like that.

5 pesos for that drink? My family is for Mexico and I’ve never herd of that. I nEED to try that

He always makes the same face lmaooo

This is more than food. Thank you for showing us the culture!

I’d like to try mole, looks like a great dish

My first three trips to Mexico were to Oaxaca. I absolutely fell in love with the people and the cuisine. I lived in the city with a family whose mother was Zapoteca and was a famous cook; they had recently opened a restaurant. They had property in the mountains also where they had extensive vegetable and flower gardens and operated a temescal (steam bath). This video is tremendously nostalgic for me. Thank you.

I’m Hispanic and mole is one of my favorite foods!!

Wow, Mark, you’re a beautiful soul. This is the first video of yours I’ve seen, yet I feel the humanity through your voice and see it in your eyes. I want to travel myself- with the primary goals of meeting other people. I have not gone outside of my home country yet, but I have my first international trip planned for India in November. I cannot wait! Once I leave, I know my feet will never settle again.

Fried biscuits AND fried buns in a same dish? I'M LIKING THIS ALREADY!!!!!

I’m homesick now. Thank you. Blessings!!!

I went there☺

Se pasó con este video Mark... neta que se me hizo agua la boca!!!... aparte que es de los influencers que mejor retratan, admiran y resaltan la cultura de los lugares que visita, así como lo puedes ver comiendo con la mano en Africa platillos populares, lo puedes ver comiendo cortes Kobe, pero disfrutando a tope, pero me encanta que busca hogares locales para convivir con la gente local, y sobre todo familias humildes, porque el sabe que ahí esta la comida mas sabrosa, y la verdadera comida tradicional del lugar, bien por Él y su familia

You are Unbelievable young man with Great natural talent I visited Mexico but I did not have your Awesome experience

The green tomatoes are called tomatillos

Need to show this to my mom she’s using mole in a cup ._.

My husband is from Santiago Minas Oaxaca awesome mole lol and the toasted seasoned grasshoppers I love the queso duro de Oaxaca

Incredible video! ♡

coco

A J umm no..

this looks so good especially the mole with the grasshoppers SO JEALOUS

we need more women like that mom in this world

Amazing video. Congratulations.

To be honest all your videos make me hungry and the thing is that I watch them at night time and there’s no stores opened to get food

I love chocolate chicken but mole seems exotic in flavors ur expressions makes us hungry back in SA wud love to know what black dried chilli was used I didn't see it in our markets back here though

OMG I'm so jealous. I'm from Mexico but I haven't had the chance of going to Oaxaca. Love Oaxaca

i'm mexican and i've been eating mole for years and i can really tell that each time it's a unique and amazing experience, cause each person has like their very own way of cooking it. so there are not two moles alike. so for every person to ever visit mexico, trying mole its a must.

What a great show!!

NEGRO STEW

Wow, Mark can speak some Spanish as well? Awesome man! One of the few foodie vloggers that I truly respect.

La señora regañando al hijo por no haberle avisado antes. Típico XD

My mom just gets the mole mix from the store lol

I could have mole everyday if i want thank god im mexican

Ive always desired for someone like this woman to show me how to cook.

My favorite

You are one of a kind and blessed to have a good stomach because some of the foods look quite hot spicy

The plate was spotless at the end..haha

I love how respectfull you are unlike rick bayless. Thank you!

❤MOLE❤

Que honor estar en su mesa de la Familia.. ..

I I.

oh NO it was all good till the grasshoppers.... smh

QUÉ delicia!! It looks delicious !!! Thank you

Those look more like Crickets the hoppers.

The way he spoke Spanish words, the way his face kind of twitches, the over tightened half smile, the straining of facial and neck muscles all put me off. I couldn’t finish lmao

Wow!!! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful experience. I will be traveling to Mexico City and maybe checking out other neatly by towns in November. I know I won’t be as lucky as you where we could have this home cooked mole but where could I find delicious moles? It will be my first time trying it. Thank you.

You had me until the grasshoppers..

You know the moles good when you use the tortilla 2 clean the sauce off the plate YUMMM

such a beautiful family ☹❤❤❤

Looks so good. Would love to try

Please don’t look at the camera in that way when you eat it creeps me the hell out

This is the real Mexican food. Not the concept they have before the world, of the whole breaded food. On the contrary, there is a great variety of dishes, all of them, cooked in different ways.

idk but this looks like satay sauce

Palmetto berries or commonly known as all spice berries

Mark's best video so far... i love this video so much, what a warm people there. Thanks Mark, keep filming..

People here is the US would freak out at that market with the woman mixing with her hand and arm, chicken laying out in the open. This doesn’t bother me.

I always though that mole was well known around because my mom always makes it often

14:25 is All Spice (Pimienta) mostly use by Europeans for pickling meat to add taste. It was not a spice for pickling but later was adopted in pickling salted meat.

Those tamales weren't for you Mark actually they were for Ofelia/the grandma cooking for you dad she was going to go visit him but since you came they gave them to you

12:02 you know it’s about to get good!

Your videos are really cool, and the food looks awesome, but the way you always have this smile makes me feel a little uneasy

Chapulines are really good with onions and lime on a corn tortilla

something about this FEELS AFRICAN. not the ingredients but the "everything in one pot" thing. even here 3:42

Looks delicious but why do they use vegetable oil, almonds and walnuts? They are high in omega 6 fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids which are directly linked with inflammation and the diseases/deffects it causes. People think cholesterol and saturated fat are what cause heart attacks and clog arteries, but little do they know its actually the vegetable oil that has only been popular for around 20 years. Never before in history was there the mass processing of oils from small seeds and grains. I'm sure the first molé didn't have vegetable oil in it, and i understand that this was the lady's own unique recipe, but all I'm saying is it's less healthy and less indigenous than classic molé. Vegetable oil along with Coke, processed sugar, and other extremely unhealthy, popular food items are one of the many ways American capitalism has ruined Mexico. Its even penetrated deep into the land and made its way into old, classic recipes like molé. It's the Jews who funded the colonization of America, the concentration of Europeans into massive cities, the anti-nature Christianity religion, the trans-atlantic slave trade, all the way up to wall street, hollywood, coca cola, and other gigantic food corporations that make junk foods. And I blame them for the state that Mexico is in today

Love this guy so positive n smiley xxxxd

This goes hard

You gotta love mexico

Looks good

mmmm. looks so delicious.. makes me want to eat Mexican Food today. lol

What a beautiful country and even more beautiful, kind people! As an Indian, I see quite some similarities visually but I am sure Mexico holds much more than what we can see. It's my dream to visit this lovely country and meet the amazing people there. The people seem so homely, down to earth and full of love❤️

I am proud of you Mark. I have been following you for a while and your content and editing skills is amazing.

I love you.... Except the reaction ou give when you put food into your mouth.....

Wow, I’m from Mexico but I’ve never visited. Your video makes me really want to go one day - also, my family love mole but I’ve personally never liked it — then again, my personal tastes in terms of food are quite bland LOL I’m still willing to try it though, ‘cause now that I’ve seen how it’s made I will be looking for these flavors. Up until now I’ve never known just what goes into making mole, I’ve always just known it includes chocolate but wow, I really had no clue what else it had

is it just me or do all youtube travellers speak the same way? like, it sounds like they're enunciating every word, and their voices all sound like it's still transitioning from a tweener's voice to a man's voice?

There are no green tomatoes they are tomatillos

The other Herb is thyme

In that “pepper” is actually all spice

I’ve lived in Texas my entire life and I’m 100% sure that she fried pecans not walnuts

Loved the goat herder @ 21:48

Of all your videos this is my favorite...brings back so many memories. thank you

Man My Grandma Mole is Better

I loved every part of their culture in this video

I couldn’t stop smiling throughout the whole video. I love the authenticity and rawness of the whole thing. Really makes me want to explore my Mexican and Spanish cultures more. And try mole!

Is the taste of mole describable in words?

This was really nice... thankyou

I like you ur awesome

Wonderful kind people, so humble and beautiful culture.

This guys freakish facial expressions like he’s the the leader of a cult or something

ummmhhh ummmmmh!

Mole is my favorite.. we make it all the time

Mark I live in Brownsville TX. right at the border of Mexico and I eaten mole many times in Matamoros Mexico, and never seen the mole you ate. It looks and I'm sure it's delicious.

She put plantain in it? Ummm lol

Look a minion when speak in spanish lol. Nice video!

I love chocolate and this video is the best I ever watch. All traditional food. Looks so awesome and beautiful people.

Que riquísimo, me encanta el mole. Pero creo que esa familia de Oaxaca ufff cocina extraordinariamente delicioso

Every mexican mom ❤️

Geesh I want to be there enjoying that. Yum!

Who you callin a negro?!

Excelente video me a gustado mucho yo soy de oaxaca mi mama de tlacolula me da mucho gusto que te guste nuestra comida

I don't know where to begin, what with your big heart that see the world so beautiful or your wonderful way with everyone that comes your way. Mark, you are blessed with the gift of love that resonates where ever you go. Your love of people and food is so exciting to be apart of that I have a smile on my face from beginning to end. You bring much joy to this world. God Bless. P.S. The grasshoppers would be something I would have tried along with the wonderful mole'. Delicious!

I love me some Mole!

*Moleeeee*

why would ANYONE even unlike this vdo? whats to unlike?

Great video! Such wonderful hospitality!! :) I wish there were subtitles for the family, since you ask them questions but do not tell us the answers.

If you don't find all the ingredients at your local store, just go to the market and get a jar of mole "Doña María" :D

I Envy this adventure so memorable and so fascinating damn hoping to taste some of those delicious food someday thanks mark!

hate your face, love your voice and your videos are always great^^

YOOO but did yall see how Abuelita was rocking them Cortez’s while making the mole thooooo

Sickening to see those goats with their front legs tied together. Im sure theyre forced to walk miles to find green pastures. Damn savages.

Mole might be one of the least appetizing looking foods out there but actually is one of the best Mexican dishes you can get.

nice videos...come to Ecuadooor !! we have a delicius exotic and unique food and places!!

I appreciate how you’re not scared to eat anything. I don’t know if I could bring myself to eat those chapulines. Probably the only way I could is if they were in something delicious and I didn’t know. As long as it tastes good, no problem lol.

The lady stirring with her arm! Lol that was so funny, unexpected, and cute.

Mole, one of my favorite foods.

I absolutely loved this video...

I did this part of Mexico twenty-five years ago. Mexicans are awesome. So is mole. I am surprised you needed to do this. There were so many Zopotec women selling their cooking in informal sit down restaurants I cant imagine eating anywhere else!

Seriously the longer I watch this the more his face bothers me.....

His face is constantly so tense.

man i almost cry when you did the first-mole bite amazing video. thank you for sharing and the way you present and talk it show your passion for doing this. keep it up.

Did anyone see a microwave there? Even with this basic lifestyle the US has a much higher suicide rate than other 3rd world countries, even worse unhappy rich cunts go to the trouble to shoot people from a hotel.

The pimienta you saw is called allspice in English.

If white Americans had mexican guests at their home, they would offer them only a cup of coffee.

I immediately subscribed ! Watching this video made me so proud of my roots

I love this guy’s enthusiasm and appreciation for this dish and culture. He feels so genuinely thankful for each little part of this experience.

I'm fascinated by the amount of preparation they put into there meals. Completely made with love and passion!

So beautiful

Wow! What a beautiful experience.

I really enjoy watching your videos!

Mi comida favorita Mole ❤️

Let’s hope you paid this family because you will be making money off their backs word on the street is you and your wife live in a mansion with all the fine things life can offer!!

This was a beauty thanks for the video

nostalgia just keeps hitting me

I remember I went to Hierve El Agua and I almost felt from the mountain

i wouldnt have the first clue on where to find it, but i want some now!

It isn't made from scratch if you got all the ingredients

I may be late for this comment, but "chabacano", the plums, are dried apricots. Love the vid!

Mexican food is easily the best food in the world.

Such a beautiful country and beautiful culture

Mark I love your work, thank you! Can you tell us how you give back to the families that take the time to do this for you and us?

Great video, thank you so much! Not sure if anyone else has commented on these, but here are the ingredients you couldn't identify: 12:42 - pecans, not walnuts 14:40 - whole allspice, not peppercorns 16:45 - I believe the herb is thyme 17:45 - Yerba Santa/Hoja Santa aka "root beer plant" Piper auritum (sometimes other plants go by that common name) What an amazing day you had!!

I am amazed that you try everything. Have you ever got sick ? I am Mexican and I can see myself getting sick with a few of those LOL love your Chanel. Just found it tonight and watched already 3. Your show is as good as Bourdain’s shows :)

I want to go back home

Gringo me gusta tu blogs

I give the immigrants rides in my area, I have had the best mole of my life due to this gentle peoples generosity!!!

this guy molest's crayons... do not allow him near food nor third world countries... or children in any country... lol

blender... lol

The most beautiful thing was., that he was able to feed the whole little village., they will have mole paste, for a two months.!!!

I mexican and dont get mad at me but I dont like mole

Eating mole while watching this

633 Vegans disliked this video

I love mole too! Could eat it everyday! So happy to have a full Mexican woman.

What a gracious lady. Que bellisma mujer.

4:52 Why is the chicken skin so yellow? Was in left in some sort of turmeric brine, or are Oaxaca chickens naturally that color?

Dude... is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STONED! LMAO

14:35 pretty sure that's allspice

Green tomatoes are called "tomatillo" not green tomatoes

I hope he paid her for all that hard work lol man!!

Que mole de chocolate ni que mis huevos son tus ojos

A lot of heart and soul went into that meal! ..... so jealous right now. Glad you were able to enjoy

Mexico is the best and Oaxaca is just incredible. Great food and some of the warmest people I've ever met.

Lol the guide's mom scolds him for not telling him beforehand at 3:00.

I very surprised you can speak spanish as well awesome

You’ve a lovely, and bubbly personality. Your facial expressions make me want to watch your videos alone. God Bless.

3:30 "-Ayer me hubieras dicho ya hubiera ido a comprar todo/ You should have told me yesterday, so today I've already had gone to buy everything -Pues sí pero yo no sabía / Of course but I didn't know (that a stranger would ask me to cook mole)" That is such a thing of mexican moms

Man u made me tear up!! Mesmerizing about my grandma making mole just like this. Proud oaxacan!!!

My Grandma was the only person that made the best Mole ever. She would use dryed tortillas and animal cookies (plan bread cookies)

Holy mole

Mark! You missed them add in the chocolate???!!! How could you??? Smh... Mouth-watering video. What a painstakingly-built, ancient comfort food.

This meal looks and sounds incredibly delicious!

Sooooo mouthwatering. Wish i was there!!

first time i see frying cookie

He looks high af, is he a stoner

It was raisins. There was raisins in the bread

Is there anyway you can put subtitle when they speak a different language?

I wish he would dial back the enthusiasm...comes off a bit cringy and fake

How do you sound so kind and enthusiastic all the time? Is that your real personality all the time? And if so good for you man you seem like a really happy guy.

Seeing you enjoy our food fills my heart with joy! I was smiling the entire video because your reactions to our food are everything! You understand why we hype up our food so much! A little nostalgic because I haven’t been to Mexico in almost 8 years

Walnuts or pecans? The bread has raisins.

Beautiful dish, your face is too close to camera... :)

me encanta el mole es un platillo que va pasando de generación en generación que delicioso

P.S. you are such an American Mexican lol but I love it.

AND THE RECIPE?

Looks incredible! What a special lady to prepare all that food and mole for you. Who pays for all the ingredients?

It’s loook soooo yummy I invite you to my county “Mauritania” ❤️❤️

I hope you pay these people that you are exploiting in the video, thats how most foreigners are warm and inviting, some people should take note.

Omg I am happy that you were on my recommendations listing today, that sauce and chicken looks delicious but I am not to sure about the grasshoppers, I could always leave them out. So I love it so much that I have subscribed to your channel. Hi from the UK

This was the best troductions to food i have ever seen. Seeing it from scratch and in one of its native countries

#4: Find a grandmother or a *Aunty* to cook some mole... For some reason I found that funny

I want to try some REAL mole, I have never tried the store-bought stuff because somehow premade-mex food is NEVER as decent as half-brained other foods. Canned tamales? HATE them! home made? can't get enough. I will never buy store-bought mole, but I won't try to cook it without help and also will not try for only myself.

nutty lol

Sorri bro but thers nothing european about this dish its straight mexican azteca dish made by real people my people.but i appreciate what u do.Ancient mexican food iz da best n the world.anibodi that would disagree iz because they never had it

Molé Cow! That looks great!

thans for share i love mole is one of my favorites food of Mexico all food from Mexico is very good

falto el arrocito perras

They made mole (which I have no doubt is deeeelicious) but its mole... not mystery. The host is a bit much

how many languages does he know lol

You had me until the grasshoppers!

they definitely shared some of that mota with him ;)

Mexican culture is amazing. If you need it or ask for it they'll open their house to you, feed you, and do everything in their power to make you happy even if you're a stranger.

Also I cherish your respect for different people and their cultures

Mark, all your videos I have seen look so Awsome and your face expressions are pricless you make the food look so good and full of taste keep it up real good!!!!

So did he hire them to do that?

Dios! Que rico!! Thank you Mark for this video! My mom was from Oaxaca & to get a lady to give up her recipe is amazing!! Soo much work & SOOO nice of you to pick to do this :) I just subscribed as Im so impressed - greetings from NEOhio

Mark, Im just out of words. Looking at you being so amazed and respectful at our culture... Its amazing. I still remember my great grandmother making mole from scratch

Wow your face must be killing you....you never stopped smiling throughout that whole video. True story

Does mole vary from family to family? Reminds me of Korean kimchi but that varies a LOT from one place to another.

Those look like pecans not walnuts

Where can I get the full recipe and steps?

your accent makes me wanna smack fire out of you

Love the video. My mom used to make it although she was from the state of J alisco known more for the "Birria" among other national dishes. The black peppers that you were referring to I believe were "All spice" in Spanish called "Pimientos dulces" which does not originate in Europe which many believe but either from the Mexican east coast like Veracruz close to Puebla or somewhere in the Caribbean. I've been trying to make a really good one for almost 40 years and yet need to succeed.

Me encanta de Oaxaca. Viva Mexico, el mole y los Zapatecos!

Mark l'm mexican, the video is amazing, mi grandmother made the Mole like this Family, I was stonished with your video.

My mouth is watering for that mole

Awesome trip. I’m jealous!! Thx for sharing.

Nunca en tu vida le vuelvas a poner salsa al mole... Eso es una grosería, es pecado.

I love mole! I love it more con arroz!

I just stumbled across this, nice presentation and very interesting video!

The Food Ranger brought me here, totally subscribed

Great video my brotha

The mother telling her son crap and who was she telling stupid to ?? The ride to the market ha ha ha

OMG ! your diction is perfect! I can undestand all that you say! :)

Frying almonds and walnuts you've got my attention. My goodness that's just the best recipe i'm salivating before the product is complete...

Lol I'm mexican and making mole is one of the hardest things to make if you dont know the ingredients by heart

3:25 the mom is actually saying: "If you had told me yesterday I would have bought it myself", and her son (the driver said) Me myself didn't know this was going to happen

WOW! That was just AWESOME!!! Thanks for sharing that experience with us. I always thought I knew how to make a pretty tasty MOLE, but after watching this video, I realize that my home made MOLE needs some serious re-working. Mine is more of an generic imitation. I will have to try this version of MOLE negro. I too want to experience the bliss of such a complex flavor palette. Again, thanks for sharing your rich and flavorful gastronomic experience! ¡Saludos!

amazing food and amazing​ people!!

A little bit of fake smile acting, but I agree the educational spirit can be found in this video. However, I disliked video because I feel the guy in it is acting instead of realy enjoying the experience.

That Market is amazing...the veggies are making me drool-the meal was already going to be good from the start!

I man on my list of things to do am I the only one that has red rice with my mole and purple onions in lime juice?

La comida mexicana es la mejor!!

Watching this was beautiful! Everything done by hand, by hard word, by WOMEN! I bet that tastes full of love! I'm ready to move there

Why in the thumbnail the mother look like she swimming in mole

What happened to the corandas

Dying for Mark to describe the flavor....what does it like

Mole ain’t mysterious

Great video! FYI, These were not walnuts she threw in the oil. It’s Pecan nuts. And as for the peppercorns - I think (not sure though) these were Allspice

I am Mexican, Like if you are to

“This is some kind of peppercorns”... it’s actually whole allspice. The “green tomatoes” are not tomatoes- they are tomatillos. I hope this woman was paid for this- incredible effort to make such a beautiful dish.

Wouldn’t it be a fair assumption that he did? I assumed so...

You are too funny. Grasshoppers with mole.. oh and a scorpian in El DF! You blew my mind at how dareing you are. Love it! Yes you bumped into a lovely hospitable family. Gotta luv ya! Thumbs up to you!

Oh my gosh ! I think I love you! Haha you are just so knowledgeable!? Daring! You eat whole chiles. Made my mouth water! And yes Mole negro is just one of my favorite dishes. The aroma is beautiful. Ah you must have had a lovely time with this family. Wow traditional mole. : ) Everyone has to try mole at its best! All by scratch! Happy happily travels! Jeez you are ao passionate! (Waves Hello Goodbye) Best of fortunes!

Ese mole se ve delicioso!!!

Patano lol the cutest sound ever

That looks so fantastic. I just want a taste through my screen...

I can’t believe I watched the whole episode. It was very entertaining even for me that I have an idea of how it’s made. Another fact about mole is that it tastes better as it gets older.

I love seeing my country in these types of videos. It’s something I always talk about here in California. Mexico is more than what you see in the news and the people are the most friendly. We love our food and feel proud of it.

(speaking in foreign language) I wonder what this foreign language could possibly be

Mark was lost in the sauce

Mexico looks beautiful

Such a blessing to share food and culture with one another

You gotta go to El Salvador and try them pupusas

Just so you know the plural word is Tamales, you say tamale for a single one when the actual word is Tamal for just a single and tamales for more than one.

thank you for visiting my beautiful state that is full of gastronomy culture beautiful people people like you are all welcome you have a new susbcritor oaxaca

Mark, I love how humble you are. You are not afraid to dive in and experience the different cultures around the world. You appreciate everything, even the little things. So much love for you and your family. ❤ Much respect to you.

Hahaha so awkward in some takes

This is awesome!

This man putting Oaxaca on the map.... SUBSCIRBE.

Wow!! What an awesome video. All natural ingredients, thank you

I'm european. I would love to visit Mexico omg. So rich in culture

You know you made an outstanding food video and a great showcase of Mole when there’s no comments about Mark eating bugs.

Those were not green tomatoes. Those were tomatillos I think.

Me quedo pensando en los contrastes de la vida en el mundo que hizo Dios. Por un lado vemos a gente degustar comidas dignas de poner en la mesa de cualquier rey o experto culinario y por otro lado personas con demasiado dinero y que por alguna enfermedad o padecimiento no pueden disfrutar de algunas delicias como estas. O igualmente en el sentido de convivencia. Cuantos disfrutamos enormemente el reunirnos con la familia aunque sea solo con un cafecito y cuantos otros por tener odio en el corazon o por trabajar demasiado no disfrutan de estas pequeñas cosas pero tan significativas y entrañables. Valoremos cada dia lo que tenemos agradeciendo a Dios siempre.

God bless you for giving you such a great loving heart. Thank you for sharing this. My family all love my homemade Mole, it's amazing how the next generation is also enjoying great homemade Mole. I also do mine from scratch, but I never used the platains before, I might have to add that. I also sautee my onions and garlic, but this charred looks yummy too.

I am extremely impressed with your ability to be so open to new experiences. You so graciously absorb the culture and cuisine of all people in all areas. I love watching your videos. By far, this video captures the beauty of the Oaxacan people and of course the complexity of mole. It’s an act of love in a sense. Made from fresh ingredients and all by hand. This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing the experience with us.

Oh man, my mama made this mole one time and it was amazingly delicious! I helped her make it, and I was surprised by all the ingredients it required to make it. It does contain bread, but my mom made it with wheat bread She also put in cinnamon, pumpkin seeds, almonds, walnuts, chilis, a corn tortilla, 1 tablet of mexican "abuelita" hot chocolate, and many more ingredients but I cant remember. What I do remember is that she fried the walnuts, the pumpkin seeds, almonds and I believe the cinnamon too, and other stuff but I can't remember exactly. At the end, when the mole was ready and I tasted, I was surprised that it wasn't sweet at all which I thought it would be because of the chocolate tablet. Over all, It was very delicious.

I love that you depict Mexico in it's essence. Mexico is beautiful with such hospital people, and the media ruins that for them.

I’ve never had mole from scratch

Just imagined the son asking his mom to make mole. " Ma, pudes hacer mole para mi amigo porfa" and then his mom responds "Pinche wache, ya te hice mole para el otro bolillo que tenias. Me vas a comprar las cosas porque yo no voy a usar ningun pinche peso de mi bolsillo. Ya tienes 24 años, tu puedes comprarle comida a tus amigos!" then he turns to Mark with a tear coming out "Yeah, she'll make it for us."

Wow that is so amazing mark

Damn, Mexicans know their food! First-time viewer, loved this video all the way and your excitement is contagious!

Very humble n down to earth person

I'm assuming the "starchy" drink you were consuming was a type of atole.

I'm Mexican and love trying new food but you ain't ever gonna catch me eating grasshoppers... omg.. I run away from them when they're alive cant imagine voluntary putting them into my mouth lol

Its 2:15 am.. why am I torturing my self?!

Your smile is contagious. I love how proud and eager they were to make this for you. Con mucho amor.

That looks Bomb.!!

Is it just me or is his reaction the same for every food in every video

Bro I Effinnn love this episode...wish I could get some real mole besides the store bought ishh. BTW I will destroy some grasshoppers!!

watchin this just made me smile, such a fun experience preparing this

How can I buy a jar of that mole paste!!!!!!!!!! Omg this looks so delicious!!!!! I'm drooling right now haha

I get so hungry watching you XD

They and you are very humble i loved this video❤️

Those are that best days when you don't make plans god set that right people on the right spa

TIL Mark is Asian

Mexicans are hell with them knives and machetes

I think the pepper looking thing was allspice Mark! AKA the famous pimento of Jamaican jerk cookery AKA pimienta de jamaica!!!! LOVE UR CHANNEL! Maybe C U over there lol 1 love

Omg!! That looks so good!!

i can't believe Grasshoppers can be fantastic. i just can't.

I'm very happy that you're tasting and enjoying Mexican cuisine... I dont know if I would consider Mole a stew... it's more like a sauce... keep up your good work...

15:49 the raisin absorbed the oil, what we see here is a fructosis-trans fat bomb (hearth attack included)

I really wanted to see the chocolate added in

You are the best on bussines man... go to Ensenada Baja Mexico, try the fish tacos and lobsters from there.. small and beautiful port..

I do wish we had some translation for the Spanish speaking, mine is too bad to understand most of the conversation. Thanks for the video, the food looks great and it seems like it was a wonderful experience.

Sadly I can only understand the food ordering by Mark. Lol

TRUTH OR DARE

The voice of Javier's mom sounds very similar to my grandmother

I'm smiling all the way to the end of the video. Mexico reminds me of my country Philippines, feels like they are sister countries our cultures are so alike.

If we would only prepare those foods without having to sacrifice other 'people' in the process... without the slaughtering of innocent animals and insects. Crazy world we live in.

Mexicans are Native Americans. So sad they lost most of their culture and language.

What a beautiful video

I immediately felt comfortable when they greeted the family it reminded me of summers in Mexico going to my grandmas house and aunts houses.

I hope they paid the woman

Wait You are asian?!

¡Moooleeee!

This just melted my hart. A family happily took strangers into there home and cooked for them.

Jajajaj you mix all wow i naver see That

We make ours from scratch too. But it's made with Peanut butter the creamy kind. I've never had it with Chocolate though.

Wow

Yum!

amazing vid man, thanks for it

Everyone in Mexico is so generous. They can literally know you for about two seconds and they'll already be feeding you and making you feel like home. I love Mexico.

How many languages does he speak?!

And now I’m hungry

Oh Mark that is my favorite dish. It really is amazing, I am so happy that You Like it so much. Congrats for your channel! I am a fan

algun dia lo hare asi, porque yo nomas lo compro ya hecho en la tienda para calentarlo jajaja

Me suscribí porque de verdad parece que le gusto la comida mexicana

Very interesting! Do them a favor and buy her a really nice cutting board as that homemade thing could use a retirement!

After watching several videos in this series, I'm falling in love with Mexico! I've been a couple of times, but just to a couple of border cities. And I was really digging the mole until you added the grasshoppers. Thank you to your driver, his family, to you and your family Mark and everyone else involved in the preparation of this great mole feast! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this (while sipping on a cup of coffee). Delightful!

I was starving when you were eating. Enjoyed it!

Those are pecans, not Walnuts....

I was thinking at the beginning literally before he said anything, that the van driver’s mom would make it

Loving your food videos Mark with your family. Would love to see you go to Jamaica and try out the food there

I don't think Mark Wiens has had a bad day. Always with a smile.

I'm 14 that girl is beautiful

Now what do I do? The chances of my eating this Mole is slim to none, and my mouth is watering.

My mom makes mole from scratch, she spends 4-5 hours in the kitchen, and it is so good. I've never tasted the store bought mole because it would never compare to my mom's.

Tengo hambre

I love how wonderful these videos are. I love how wonderful you all are in the comment section.

Buen video :3 se me antojo tanto el mole que mañana voy a preparar xD

3:20 a classic Mexican mom nagging her kid lol Amazing video, love how respectful you were to Mexican cutlure. Regards from Mexico. Also, "mole" is any sauce that is a complete dish on its own, unlike salsa which is a condiment. Mole comes from molli- sauce. There are many types of mole across Mexico.

That looks like real chicken, unlike the crap here in the U.S.

you always look happy

this guys stare at the camera is so intense it freaks me out lol

I ABSOLUTELY ENJOYED WATCHING THIS VDEO OF THE WAY THEY MAKE MOLE NEGRO FROM SCRATCH .IT BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL AND WHEN MY MAMA USE TO MAKE IT .SUCH A WONDERFUL MEMORY OF LONG TIME AGO IN 1944 .THANK YOU SO MUCH .

I LOVE this video! Seeing how hard they worked to prepare such an amazing and delicious meal...outstanding! I love molé and make it at least once a month, but I take shortcuts...lol! I would love to make it from scratch.

Que barbaridad de video...sensacional, el mole se ve como lo hacia mi abuelita Lupe, y la mama de mi amiga Elsa y ella misma...que experiemcia tan agradable...Gracias por compartir..

Awesome

Mole negro has nothin european about it. It is indigenous Zapoteca cultura.

this is my favorite food nothing compares

why does he eat like that doe why doe

Lol, a beautiful house. Riiiiiight.

Wow talk about a future heart attack anything fried is bound too be good tho i would love to try this tho i bet its incredible

THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR EXALT OUR COUNTRY, CULTURE AND WHAT WE LOVE MORE OUR PEOPLE AND FOOD! Thank you for coming and trying all ! without prejudice

That was a nice family to take a whole day out to make this for us to see!!

Your awesome man. Wish i could do stuff like this ive never been able too leave West Virginia. Only once i went to folly beach in nc

Gross

Damn I really wanna try grasshoppers now

Grasshopper in your Mole? ? ? good sir, you might be into something.

350. BH. CHASE. BANK. BH

"Some type of pepper that I've never been before" is whole allspice berries.

Who pronounces it meMOREable? A robot, I’d say. Or a spy.

I love your video great positive vibe awesome always be positive

Is there ANYTHING he doesnt like at all?

Citlali Estrella no. The wooden one with nails holding it together. What cook wouldn't love a nice new oak cutting board as a gift thanking her for her help and feeding him and crew!

rolloverriderpgr did you mean a cutting board would reemplace a volcanic rock that last for years even decades with no moho?

Your appreciation for the whole culture and your enthusiasm to learn about all of this is very fascinating.

Dam Mark you are sooooooooo lucky to be eating Real mole..Not many Mexican people even get to try Mole made from scratch bro...Thanks for the awesome video....

well done ..IM HUNGRY NOW !!!! loved the video I am def a fan now.

I think those big pepper corns are pimienta Jamaica ( allspice). Mexican ladies are the best cooks.

I envy youuuu! Hahah makes me miss my grandmas cooking !

I’m hungry

I have to say. Mole looks disgusting but tastes so good

I’m not sure what Oaxaca’s mole tastes like but I’m very interested. My parents still make chicken and mole at least once a week. I love it!

My aunts cook Oaxacan moles, I have yet to taste them, my mouth is watering

Did not know that they ate grasshoppers but very interesting.

they bought coca cola just to compete with pepsi

Loved how he respected and appreciated the culture!

mole doesn't have a really great taste, way overrated and earthy.

Great video ❤️❤️❤️❤️ love the way you express with so much joy. Thank you.

Watching this makes my mouth water

When you go to Mexico again I recommend you go to my home town Cotija, Michoacan during the last weeks of December. During the end of december the town is full of people and there is "la Feria del queso" which is a cotija cheese fair and they sell the famous cotija cheese produced in the cotija region and mescal which is popular. And if you go on a religious day you could even see a Castillo which is a giant firework display. It's a pretty small town but during the Feria it really is a cultural center.

I’m jealous. I want to visit Oaxaca and eat like this one day.

Ah, Green tomatoes. Tomatillos are great!

Ah yes...mole with rice is amazing

I like this style of video

I love how much do you immersed yourself in the culture in this video. It really shows that you appreciate and love the food that they're making.

Your facial expressions are funny haha love this video

Awsome looking meal ^-^

Molto interessante. Mi piace guardare i tuoi videi.

Your videos are truly amazing. Thank you for this.

I like how she's explaining the steps and ingredients to him and he's just like "ahhh" lol

im so jealous!! i lived in mexico for 8 years and mole is one of the best dishes ever!!! wish i had that recipe.

Ask Javier can I come to his house

I need this in my life

Se ve que el mole está delicioso!!!!!

This mole looks like MOLE POBLANO

Is this same from Puebla, MOLE POBLANO or is different??

6:26 i hear a fart! Wahahaha.. Good job!

Wtf? The most mysterious? EVERYONE KNOWS about Mole they even sale ready to serve mole in the US.

Mole is believed to have originated either in Puebla or Oaxaca, but all variations of mole throughout México are rich and delicious

This is a really good video! I wish I could have been there it looks delicious! I only have one problem. I think those were pecans not walnuts. Just something a Texan would notice.

Love your videos. I think I love them more for your attitude. Your smile is contagious. Love your simplicity and your style of interacting with all the people. You are so friendly and humble. Thank you for your videos. I am trying to watch all if them. Great job!

I love mole on chicken, but I'm sure it is nothing like the real thing. My brother in law is Oaxaca n.

Mole + salsa + chapulines = do not leave the bathroom all day LOL

I’ve always wanted to learn how to make mole is just so good

well before you tell me the whole story, I've been following you for quite a bit. however, I'm disappointed that you would call this a "stew"... WHAT is wrong with you dude!!! SMH

Like si hablas Español

Your manners, effort in pronouncing Spanish words correctly, and love for the cuisine and all else, are what made me subscribe just now

Such a simple guy. I love the part where you wiped your mouth with using your tshirt sleeve. No stress

Such a great video ! Thanks mark wiens!

By far one of the best videos I have seen all year. Great job editing sound was awesome

I saw thai word on the man who is wearing green shirts that's ไม่เผ็ด ไม่กิน( 14:47) Hmm im just wondering Have you guy ever been to thailand before ? i hope you come to visit Thailand and try some thai street Food . i do love your video n ur Chanel .

Hi i look delicious and family are very frenly

I so want to travel and taste exotic foods...I travel but its not exotic. We have Mole all over Texas, though.

What a wonderful thing to bring so many places to the people. Places and cultures some of us cannot afford to visit. Thanks to all involved. I treasure these videos. You are perfect for this.

All I have to say is... Thanks Mark.

you got a lot of the ingredient's names wrong but cool video.

it was fine until you started eating those roaches.....yuk and my familys from mexico...but that is tooo much hell no.

I want to eat that so bad..

Native American Mexicans are also Asian by DNA. There so much history.

the end got me weak...

Aaaagghh! !!11:52 pm and my mouth is watering wanted to have a bite of this delicious mole , this is torture! :DD :D

I love mole my favorite dish of all time!! Love this video.. great now am craving mole..

By the way every grandma in oaxaca make the best mole. Dont blive me? Ask a oaxaqueño

que bonito.

This guy’s smile and his expression when he talks makes me really uncomfortable

i wished to see and hear from everyone there but maybe they were shy eating and speaking. i am so hungry now.

Awesome dude!

so, is molé complex?

those are pecans not walnuts

now i must have tamales!

Yum! Looks amazing. Anything after that much preparation must taste incredible

it would be funny if mama said all these million ingredients are in the secret recipe and then she just snuck in a jar off the shelf of molè. and the pantry is full now. just kiddding. love this video!

that market is amazing

"memmoriable"

Nice, now off to taco bell i go

Like a mexican... Cleaning the plate with the tortilla

Oaxacan mole is overrated

12:32 - @Mark Wiens - Hi, those are pecans and not walnuts.

3:40 What gorgeous produce! Look at those mouthwatering avocados and tomatoes!

Mark, just need to say. Thanks for such an Awesome Channel. From Texas!

The excitement in your voice whenever you say Mole!

Bruh how do u not know Marias

Mi comida preferida

When I heard you say a local dudes mom was gonna make the mole I was like "oooohhh shhiiih it's going down"

And then its her adopted grandmoms' moms' recipe?! Im so jellyy

The cookies at 12:46 - 13:02 are called "Marie biscuits"

Dude, how many languages do you speak?

The way you pronounce "memorable" is funny

I like all of your videos but this one and an other when you went to an Omani village ..both are my most favourite.. this Mexican village landscape reminds me my Village in Chakwal Pakistan

Any chance as to getting the recipe ? :)

Are grasshoppers really that good??? Interesting.

There are many variations of mole depending on where you are in mexico and every family cooks it different in my home we cook the chicken in the mole but my favorite is mole pipian which is a more spicy mole but there all delicious im happy you loved it continue on your adventure thru food

Boi I’m hungry af rn

Mole de pollo con arroz, frijoles de la holla y tortillas!! lo puedo comer todos los días! Tamales de mole!! tengo hambre!!!

Is there any way of getting that recipe??? I have a outdoor kitchen I use to can my garden harvest and to make jams and jellies!!!! And have all the necessary tools to make this would love to have the recipe to bring a little culture to rural Ohio!!!

I like some Mexican food but mole is the worst my taste buds seem to reject all types of mole.

this video was beautiful! i just recently discovered your channel and like a mexican I have to say this video make fall again for my roots, and big thanks to Javier and also to you, you are a very respectful to the culture and people :) congrats! you got a new subscriber!!!

It must be so delicious but those fried grasshoppers bug just ruined my appetite :(

Mole negro Oaxaqueño

Isn't the "green tomato" a tomatillo?

I so envy you right now!!!! I want MOLE!!!!!!!

This really warmed my heart

OMG! SO MUCH OIL! IF THEY ATE THIS EVERYDAY THEY WOULD BE 600 lbs. disgusting!

Where are u from? U seem so surprised and unoledgable of the mexican culture! U speak "of sone kind of herb!" Come on! Just ask "The name of "the herb!" Otherwise y lwave peopke with all kinds of questions!

Mole poblano pendejo no mas wey

I live in México and I surely learned a lot from this video!!!! Thank you!! Regards from Guadalajara, Jal. :D

Woow that was a good experience , hope you enjoyed oaxaca. And i love how they help you to make the recipe in metate.

Love it up to a wedo to come up with that title

Someone was high on some good Mexican marijuana when they can up with that recipe lol "like hey bro I got the munchies what you got to eat ay ..... everything bro get the pot lol

This video made me inexcusably happy.

The whole time combined is enough to make 65 other recipes

Awwwww such beautiful place

God is so great he gave variations in food items according to region & rest culture & civilisation did miracles.im feeling happy to see her cooking

I grew up with my mom making food from scratch daily, morning to bedtime for years and years. That's on top of raising us kids, from getting us ready for school, cleaning, washing and parenting us, plus all the other intricate details that come with being a mother... Anyone who says women have it easy, don't appreciate their moms, and women in general, or that put women down in any form are not only ignorant and disrespectful, but also a reflection of how they were raised, or lack thereof. Peace

I need to subscribe. I’m not Asian and I love rice too even more than tortillas. And why’s better than sauce over sauce.... you are charismatic and hilarious. Loved this video. Now I want real mole

I loved your channel... .. thnkz for visiting mexico... every city has there own special.. recipie.... so plzz plzzz stay in mexico nd travel... the country side...

Mole is a gift to the world. It is my most favorite sauce of all time. Just wow!

the "peppercorns" were allspice or "pimienta de Jamaica"

You killed me!!! Ooh

Hi Mark. I’m really curious how long do you prepare yourself to learn the local language? And what method do you use? Thanks !

Very complex dish

Lovely family:). Awesome food!

Thank you for visiting my beautiful state of Oaxaca the place where you can eat 1 diferent food everyday 365 days of the year...

Nomas faltaron las tortillas de 2 volteadas recién hechas en el comal para acpañar ese rico molito..,..

Que rico se me antojo !

i love Mexican culture. n that Mole looks interesting

No grasshopper left behind...! Hahaha! Wow, I'm from Mexico and I've never been to Oaxaca

Jajaja clásico "ayer me hubieras dicho y ya preparaba todo" a la mera hora ya no queda bueno

Thank you so much for making such a beautiful video of "mole negro Oaxaqueño! I am a native from Oaxaca and Ienjoyed watching your video from the beginning to the end. Your video shows how friendly, authentic and unique the people from Oaxaca are! Your enthusiasm and your passion really makes people to feel comfortable when you are recording. Anyone who hasn't in been Oaxaca have to much to discover and learn about the gastronomy of Oaxaca! Thank you for making feel what I felt when I was with my family in Oaxaca, it's a incredible feeling of happiness! De todo corazòn muchas gracias por traernos un poco de lo que es mi Oaxaca hermosa atraves de este hermoso video!

Great video !! Que Viva Mexico !

Love mole great job !

Those are very good with milk the cookies

Oaxaca is very close to my heart. It’s where my dad grew up.

How are you so happy all the time, it irks me tbh

Wonderful video again Mark. Any plans for another double act with Trevor James in the future?

that was so interesting.

Fag

That’s how pepper looks before it’s ground up

Hello Mark, I love your videos cause I learn new things from all over the world that you visit. I love that you have your beautiful wife and son with you. But one question, why doesn't your wife eat what you eat when you eat? Please answer me. God bless you always Mark and your family and the people that help make the videos. Lots of love from Texas.

hope you paid them well!

I absolutely hate mole lmao

A new subscriber watching this at one in the morning makes me crave some

It makes me so happy to see people enjoying Mexico. Seeing people enjoy essentially what my Abuela makes in her kitchen fills me with joy! Keep up the wonderful work and that smile made from excitement to discover more food from around the globe.

Yeah! Ray bans with polarized lenses lol I work at Lenscrafters

MARK YOU SHOULD GO TO MICHOACÁN MEXICO

thank you for come to México ;)

I try mole around Hollywood and la but nothing like my oaxaca I miss everything from oaxaca y más a mi familia I'm sad now and happy for hem to be there

No matter where you go in the world all mothers are the same, they all love it when someone enjoys their cooking

Mole in my house takes less then an hour hahaha it's so nice to see other And how they cook and do that everyday life

La mamá regañando al hijo porque no le aviso antes para tener ya todo listo es lo mejor del vídeo! Mamás vergas mexicanas ♥️♥️♥️

@Mark Wiens in all your adventures around the world, have you ever encountered food you didnt like or wouldn't eat ever again???

like si eres de Monterrey

Gracias por mostrar la receta completa. Yo voy a hacer mi versión vegana.... Sin gallinita ni chapulines....

I love the crickets and I’m not from there

I eat this almost every weekend

Yo ma dude over here making me jelly with all the real mexican food.

Wow! That food looks amazing. I wish I was there to try that delicious mole as I LOVE sauce.

i'm one step away from licking the screen :'(

Look at the quality of the food down there. Everything looks completely different and as It's supposed to be. Everything, the produce, the meat, just makes you sick to know that up here In Canada you get the shitty end of the stick.

I love this video!!

I’m Mexican but I’m not from Oaxaca. I’m from calvillo but mexico has my heart 100%. Just the people and everything over their is amazing ! It’s so beautiful.

This is an Indian dish! What's a complex Indian dish doing in the heart of Mexico? An explorer must have delivered it?

This guy is a little over excited for me.

She said "lots of insistence and little resistance" to express pride in her dish

The elderly lady whose recipe is used for mole is not the grandmother. The people tease that she's like their adoptive mother. They joke playfully out of respect for the wisdom that she passes down.

Dam making that mole it's a lot of work por lady

I think you meant to say pre-colonization as opposed to pre-columbian ???

Go to huetamo, michocan Mexico pleaseee

I hope you paid them

Oaxaca is known for its moles and chocolates !

haha at 3:28, she's scolding her son lol. "you should have told me yesterday so I could have gone and bought everything" him: " I didn't know" haha. typical mexican mom.

Omg ( I LOVE MOLE)

your last teaspoon combination was so wierd not even Mexicans do it LOL

MOLE is the final frontier of gastronomy thats for shure

When you going to be in Honduras food it’s awesome there

Thank you for this video.its been 14 years since I've been to Mexico to visit family. This video brought back so many wonderful memories of my grandmother

Hey Mark and family I'm a new subscriber, I just enjoy your videos, keep up the good work. Respect

How many ingredients? Lmao

Hi Mark, my name is Jordan Neuman and I am just wondering how many languages can you speak because i already know that you speak thai, spanish, and english.

I love molé. My favorite dish

But, she was using her bare arms to mix the ...

Wonderful recipe, glad I've grown up with regular doses of this festival food. Thanks!

dude. i can't believe you're going to fry the bread and raisins etc. but boil the chicken. fry the chicken. por favor

Those are definitely pecans not walnuts.

Pecans, not walnuts.

I had relatives who lived in El Monte, Ca, which was predominately Hispanic. We'd go down there and the lady who lived next door always made Mole and Tamales that were incredible. My relatives (my dad's aunt and uncle (grandmother's brother and his wife) didn't speak Spanish (as far as I knew) and the neighbor didn't speak English, but she always brought food over when we were there.

When I lived in Mexico I had a recipe( very complicated and had about 20 ingredients) I made it for my Mexican boyfriend and he was blown away!! He asked where I got the mix from? HA...homemade !!! I lost the recipe...have not found it anywhere!! It had Plantains in it!!

The “pemienta” (“type of pepper you’ve never heard of before”) is allspice.

I would shoot someone for just one bite

Is the recipe written up?

He's not gonna help make the food

Each state in Mexico has its own way to make mole.

Mole is hands down, one of my favorite things in the whole world.

This video! Eating mole is the best (it’s my favorite) but, eating it outside in the rancho... I know it tasted even better.

I would really like to know how the magic of this mole came together... like the history and origins of it. Unknowingly it looks like what I used to cook as a kid (everything in the kitchen) but in the hands of a master cook it turns out to be a magical, wonderful, delicious dish. Amazing!!

he doesn't know the difference between walnuts and pekannuts?! >.>

Mm now I’m craving mole I remember the first time I had it at a friends house and this Mexican lady made it with some delicious Spanish rice from that day on I loved mole

The making looks kinda weird but I swear it tastes so good

Yup, of all the Mexican food, never had Mole, and once I got to the 17 min mark, pretty sure I will never have at home...........way too much stuff preparation. Insane even.

when i went to mexico I had grasshoppers too and i forgot. I am now vegan and watching him eat the grasshoppers was so grosss. I remember when I had it . I could eat it fine but the texture was so weird to me because I felt like you could literally feel everything as your biting it.

I love mexican food, all kinds. Authentic, American, Southwest, Taco Bell, El Pollo Loco, everything! But at the 6:17 mark.......no way......that stuff looks like meat scum. Time to fastforward.

Amo a mi país

That looks so delicious! Wish I was dipping my tortilla into that mole sauce! I would even try some crunchy grasshoppers too.

Im salivating.

This video is amazing! thank you!

I am so proud to be Mexican. What beautiful and humble people.Every time I go home people are so kind even to a complete stranger. Such a pleasure to visit. Viva

Soooooo jealous!!! Thank you for the great video.

I'd give $1000 for some of that mole

Just hearing them talk, that’s the way we talk at my home. I instantly felt at home watching your video, thank you for showcasing my beautiful country...and just fyi, most of hispanic families are like that, you are more than welcome to visit our homes

Hi Mark, The spice you didn't recognize before clove was pimento, allspice in English. :)

some of these ingredients seem like 'lets confuse the heck out of the tourist!'

i bet when they were talking fast he was hella confused

fast*

She needs one of those survival rocket stoves that produce no smoke. She must breath in so much bad air.

That ain't walnuts bro those are pecans!!

Everything was going great until the grasshoppers.

Thank you for appreciating our beautiful culture ❤

First 10 seconds is my kind of ASMR

Now I want some mole

I ate mole with turkey at a restaurant in Puebla, Mexico about 20 years ago...tasty but it gave me world class indigestion...Dios Mio. I enjoyed the video...great work.

The kindness of strangers is always a beautiful thing. Great video!

5. have good security. The common ppl are great, but kidnappings and violence happen too often to visitors in the wrong place at the wrong time. I love the ppl, I love the food, I love the culture.....but tourists need to be aware. Not green tomatoes....tomatillos, lol. Hope you took those daily pills that prevent "la touristas" ;) Even the grasshoppers looked good!

Not green tomato, its called Tomatillo

Mole is soooo good I love it!

la mejor comida mexicana no esta en los restaurantes sino en las cocinas de las casas nada como el sazón de las madres

I’m hungry now

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Molé is one of the foods I could never stand growing up.

Beautiful!!!

You're gonna have everyone smuggling mole paste

Thankyou to the family and big thankyou to the Mum and was it Dad and Aunty who did the cooking to? Wow such a previlivage to see inside this beautiful culture. And I hope one day I can eat Mole...Yummy yummy... Arohanui.

You’re so friendly and so smiley that it makes it very entertaining to watch!!!!! Awesome.

when are you coming to south Africa

how does this guy keep that cheezy fake smile on in ever for every second of every mark weins youtube vid wtf ? does this guy have any other facial expression ?

I didn't choose to be mexican... I was just too lucky to be one :)

and I only got 1 thing to say, Holy Mole!

Those "walnuts" were actually pecans, also the unknown "peppercorn" was allspice.

I love Mexican people, although my parents are from Cuba., I was in Mexico in 1998. Very friendly people, and felt at home in Mexico. I ate mole as well! Love me some Mariachi too!! One day I will return to Mexico.

You know what bofa is

I don’t know how ppl can dislike his videos!

Every rime I hear someone say TamalE as the singular of Tamales hurts my Mexican ears hahaha... Please English speakers understand the singular form of Tamales is just TAMAL. No one in México says Tamale, such a common mistake and makes you look like such a full in front of any mexican spanish speaker. Great video by the way :D

positive vibes scary eyes

that looked delicious, jealous of you bro.

This is amazing, I love how well she prepared the meal!

Its also amazing with turky meat

Wow what an adventure deep into the Mexican culture, toda linda amigo. Gracias por videoing this adventure

Dude I hope you paid her and said thank you. She's such a sweetheart because Mole is soooo hard to make. My back hurts when I make it.

That mole would have made me cry

Buenos dias means good morning hehe

It all looked appetizing until I saw the grasshoppers at the end...

Such a wonderful and welcoming family.  I loved this video and bless the people of Mexico.

Proceso de alta paciencia, con resultados dignos de dioses.

It’s not bad don’t get me wrong but Too sweet gotta pass on Oaxacan’s mole I prefer my mothers Mole, maybe cuz I grew up with that mole.

Comiste tan rico mmm ... qué ya me suscribí, bienvenido a mi hermoso país . saludos y bendiciones desde Monterrey Nuevo León

Yo para no complicarme, me voy al Oxxo y me compro la salsa de mole :v

Jajajaj, me encanta la señora

I love how Mark just pops all those grasshoppers in his mouth @27:27 like most people throws peanuts in their mouths! Mark is a str8 savage! Gotta love it!

I have lived in Mexico for the rest of my life and sometimes I do not appreciate what this country gives to me, sometimes I think the regional food is bad for not being like a hamburger from Carls Jr, it's really sad not being able to appreciate the culture and all the good things of Mexico offers to my life.

As a Mexican . My mouth has been watering

Im barely watxhing this but i thought it was funny when you wrote #4.. abuelitas and aunties make the beeeest food!!

I absolutely love this video! I wish I could be there thru all of this video especially that tamale with salsa! Thank you for this adventure man!

Oaxaca mole is delicious, I'm actually from Oaxaca and there's many ways to create the mole negro but we keep it a secret

Chipil is a small bush that is harvested in small quantities, normally at individual homes. What you eat for the bush are the leaves themselves, it's a very unique smell, and it's also known to be an afrodisiac.

You end up having the most what experiences of your life? Marble? hehe

I love the way he says Mole

Thanks Mark for showing us different part of Mexico!! we should see more part of country side of each countries to see real beautiful people... what a beautiful little town! This video deserves 10M views! WOW what a recipe, i've never seen like it!!! And the people so family alike, i feel home just by watching them..

Cuando vas al Salvador me gustaría q probarlas nuestra comida

El mole negro es una maravilla, since i was a child i couldn't understand all the ingredients that made the mole paste, the food in the state of oaxaca is amazing and the stories around it are amazing too, you should come to the istmo of tehuantepec and try some of our dishes, saludos and and provecho.

Btw, not sure if those are special walnuts, but they look like pecans to me 12:35

What a great video! Makes me miss my grandmother and her cooking. I just love mole but it's hard to find restaurants that make it. Now I know why lol. It takes forever! Haha....Thanks for sharing!

Doing it right

personally, XD can i pay these people to just live and cook with me, teach me, for me :D and adopt me♥

Me encanto tu video, hermosa experiencia, se ve que la disfrutaste, gracias por difundir nuestras tradiciones culinarias.

stop it, you cant' do that to me. It's 8 am and I am in New Zealand, no chance of ever getting these ingredients together here

5:47 pedicure on a budget lol

I want mole now

I can tell you and your family feel very comfortable in Mexico and that makes me happy.

*pecans

This video wus just amazing.. great job im glad you loved the food.. now on my way to MEXICO to have some Mole lol

Que hermoso video, das a conocer mis raíces mexicanas, saludos.

That looked great with the grasshopper

Original mole had 150 ingredients.....too much work

The way he says mole

What wonderful people!... food.. and Mark.. your enthusiasm kept a smile on my face the whole video through...

You have beautiful teeth. Visiting my grandma in Mexico , I got to watch her and my aunts conjure up the mole sauce....brings back joyful memories.

Did your stomach survive that tejate?

European ? its is very primitive i know that for sure!

I want to try mole soooo bad...but in Portugal Mexican restaurants are basically burritos and chili con carne...bah...it looks soooooo goooood!!!!

yo hago videos sobre mi ciudad Tlaxiaco Oaxaca. tal vez gusten verlos :)

Amazing video! Love the music!

I think the dish came about with scraps, probably, with experimenting what goes and what doesnt. Just a guess

One hot concoction on top of another tasty concoction

My goodness what a journey

When she tried to fried some biscuits and bread. Suddenly. WHAT THE HECK ??!!

Ive never been more jealous in my lifeeeee. Se me antojo

Im dissappointed on what he is doing to that tamale

I couldn't help but smile the whole time. This looks like an incredible time with wholesome people and amazing food.

This douchebag paid 19 bucks for a bagel, in new York......and he still had that idiotic smile on his mush, while eating it ???..... #AlwaysGrinningLikeAretard

Omg that grammaaa I looove Mexican grammas they are always adopting everyone lol

Qué ricoo!¡ Se me antojó un mole super rico

No chocolate?

"HO OH WOW" *eyes rolling* every video lmao

this is no mysterious, every mom (i mean, mexican mom, knows how to do it !

You must be wonderful to travel with :) because you are so positive and excited about everything. Great Video.

I’m going to Oaxaca how can I contact this lady? Lol wow amazing!!!!

que rico... soi de puebla y el mole es lo mejor ahy

10 hours later!! Diarrhea

Tan lindas y amables las señoras, me encanta mi Mexico!!

I Just needed 10 seconds of your video to suscribe amazing video

My goodness! How do I get this Mole in Nigeria? The people are so nice and welcoming.This just made me hungry..lol

Best cooking video ever

I hope you had some antiacid with u, that was a lot of mole in one sitting lol I don't blame you tho. I'm so hungry now.

Gosh, this video made me hungry for more mole but how could you? Salsa with mole? That's plain disrespectful! But then again they put salsa on their tamales.. seriously the difference in ways of cooking mole are beyond, the ways they eat it are completely different than my family does. Such a great video!

This is what you call ORGANIC :)

I've said it before and I will say it again; I would die a happy man if I were to eat mole for the rest of my life. This oaxacan mole further supports that notion. IT IS THAT GOOD.

Omg the Mexican people were so friendly, welcoming and overall nice! I want to go there now!!!

I want some of my grandma's mole now...

This is the first video I saw of yours and honestly I subscribed ASAP

Am hungry

Holy Mole!

The sweet pepper they used it probably the best pepper I’ve ever had. It’s amazing to season meat!!

Mole is my favorite food so I was literally drooling. Great video btw.

Mexico feels amaziiiiinnn and the people so lovely

hace una semana se me antojo el mole y curiosamente me aparecen videos de mole,,, este fin de semana no me quedo con las ganas.

I am so jealous.... that looked amazing, great video

There's nothing like Authentic mexican food..it is amazingly good

Viva Mexico...!!!!!

Molé is such a comfort food for me I love it so much, that looks so incredible!

yum my favorite food mole and more from oaxaca my mother in law is from oaxaca and she does delicious mole.

1 de la madrugada y me dio un chingo de ganas de comer mole

The host of the video is just so cutie pie

meMORable

My mom puts sauce in side the chicken and put the sauce

I'm Mexican and mole is one of my favorite foods

My mom is from Oaxaca and her mole is made from scratch with all of the ingredients this lady used. Its the best mole ive ever tried & Im not the only one that thinks that. She’ll make it for parties and everyone will ask who made it and she always gets compliments. She makes chicken mole, smoke turkey mole, and shrimp mole.

It is a real honor that she prepared mole for you man, moms usually only make it for their family. Edit: as you have seen, that's a ton of work, and that's their way to show us their love.

This is an amazing video.

That looks incredible and delicious...

Will always love and cherish this culture

who else cringed so hard wen he called tomatillos green tomatoes

Omg 3:24

I love being Mexican! I love my people and their generosity. I got chills as you took your first taste of the mole. It's definitely my favorite food. I'm originally from Guerrero and we're make "tamales nejos" which we use to eat our mole with.

My mom's mole is pretty amazing!

Green tomatoes are actually tomatillos.

The nuts you identified as walnuts are actually pecans.

Tastes good but at the same time it seems unhealthy tbh lol

I was cool with all the ingredients and the crazy amount of oil but I'd have to say no bueno to the grass hoppers :-D

Looked like allspice, cloves, and cinnamon sticks which is common in some cultures.

I Believe that people who life a simple life they are always happy and beautiful from there face

27:40. Ok ok, now you're just sinning......

How about we put that mole sauce on some ribs next time?

12:42. You mean "pecans"

bro ur beautiful. how you manage to keep a smiling face at all times is incredible. i love you

Regardless all the negative comments this is once again a marvelous and enticing video!!

my mouth is watering.

My mouth is watering

I need my mom to make me mole now haha

I was not aware they eat grass hoppers in mex

Its amazing how many types of mole there are in Mexico and each region has their special kind. Oaxaca has black mole, Puebla has mole poblano, Northern Mexico has pipian mole which is a more salty one, then you have green mole. Mole is awesome.

Best video ever takes me back to my roots

Great Video.I love it.

y no he comido se me antojo un molito

Love this! You were so respectful to them and their culture! Your parents should be proud! I just had mole for first time and the flavors were amazing! Thank you for sharing your experience with me! I felt like I was there with you! Your eyes were so expressive! Gracias!

Your reactions are just the best when you taste it ooohhuuuh

mole is amazing

Que sabroso el mole disfruta el mole mark w . Veo que lo deleitaste mucho un platillo para deitarse y muy buen video

OMG... she puts my mole to shame. And I love this guy.

The lady yelling at her son for not telling her earlier

Go to Ejutla in Oaxaca!

Alondra centauro mine doesn't

Negro????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TRIGGERED* YOU FU**ING RACIST, they are African Mexican, something like African American but in Mexico, They are Not Negro, Not Black but AFRICAN MEXICAN

Not a mistery at all

Do you know there are times when everything in a dish makes it so wholesome you would start crying? That is the feeling this one blog gave me. It's so great you guys could find this beautiful family!

You all bearly find out about mole lmaoo

I just randomly ran into this video and honestly, I am so happy I did. I’m Mexican and I absolutely love Mole. I love your enthusiasm and gratefulness for the food and the culture. I am so happy that you enjoyed the Mole. It is a very hard and time consuming dish, but it’s so worth it. Again, thank you so much for this video.

My grandmother is Oaxacan and I get this mole twice a year. Best dish ever.

I’m so glad you had an authentic food experience in such a warm, welcoming environment. People from Oaxaca are so proud of their food, I am really sure they cooked with their heart. My parents were born in Oaxaca, so watching all these ingredients blending together makes me bring so many memories. Thank you for the video

Looks too good!

Pause at 3:19 the clouds look like bunnies

One of my favorite Mexican food we make it in Jalisco

Que lindo es mi hermoso Oaxaca

Can't wait for the Colombian adventure

Soy Mexicano y tengo años comiendo MOLE, pero nunca habia visto el proceso para preparar la pasta exelente video

I'm Colombian and i love all your video's, thank u for sharing with us all these amazing food and cultures

My mom makes mole from scratch and it’s so good! I hope I learn how to do it too to pass on to my future family! And thank you for this video! I miss Mexico

Everything was good, excellent, but the grasshopper was disgusting things,

Is the pepper you never saw before possibly all spice? Looks like it.

I applaud you for eating all your food and a lot of grasshoppers

those pepper corns look like juniper berries

oaxaca is in my opinion the best region for mexican food.

Such a generous and hospitable family !

Diego Mares iguall

same reaction for all food?

Why did you have to photoshop that Poor woman In a poo like back ground whilst she’s cooking?

Why am I crying? It’s like I went through the entire experience with you, the family seems so beautiful and so generous. I loved this video so much, I really wish I had the time to make these kind of memories. This was just wonderful. ❤️

THOSEEE AREE TRUE TORTILLASSSSS WUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
