a d i r e M 8 Culturs Art Director, Diana Vega was the impetus behind our visit to Merida, Yucatan. She shares: "CultursCELEBRATIONS! Destination: Merida is very special to me because these are my mom's recipes. They are traditional dishes we eat almost weekly, reminding me of home when I am away. In Yucatan, there is a custom to eat “frijol con puerco” (Pork with beans) on Mondays because there is a story that in the past, pigs were killed on Saturday and there were no refrigeration systems. That combined with the workers needing to go back to work, so it was easier to cook beans with the remaining pork on Mondays. As you can see, many of these dishes represent the cuisine of Yucatan which is filled with tradition and history."
