¿Que es birria?/What is birria?

Birria is a Mexican dish that originated in the state of Jalisco. It is a flavorful stew served with it's braising liquid.

Birria seasonings vary greatly and depend not just on the regional style but also on the cook. There are simple recipes that only call for some chiles and avocado leaves to more complex recipes that require many types of herbs and spices along with a variety of chiles.

At Viva Mexico Petone our chef makes birria salsa with chile pasilla, chile quajillo, onion, garlic, vinegar, bay leaves, peppercorns, cloves, salt and pepper, and the good news is you can try these flavours not only in meat based dishes, but also in veggie/vegan ones!

Tequila o Mezcal? 🤔

The simplest way to think about it, explains Sydney Block, co-founder of Catedral Mi Padre Mezcal, is that all tequila is mezcal but not all mezcal is tequila. Mezcal is a vast category of spirits made from agave and tequila is a small subset of mezcal, much like bourbon is a kind of whiskey, or Chardonnay is a kind of wine.

- The cooking method is why mezcals often taste smokier than tequilas. But because the methodology for making mezcal is less constrained than tequila, and because mescaleros can use whatever species of agave they want, there's a great deal of variety in mezcal.

- To make tequila, on the other hand, distillers steam the blue agave piña, usually in a brick oven or autoclave. Tequila's strict constraints mean that the flavor is more consistent, and the methodology also lends itself more easily to industrial production, which explains why tequila was a more common import on American bar shelves than mezcal until relatively recently.
