Ha… I didn’t see the stories (It was mentioned on another post) but I knew he would make a comment on how gushy the show could be about the “Spanish contribution” to the cuisine. I wasn’t surprised when I heard on the shows because Eva is Texican and she married one of the wealthiest men in Mexico… There generally is no “colonizer” mentality against the Madre Patria on Mexico and especially not amongst the upper classes. But now amongst the younger generations, there isn’t a any rush to gush about our ‘european past’ either (as it was a myth in Mexico, California and in Texas. Mexicans have been Mexicans since near the end of the conquest)
So yes, it was warranted.
