Mexican Food Vying for World Cultural Heritage

“Mexican cuisine is such an integral part of the country’s centuries-old cultural traditions that the government believes it should be included on UNESCO’s list of Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

With the enthusiastic endorsement of cultural authorities, tourism representatives, food experts and social activists, Mexico submitted the country’s traditional cuisine for the consideration of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), based on the conviction that it is a unique cultural tradition that should be preserved and shared with the rest of the world. “
