While the true origins of chili are somewhat debated, who made it popular is not. Sometime after the Civil war between 1860 and 1880, chili began being sold by a group of women named “The Chili Queens”. The chili was sold with tamales and for only a dime. The first time Chili is ever mentioned in print is 1882 in Gould’s Guide to San Antonio, where he mentions that chili con carne was available all around the Military Plaza in San Antonio. There is evidence that chili con carne existed and thrived in Texas long before its first time mentioned in print, but because of interstate rail roads that began to connect San Antonio to the rest of the United States in the 1880’s, the 1880’s might have been the first time that chili con carne was spread farther than just through cattle trails in

When the Spanish arrived to the “New World” they gradually brought their culinary “Old World” remnants. Thus started the fusion between “Old World” and “New World” ingredients. For example, “It has been pointed out by culinary anthropologists that very few of the ingredients in mole poblano were indigenous to the New World. The native chiles and chocolate, as well as the turkey itself, were indispensable in creating the dish, but almost all the spices were Old World ingredients.

For me, a true Mexican Taco consists of meat, corn tortillas, and condiments like onions, lime, cilantro, maybe chiles, and either a special green or red sauce (salsa). Now, you may ask, how did this famous dish came to be about? Well that’s where it becomes interesting; tacos were made as a way to make money in Mexico which lead to the spread of this cuisine from Latin American to the United States and caused a modification in the cuisine in order to fulfill other cultures in their preferences.
