The show said the quiet part out loud, including the pronunciation of “tortilla” with many hard Ls.
Still, I couldn’t look away. Although this was disappointing to behold on many levels, it’s really not surprising. Mexican culture is often a punching bag for cheap laughs. It’s also not new to Norte 54 owner and baker Raquel Goldman, who is known for her delicious modern twist on traditional pan dulce, which she often sells at the Ferry Building.
It’s not. There certainly could have been more research, thought and any semblance of effort dedicated to shaping a solid “Mexican Week” episode. Co-host Leith said it best herself toward the beginning of the show, which offered a glimmer of hope they would at least try beyond sombreros and serapes: Mexico is all of those things and more. I just wish that came through in the challenges and in the overall treatment of the episode. “The Great British Baking Show” put more effort into the offensive costumes worn by its hosts and the laziest jokes imaginable sprinkled throughout the episode, rather than stopping to think about whether or not the episode’s depiction of Mexican culture was racist.
Food is hands down the best way for people to learn about other cultures, not childishly laugh about the sounds of common words like “guacamole” or “pico de gallo.”
