[ speaking non-english ] wow. i m eva longoria, born and bred in texas by as diverse as its 32 states. i m exploring mexico to see how their lands and their past has shaped a culinary position as their 32 states. the port s strategic position saw veracruzans fight off repeated invasions right into the 20th century. but this history of conflict from indigenous power struggles to african slavery created a cultural big bang. soy india. soy veracruz. with a legacy of strong flavors, pioneered by strong women. every time that i blink, my mind was like, yes, i m going to try. i will. veracruzanos are famous for their defiant spirit.
