/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Production of pulque, by contrast, begins with aguamiel which has been extracted from the core of distinctly different types of agave, known as pulqueros. Once the pulquero has matured, after between 12 and 20 years of growth, the aguamiel is harvested and then fermented; no baking, no crushing, no distilling. The preponderance of proof indicates that drinking pulque has been a tradition of Zapotecs and other indigenous groups dating back to the 3rd century AD, often associated with ritualistic social and religious imbibing.

That sounds worse than normal alcohol. No mental effect, but you can't move right? How is that fun?

>>6448715
Is that horchata?

Saw it in a doc. It made the drinkers throw up after awhile, but they knew that's what it would do and kept on drinking all night.

I've been wanting to try this for several years now. I was in Mexico for a week a couple of years ago but I couldn't find anywhere that served it and everyone said I would need to go to Mexico City to find a pulqueria.

Usually sold out of a garage. It has the consistency of snot.

>>6448839
nah, you can find it from veracruz to sanluis potosí, all the mexican valley, puebla, jalisco, morelos. Pretty much all the center

>>6448862

Are these commonly available in the US? I've never seen them being sold before.

It validate most of the cheklist to become a successful memedrink. Good job, I'm sure middle class white people will love it with their avocado sushis.

that pretty much IS normal alcohol. and also the reason for all the DUIs.

most of the effects people attribute to booze are learned behaviors and placebo.

if you watch other people behave elatedly and unhinged on alcohol, you'll expect to feel the same. so you will.
a group of sheltered, christian homeschoolers trying alcohol for the first time (and consciously avoiding the above scenario) might be largely unimpressed.


alcohol is fun the same way spinning until you're dizzy as a kid is fun. it's a sudden shift in sensory feedback.


so until we find out that pulque has another chemical in it aside from ethanol, ain't nothing weird here

Sounds like cough syrup.

So it's just like beer is fermented grain then is distilled to make moonshine/whiskey. Wine is fermented grapes, then is distilled to make brandy/grappa/etc. Cider is fermented apples and then is distilled to make calvados.

This is the cactus equivalent? I'd be down to drink the boozy mash tequila/mezcal "beer"

>>6449165

Have you ever drank alcohol? Because It doesn't sound like it.

>>6448715
lmao ayy

>>6449165
alcohol doesn't impair your body, just your mind controlling your body. this mexico stuff sounds like it cuts off your body from your mind.

>>6449165
As usual, people mixing up valid points with nonsense.

Yes, anticipation / expectation can define your behaviors and experience. No, alcohol by default is nothing like you described. The pharmacology, ie, the attempt for an objectively quantifiable component that doesn't rely on subjectivity and self evaluation, agrees with this.

>>6450868
as expected of the people who invented peyote

>>6450868
Ethanol does trigger systemic vasodilation and a blood sugar crash in the later stages of intoxication, as well as acting as a diuretic and triggering inflammation. It does impair the body to an extent.

>>6450940
We don't know if peyote was invented. We were only born here, and it just is.

Doesn't this this drink (or part of the processing) involve young girls chewing up and spitting something back into the drink?

2%... "Its magic you can drink it all day without getting drunk"

if your legs feel like jelly its probably because youve been sitting on an uncomfortable bar stool all fay

how to get rich if your mexican:

1. mix 1 part cum to two parts corona
2. market it as an ancient drink passed down by grandmothers for generations to white people
3. fiesta

So its magic? Or is it something besides ethanol causing this? because ethanol doesn't have different properties in different drinks

anyone have korean makgeolli before?

"lol bodily fluids is funneh" is not as edgy and cool as you think, just makes it seem like you're still in school.

>>6452015
Ethanol does have different properties in different drinks, though it's pretty marginal and typically indirect. Caused by other compounds in the drink. You could probably say the same about any food or nutrient as well.

Just like caffeine's properties in the body are different when L-theanine is present.

>>6452716
your constant pointing that out makes you sound like the insecure child that you are

>>6452659
You could say the same about coconut. Which you likely eat quite a bit of in the candy you buy with your allowance.

>Ethanol does have different properties in different drinks

pulque is shit. nobody in Mexico drinks that crap. stop trying to force your shitty drink on dumb americans who think anything exotic is good. pulque is pretty much a dying tradition so fuck off

>>6448715
This sounds retarded. I want to try the ancient chocolate drink though.

>>6452916
I'm not obsessed with looking and acting like one, I am one

Meanwhile you're just an embarrassing manchild

>>6452878
Well, after I said it something (re)clicked in mind that there are two ways of looking at the same thing. One, as the system it is subjected to changes, the "properties" a compound has within it, do as well. The compound's properties are defined by the state of the system it's acting within.

The other the compound has a spectrum of intrinsic properties, regardless of where it is or the state of the system it's in. More or less it's unchanging.

I don't know. I think as ways of looking they both have their uses, but I can understand why people wouldn't like to say the compound itself's properties have changed when other things are around it. Its capability and mechanism of action stays the same, it just ends up doing different things within the whole.

>like what
Different subjective experience of it based on other pharmacological reactions happening because of other molecules present in that type of drink. Absinthe being an example that comes to mind. Like I said above though, I can see why people might not like the statement that the compound itself has changed, even if its effect will play out different in the brain and body as a whole.

>>6452972
It is possible for a chemical to change how your body interacts with other chemicals. Grapefruit is infamous for this as it inhibits P450, but as far as I know, there are no chemicals present in significant enough quantities in any alcohol beverage with such an effect

>>6452896
no u

OK, here's my question: Where can I get this stuff in the United States? I've googled, I've yahoo'd, I've checked Amazon. I've called my local liquor stores and no one's heard of it. (Yes, I called the fancy liquor store with all the cool shit, too. Two guys there have heard of it, but no one knows where to order it from.)

I'm in Kentucky. Where can I find this stuff?

>>6449165
>impaired motor skills on alcohol is just placebo

I've read some retarded shit on this website but you're cruising for Top 3 easily, god damn have you ever even seen anybody drunk before? Consider me b8d.

>>6453174
you can't. its pretty much dead outside of central mexico, and even then no one drinnks it there. its not worth your time. go get a nice bottle of mezcal

>>6450961
Yes it is.
Literally the only liquid in existence that is cloudy and white is semen.
I thought everybody knew this.

>>6451737
No it's not.
It finding good tequila THAT'S STILL CHEAP that's the hard part.
Good tequila is everywhere you want it to be if you've got the money to buy it.

>>6453174
It's difficult to transport or preserve. Have to go to mexico, or, apparently, buy it canned.

>>6453174
>pulque
maybe one of these places listed ??
Mezcal Del Maguey in Kentucky
http://delmaguey.com/ky.html

>>6453232
most high end tequilas are shit. you can find excellent tequila for a mid range price

http://tequilavolcandemitierra.com/

is an example

what im saying that the agave for making mezcal outnumber the agave for making tequila. common sense that you will find better variations for mezcal

I would definitely not recommend canned pulque to anybody, since part of what makes pulque so strange (and delicious, in my opinion) is the fact that it normally isn't done fermenting when you drink it. The proprietors of the pulquería I frequent in Mexico City have claimed that it actually continues to ferment in your stomach, which a lot of people experience as a kind of bloating similar to the feeling I get when I drink beer. It's supposed to be good for digestion, as well as loaded with vitamins, but I haven't noticed any dramatic digestive effects either way.

The general consensus seems to be that pulque should be consumed within one or two days of its production, so I can't imagine that canned pulque would compare with the real thing, which I find quite pleasant to drink.

And for the record, the Mexica didn't invent pulque to get buzzed -- it was a ceremonial drink associated with religious communion with spirits and divinities, similar to chicha in the Andes.

>OK, here's my question: Where can I get this stuff in the United States?
Look deep into the mexican communities it won't be east to find in the first place. Here in northern california it is available (in a lower quality) in limited amounts it is illegal as it is not controlled by the ATF ... so look into the older mexican communities which should be found locally in your area .... the last I understood the flavor of pulque has been sold in a refined hard liquor state although the flavor is accurate the effects are that of a hard liquor ... as for the drinkable quality it has been greatly enhanced without the dense consistency in the newish product.

The fact that pulque is alive prohibits that it be canned or bottled .... it must be allowed to breath along with protected from many, many, unclean materials .... the unclean materials are items such as detergents and perfumes reminder this product is very much natural and it easily affected by its environment. The best way to clean anything in contact with pulque whould be something washed with specificall natural "weeds" not some man made detergent.
I traveled with family from hidalgo to chiapas with 12 liters pulque. The pulque needed to be rushed in order for it to not go bad. The bottles we capped with maguey tips and they were bubbling over since they were filled and allowed to breath. The pulque was a huge treat as they were from the family farm. We also made mixiotes with the handfull of turkeys that followed us indoors along with the lamb we brought from Zacatlan.

Pulque is a mans drink though and though, so don't expect to behave like some sort of faggot and be invited by fine company to enjoy such a prized elixir.

>>6453260
>And for the record, the Mexica didn't invent pulque to get buzzed -- it was a ceremonial drink associated with religious communion with spirits and divinities

that is literally the same thing.

>>6448715
>An ancestor of tequila that’s at least 2,000-year-old
That would mean that its waaaay older than the Aztec empire and it would have to be around the time that nomadic tribes were wandering around Mexico.

>>6453783
is that accurate

>>6453783
Oldest drink in the world apparently.

my next door neighbor was from el salvador and he mixed up a bathtub batch of this shit every year.

Its pretty much dead. It isn't the most appealing drink nor is it easy to market or has a good storage life. It has all the signs of dead tradition. I'm sure Mexican wine is a bigger thing at the moment

>>6454759
You are wrong, hipsters are reviving it, just look at all the new pulquerias in Mexico City, even in Guadalajara are starting to poping out, its a great beverage, a little hard at first, but getting the dicks is the same, and it feels great at the end.

>>6454792
>hipsters are reviving it
So outside of central Mexico, does anyone drink it? Nope. It is still hard to market it due to the horrible notions it gets from being a peasant drink. It will never be successful in the US as well. It just isn't marketable, especially when you have mezcal, wine ,craft beer, and other non mexican trendy alcohol that is easier to get access to.

>>6454586
This guy knows whats up

You either love pulque or you hate it. This shit is like nothing youve ever tried.

>>6454817
Don't you read??, i said "even in Guadalajara", And thats is waaay to North to be Central, i can bet you there are a lot of places in Mexico were you can get pulque.

Also in Guanajuato, Zacatecas, in a hipster pub in Sonora (they only had it curated with strawberrys though); go outside Man, Mexico is huge and there is a market for everything, even for "poop filtered" pulque.

so 1--3% population of a state drinks pulque? So basically Mexican wine, mexican craft beer, and mezcal are much bigger throughout Mexico than Pulque. Yeah, its not going anywhere. A few hipsters isn''t going to revive a dying tradition

Yeah man, 1% to 3% of the population.

Of course "Mexican craft beer", Wine and Mezcal are much bigger... but if you are not a 12 yrs old you must remember that mezcal was pulque tier in terms of popularity, look at it now.

>>6459125
Pulque is an prehispanic drink

Mezcal is what embodies Mexico : a mixture of cultures, with the distillation technique brought by the Spanish.

Mezcal is a tradition not only in drinking culture, but in food as well. Go to Oaxaca and nearly every restaurant and home will give you a sample to taste of their local mezcal before serving the food
