Pati's Mexican Table (2011)

S10E5 Escaramuza

Jalisco is renowned for its charros, but in this episode, Pati delves into a remarkable aspect of this culture: the Escaramuza. This all-female equestrian competition pays tribute to the women charros who fought for Mexico’s independence. Pati meets a top competitor in Jalisco, where she learns about the competition’s history, rules, and significance, all while observing the competitor train aspiring young riders at one of their most significant events of the year. In the kitchen, Pati prepares traditional Jalisco-style birria, and pastry chef Fany Gerson joins her to whip up a delightful Mexican jello for dessert.
