We're in the historical city of Antigua Guatemala in Guatemala, Central America, and today we re meeting up with Rebecca to cook and eat a dish called Kak'ik - one of the best Mayan Guatemalan foods! Actually just outside of Antigua, we drove out to Santa Ana, Guatemala and specifically to Maya-iz where they are aiming to preserve their Mayan traditions and culture through food. We met up with Rebecca d Leon from Kukul Tales who shares a passion for food and culture. We immediately got started cooking the Kak'ik, using a whole live turkey, then roasted tomatoes, onions, cilantro and a variety of chilies, Everyone was roasted and toasted, then ground into a puree and combined in a huge ceramic pot with the turkey. The flavors started to brew and blend, and they kept adding more herbs and culantro to the soup to make it well balanced, herbaceous and healthy. I loved seeing the entire cooking process. Along with the kak ik, they also made some of the best tamales I ve ever had - they were so juicy and moist with the right amount of meat filling and olives on the inside. We also tried some sour dried fruit juice called chicha and a dish that included a variety of tripe stewed down until ultra tender. But the ancient Mayan recipe for turkey soup kak ik was the highlight, a truly well rounded blend of seasoning with nothing overpowering the flavor of the turkey. It was delicious!

She should have warned you about the drink. Part of the reason for my comments from your previous videos on this region was in part to a family who essentially saved my life in when I was living in Houston. The grandmothers in that family were all about traditional foods and this is some of what they used to make for all of us. There's really nothing else like it. What a wonderful day you had with these beautiful people. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Personally speaking. I hate Turkey. My wife cooks one every thanksgiving. There is however the leftovers in which I turn into a sandwich that I have grown to know as the Artie. It's nice bread, Mayo, turkey, and artichoke hearts, Provolone, with Italian dressing, that is all melted together in the oven. If you dont like left over turkey. do your duty and make this.

I have been watching Mark for years. We would watch the videos with my grandparents. They were always amazed at the quantity of food and the amount of spicyness. They passed a few years ago so now I think of their reaction seeing Mark in our home country.

The turkey thats about to loose its precious life mercilessly, how casualy you say its the star of the show. Remember brother, it will all be paid off, justice is there in gods court. Be assured, all the inhumanity you do to animals, is gonna be paid by you

Thank you Mark, for such an excellent and honest representation of guatemalan food. Been following you since day one. The best food reviewer in my opinion. Love your videos

I don't know why i'm always doing this to myself. Watching this at night with no food while watching Mark enjoy himself is a vibe everyone is feeling right now.
