On this week's show, we travel back in time to nineteenth-century Mexico to investigate France's influence on traditional Mexican cuisine.

Jeffrey Pilcher, author of ¡Qué vivan los tamales!, is a professor of Mexican cultural history at the Citadel and specializes in the globalization of Mexican cuisine. He introduces us to the importance of French food in Mexican history and discusses the relationship between food and patriotism.

I offer an easy way to give your Cinco de Mayo feast an authentic touch with a recipe that marries Mexican and French taste: Homemade Mexican Sour Cream.
