"Don't mess with my bolillos!"
"not good ... highly processed, full of additives,"
"They make sandwiches on these white, ugly rolls that are pretty cheap and industrially made."
"The bolillo is a sacred food in Mexico, it's part of our daily life,"
A British celebrity chef, Richard Hart, criticized Mexican bread, calling Mexican wheat "not good ... highly processed, full of additives" and describing bolillos as "white, ugly rolls" that are cheap and industrially made. The remarks resurfaced online and sparked widespread outrage across Mexico as many prepared to buy bolillos for the holidays. Mexicans defended the bolillo as a culinary and cultural staple, an everyday comfort food used in tortas and pan con chocolate, and invoked hashtags such as #ConElBolilloNo. The incident amplified tensions around gentrification and foreign judgments of Mexican food.
