"Since I moved to Mexico, I fell in love with the people and this city. However, my words did not reflect that respect in this country I am a guest and I forgot to act like one."

Richard Hart, a British baker who opened the Green Rhino bakery in Mexico City in June, said on a podcast that Mexico does not have much of a bread culture and criticised local wheat and white rolls used for tortas as highly processed and industrially made.

Pastry chef Tania Medina and other locals objected to a foreigner disparaging Mexican culinary traditions. Hart issued an Instagram apology, saying he loved Mexico and regretted failing to act like a respectful guest.
