History Of
Tlaxcala
Approximately 12,000 years ago, the
first settlers arrived at the present
Tlaxcala, nomadic hunters that 6
thousand years later would be organized
in familiar groups collectors of fruits.
With the advent of agriculture, 4,000
years ago, these became semi-
sedentary and began to develop pottery
to cook food, whose diet consisted of
maguey, corn and fruits. Its rapid growth
is evident in the year 1000 BC, when 40
thousand Tlaxcalecos inhabitants inhabit
the center and south of the entity.
Five hundred years later, the population
organized in ancient prehispanic cities
with causeways, temples, pyramids,
canals and dikes, the population
amounted to 125 thousand inhabitants,
distributed in numerous settlements. In
this time, the textile crafts of maguey
and the pottery were central axis of the
Tlaxcalteca society
Gastronomy
The Tlaxcalan cuisine is divided into two
regions: the north, whose axis is the
maguey, that is to say, the Barbecue
(seasoned lamb meat, wrapped and
cooked in maguey bundles), mixiotes
(meat wrapped with the cuticle of the
same bundles) Mead and pulque,
chinicuiles or red worms of the root and
meocuiles or white worms of the
pencas; The flowers of the maguey or
hualumbo and the quiote or stem.
In the southern region are tamales,
moles and vegetables. As in most of
Mexico, in Tlaxcala the food can be
daily, festive or ritual: the first does not
detract by its simplicity; The festive
attends to social issues that revolve
around the cycle of life - baptisms,
weddings and funerals - and the ritual is
closely linked to the celebrations of the
patron saints of the people.
