Discovering new foods tops the list of many travellers, but what happens when you decide to call a travel destination ‘home’? On Mighty Zapote, we'll hear from people who made the move that many dream of, to Mexico. Host Margret Hefner chats with newcomers as well as longtime foreign residents about adapting to local foodways. With home cooks as well as experts in various food realms we’ll explore how regional produce offers a window into local culture and generational knowledge, promotes connection and a sense of belonging and can have meaningful local impact.

Perhaps not every podcast name has "depth" of meaning behind it, but we think this one does! Host Margret Hefner and guest Erin Gomez Danielson have both been exploring foods of their adopted home in Mexico as a means of better understanding and relating to the culture. In this episode they get together to chat about why and how zapote fascinates, not just as a 'family' of fruits, but as an edible etymological window into history, culture and attitudes around Colonization.
