Thanks to the Quechuas and Mapuches we can enjoy it today.
It is a popular drink that is consumed mainly in restaurants, public streets, markets and squares in many Chilean cities. And its consumption increases considerably at this time of the year, when summer is approaching. It is the well-known mote con huesillos, a national drink that has its origins in the times of the conquest, when the Spaniards brought wheat to the Latin American continent. The Andean peoples transformed the seed into flour or mote and incorporated it into their meals.
Mote is the cooked and peeled grain of corn or wheat and is so called because the Quechuas call boiled corn mote, similar to the name given by the Mapuche, muthi or muti. They are grains of wheat boiled in lye until they release the skin and washed with running water to get rid of the bitter taste of this.
If dried and cooked peaches are added to the mote, a caramelized juice is formed with a taste of cinnamon, orange or cloves, according to preference, and from this mixture comes the mote with peaches. Although the passing of the years has modernized many of the moteros, or sellers of this drink, with metal carts and water tanks, the recipe for making this drink remains intact, just as its creators, the Quechuas and Mapuches of the time of the Conquest, devised it.
The typical Chilean soft drink.
Ingredients: (for 4 people)
-
1/2 kilo of huesillos
-
1 cup of sugar
-
1 small piece of chancaca
-
1/2 kilo of mote
-
1 liter of water
Preparation:
Leave soaking the huesillos the night before, in a liter of water. Put them to cook with the chancaca, in the same water where they were soaked, after they come to the boil, let them boil for 45 minutes. Then add the sugar and boil for half an hour more. Remove and let cool.
In a separate pot, bring the mote to a boil, remove, strain, and let it cool. It is important how you serve the mote con huesillos. In order to get a good Chilean result, first put two spoonfuls of mote in the bottom of the glass, then two huesillos, then the juice. Serve well chilled with a spoon placed inside the glass and enjoy a delicacy for the hot days ahead.

Ok so apparently someone dug up a story Will Smith told of "bopping" his wife on the head with a newspaper cause she dropped an f-bomb in front of their 2 year old kid and are parading it as evidence that hes some crazed wifebeater who can barely contain his everyday rage, and idk if im underreacting here but is that it?
I've absolutely never come close to getting physically abused but I have absolutely received bops with a newspaper as a kid when I did something annoying or even just as a joke, I mean if theres other shit he did to her or whatever, or if she took it extremely badly, then yeah I get why people would take it this seriously, but all I have heard of it is from a show where hes telling the story and everyone is laughing about it.
Im just concerned like, am I being too lenient here about this shit? Cause to me it feels like this is a very kneejerk and overly sensitive reaction about literally anything that could be interpreted as bad in a relationship in order to be allowed to justifiably pour hate at a celeb. It feels like people are just hearing the story secondhand and going "Welp he's a wifebeater alright, case closed".
It's a bunch of libs trying to use this as an excuse to be racist.
"Person slaps shitty sexist colleague for mocking their wife again on stage" does not equal an abuser.
Rock literally knows both of them in real life and they've all been in movies together. Chris went personal, fucked around, and found out.
A lot of it also of course seems to be people with personal experiences of domestic abuse who get reminded of those events and feelings, and you cant fault anyone for feeling a certain way or feeling personally worse about Will Smith because of this.
But I'd absolutely fault people who just go online and openly project those feelings as an objective fact of reality, particularly on a website where basically anyone with experience on it should understand that people are extremely eager to spread shit around as long as it has some kind of authority behind it, wether it just sounds confident or someone references their own experiences to make people nervous about denying the conclusion cause it might be interpreted as denying the experiences.
No, you're right that it's extremely bad faith.
