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.

i'm definitely not linking it since found it in an opsec check but like, lol, god damn, i'm reading this shit from a proclaimed man-on-the-inside and half of it is just straight up objectively not how it went down in sitemod chat back when the events happened. it's just an outsiders cabalification of what happened in a scenario(tm) where honestly half of us sitemods were freaking the fuck out and cobbling together a short-term plan of action while the admins discussed how to handle stuff. won't say which scenario(tm) since i'm not linking the post regardless.
certified hexbear historian deboonking a proclaimed whistleblower and then i snap back to reality and like, i think to myself, why do i still remember this and why did they care enough to post actual cointelpro about a chapo splinter onto another site entirely. we joke about being too online but the fact that people actually take time out of their day to write fucking paragraphs on an entirely different site where they larp as a staff member on this site is insane, we're an almost 20000 account forum with 600-900 users active at a time generally that's not even federated yet, these people's threat models are entirely fucked :what-the-hell:
i'm embarrassed that i remember the minutiae from a year ago on a niche internet forum that i enjoy browsing, i cannot for the life of me imagine someone who loathes this site caring this much about it. it's hilarious to me :i-do:
It's sad to say but hexbear is quite small compared to something like reddit and yet we have tons of wreckers. I don't even remember the old sub having these many shitheads coming in trying to start crap.
i honestly think we stepped on the toes of the posting is praxis brigade in a way the original sub kinda left alone, imo
which again, very funny that they are still going at it. i still see wrecker post patterns pop up from time to time that perfectly mimic long-banned accounts, and it's like :joker-troll:
I know right? It's always the same ones. Why do you keep coming back to a site that you hate and hates you back?
Honestly I think it's mostly one guy that keeps coming back
@aaaaaaadjsf Keeps a better tab on the wrecker(s) that comes around here. I can think of at least two, the one that goes after me and trans people and the one that keeps bringing based_ball up, those two are regulars.
When solipsism and no material analysis, one can only model threats on the damage they do to the ego.
It makes sense, we're a small cadre of posters, but we're a cadre of dunk snipers
hexbear to us is just a place to refuel jokerfication and not do the equivalent of what eating 6 straight big mac's will do to your heart but with your brain by browsing :reddit-logo:
but to the reactionaries, it's a gathering of lenin's strongest posters :lenin-shining:
The admins of that place are known to impersonate people to stir up drama. Someone created an account on that website impersonating me early on in this site's history.
