Gastronomically speaking, Sinaloa has everything to obtain the recognition.
The national chamber of the Industria Restaurantera y Alimentos Condimentados (Canirac) will fight to have Sinaloa cuisine recognized as an intangible cultural heritage by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco), said Ricardo Velarde Cárdenas, president of the restaurant organization.
The project is an offshoot of the recognition of Mexican food internationally, in particular diverse dishes from specific States. Velarde Cárdenas wants to include Sinaloa in that category given, he says, the wide culinary tradition and original cuisine of Sinaloa.
He told media the national Canirac delegation is in agreement with the proposal and it will be at the center of discussions at the next meeting of national representatives to take place in Mazatlán in September or October this year.
Gastronomically speaking, Velarde Cárdenas pointed out Sinaloa has everything to obtain the recognition but it will take work and coordination. The Sinaloa Secretary of Tourism has already made some advances in the process and would be interested in taking up the project, he added.
In the meantime, the organization is continuing with its plan to establish a gastronomy route in cities along the Northern Economic Corridor.
Canirac Mazatlán will participate in Durango city´s national fair beginning July 18 and ending August 10, where it will display the best of Mazatlán cuisine, principally dishes based on seafood, to entice tourists to vacation in the port. Velarde Cárdenas said they expect 20 or 30 Mazatlán restaurants to participate.
