Mexican civilians ate their usual fare during the Mexican War. On December 27, 1846, during the hostilities in California, Edwin Bryant visited the home of a shoemaker in Santa Barbara. "We were very kindly received by its occupants, who, with a princely supply of civility, possessed but a beggarly array of comforts. At our request they provided for us a supper of tortillas, frijoles, and stewed carne seasoned with chile colorado, for which, paying them dos pesos for four, we bade them good evening, all parties being well satisfied." (What I Saw In California, Chapter 32.)

Why according to one historian were Mexican Americans in the mid-1800s foreigners in their native land?
According to historian David G. Gutiérrez, Mexican Americans in the mid-1800s were considered foreigners in their native land due to the aftermath of the U.S.-Mexico War and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which resulted in the U.S. acquiring vast territories previously belonging to Mexico. This shift in sovereignty led to a legal and social marginalization of Mexican Americans, as they faced discrimination, land dispossession, and the imposition of Anglo-American cultural norms. Despite their long-standing presence in these regions, they were often viewed as outsiders, leading to their alienation in a land they had historically inhabited.
