Jozy Altidore USA Spain Mexico food

Jozy Altidore's culinary journey took a sharp turn depending on which side of the border he found himself. When the American forward landed at Villarreal in Spain, the breakfast spread was a total shock to his system. He recalled staring down small pieces of toast, ham, and cheese while wondering where the cereal or eggs even were because there was none of that. The absence of rolls and familiar staples left him feeling like he was dying of hunger for six straight months. Everything was just too proportional and nothing matched what he needed. Then he hit Puebla in Mexico and the narrative flipped completely. He described Mexican food as the best in the world with nothing coming close to it no matter where you go. Having been to many places, he insisted the food here is on another level entirely. His personal favorites included tacos al pastor alongside traditional cemitas poblanas that left him enchanted. The abundance of such delicious options made maintaining competition weight a genuine struggle he joked about constantly. It is a wild contrast between starving in Spain and dealing with the opposite problem in Mexico.
