What Is Mexican Food? A Nevada Court Has the Tricky Job of Deciding

I lived in Texas for a number of years. Also
New Mexico, where the state question is “red or green?”
which refers to the two distinct colors of chilies used
in their (almost exclusive) mexican dishes. There is a
big difference between “Tex-Mex” and “Mexican” cuisines.
I like Tex-Mex but there’s nothing better than a stack
of red chili enchiladas (muy picante) topped with a fried
egg, and a margarita on the side.

There is no excuse for “Mexican food” other than the threat of potential immediate death from malnutrition.

Well, I can think of another. A co-worker of mine was sent to a trade show in Paris. His wife insisted on going for this once in a lifetime opportunity, but they didn't have a lot of money set aside for such a trip. They ate at a nice French place ... once. Their budget required them to eat Mexican food in Paris for most of the trip because it was less expensive.

Is Alpo still ok with your fragile palet?

[Tommy Revolts]

Tortillas are the game changer.

Here in Phoenix, Carolina's has some of the best Tortillas.

[right way right]

Alpo tacos.
Jack in the Box has them.

Contract law disputes should be settled in Court. It is how a civilized society operates. You may not be interested in the details of the dispute, but you should be happy there is a peaceful way to settle the dispute.

Sounds like the court case a number of years ago over, “what is a sandwich.” Is a wrap a sandwich? And the answer is “it depends on the state”.

[Veto!]

Wouldn’t even give Alpo to a dog. As in never. I always cooked for my dog. She liked chicken, turkey and beef. Simmered, and used nice yummy water on her crunchies. Nutro crunchies. Fast forward 20 years, and my new cat still gets Nutro Chicken and Brown Rice crunchies. No GMOs, organic. No wheat eaters in our house.

I like Mexican food.

[Pilsner]

There is nothing like a nation-wide cuisine, not in Mexico or Italy or India or anywhere else that is environmentally diverse or has been (or remains) heavily culturally or politically fragmented.

There you go, injecting “facts” and “reason” into a thread about food. What are you, some kinda newb?

Food threads feature gluttonous praise, snarling invective, and nothing else. Like this:

“Every one of you addle palated cretins criticizing Mexican food ought to sentenced to six months of eating nothing but frozen, gas station hamburgers, to drive home the point that it is possible to find an unappetizing example of any cuisine, and foolish to condemn the entire cuisine because of it.

See?

[jmacusa]

Good for you.

Tex-Mex is a large improvement.

In 1961, on a Navy Med cruise, we often saw skinned dogs, cats and bald chickens hanging in butcher shop windows. That was in Naples and just South of Athens... in the Summer.

We refrained from eating meals ashore and instead limited ourselves to alcoholic beverages. We survived.

Two thumbs up!
