Is Mexican food better in Mexico? Or is it American influence what made it so popular worldwide?
>>
>>22173191
As an American that's never and will never set foot in that shithole, I can say definitively:
No.
There's a reason you're typing and reading American English right now.
>>
>>22173191
She is underage btw
>>
>>22173191
you don't really get mexican here, you get tex mex and northern mexican adjusted for the american palette, but yes this is probably what made it spread since the american style limits it to more widely available ingredients and introduces a lot of shortcuts.
>>
>>22173198
>No.
No to what?
>>
>>22173191
It depends.
>>
>>22173208
Irrelevant.
Still no.
>>
>>22173208
No
>>
>>22173232
>>22173234
o-ok

>>22173198
That reason being the world wars? They didn’t have much to do with america though, it was just rest of the developed world fucking itself up.
>>
The Mexicans I worked with ate disgusting food. Not once did I ever see a taco or burrito. Mostly it was pozole (spicy soup with goat meat, hominy, chickpeas, served with corn chips, cabbage, hot sauce, lime, pickled radish), tostadas with escabeche (disgusting pickled fish, vegetables, pig fat, etc.) or ceviche (like salsa with raw shrimp or fish in it) or else they would have some buckled ass torta (like a sub sandwich) or else they would just have rice and beans, grilled fish, and especially spicy chips coated in hot sauce and chamoy. All of it is very third worldy.

>just rest of the developed world fucking itself up
Which continues in the culinary world.
Chefs still shooting themselves in the feet to create "authentic" cuisine, while never stopping to wonder why that same cuisine isn't anywhere else in the world. These tards act like they have an ingredient monopoly.

> pickled fish
> ceviche
I love both of those things

>so popular worldwide
Like where?
>>
>>22173322
Doesnt Sound that Bad tbqh
>>
>>22173191
A quarter of mexicans live in the US, so I doubt it.
>>
No, but it's different everywhere. Most Mexican food in the US is just texmex unless they specify in the signage. A few places in California specialize in sea food (mariscos) and claim "Estilo Nayarit." They don't use as many spices here on the south side of the border. Ground cumin isn't that common, for example.
>>
>>22173363
even europoors try their hand at Mexican food. its mostly meh
>>
>>22173191
Those are non-contradictory statements.

>>22173363
Tex-Mex is popular in just about every white country.
>>
>>22173322
But all of these are way, way better than shit like tacos and burritos. You even gave me a slightly better opinion of spic cuisine. Why are you so subhuman? Do you only eat fast food?
>>
I don't see mexican food being popular other than tacos (hardehells) anywhere in the world until like 10 years ago with california exporting instagram-friendly foos items things (which are dibious in 'authenticity' like birria lol)
Tex-mex is just fast food with shit ingridients to cater to slobs, nachos are argubly more authentic than hardshells by nature of not being apologetic on adding random shit on tortilla chips
I can't imagine genuinely liking shit like Chipotle or Taco Bell
I'm not trying to be pedantic, is just genuine garbage
>>
>>22173322
All of that sounds delicious and I'm convinced youre actually a shill for beaner food masquerading as a hater cause that shit was an advertisement
>>
>>22173198
You should at least visit once your home country.
>>
>>22173322
Pozole uses pork

Birria and barbacoa use goat
>>
>>22173200
Out of 10!
>>
>>22173200
AOC here is like 15
>>
>>22173191
>popular worldwide
Tex-Mex maybe, but IDK about the authentic stuff. Even here in Texas you don't see a lot of the authentic stuff without going out of your way to find it. I wish green chorizo was easier to get here. If the authentic stuff was more popular worldwide then the French would go to war with Mexico over the insult to pastry that is the concha.

>>22173715
>A quarter of mexicans live in the US
More like 10%, which is still a fuckload.
>>
I used to work with a Mexican. He told me the "Mexican" restaurants here are terrible (they're not but I can believe they're not authentic) and he only goes to food trucks.
I went to one and got diarrhea.
>>
>>22173191
Actual mexicans can make beans that look like crap but taste like mana from heaven.
>>
>>22173191
Traditional mexican food is a different cuisine from Americanized mexican food and varies by the region just liek Americanized mexican food does. It is 100% american influence that made Americanized mexican food popular worldwide.

You and your partner should get checked:

Ceviche is absolutely not better than even a decent taco or burrito. Ceviche is not better than a decent anything, it's not bad or anything but the ceiling is so low because of how it's made. I've never once been wowed or impressed or overly happy that I ate ceviche the way I am about other foods.
>>
Overrated anyway
>>
>>22173200
I assumed that was AI
>>
>>22175388
>they're not authentic
i literally could not care less about this. all that matters is if it tastes good.
>>
>>22173191
Yes but its different in different locations. but Generally, at least 50 years ago, Mexican food was better in Mexico. Tex Mex is actually specific mexican cuisine from a dry desert state of Mexico. I kind of mentally took notes and can reproduce alot of the dishes I crave. Some of the dishes are equivalent to here in Texas tho from mexican restaurants. Others I just make at home.
>>
>>22173740
I think Taco bell hard shells. Quintessential white pipo tacos are Cali Wali style.
>>
>>22173191
>Is Mexican food better in Mexico?
>posts an anorexic starving mexican
Clearly not OP.
>>
Only models are that skinny around here.
>>
>>22175640

at like markets and stuff they leave the ceviche out in the market air. im pretty sure the best ever foods guy said thats where he got super sick once in one of his videos. luckily i hate seafood but ceviche always reminded me of just a super gross salad with potential health risks.
>>
>>22173191
mexican girls with clown makeup is a very specific fetish i have and i never thought i'd actually see it
>>
>>22173200
aoc is 16 or 17 unless you live in a puritanical shithole
>>
>>22176729
now youre hooked
>>
>>22176729
>I'm one of those rare males who find attractive women sexy

Wow really?
>>
>>22176729
>mexican girls with clown makeup is a very specific fetish i have
It's a very specific fetish in Mexico too because I don't see it that often anymore. I've noticed it's way more common in the US.
>>
>>22173200
In what shithole?
>>
>>22175388
Authentic just means 'tastes like ass'
Americanized food just took something and made it edible
