Have you ever ate authentic mexican food?

[Mormolyce]

What exactly is "North American Mexican food"?

A bit redundant isn't it? Kind of like saying "European German food" or "African Ethiopian food".

Uh, isn't that to distinguish it from Central and South American food?

Why don't you eliminate the confusion and give the USA a proper name already?

[SL1200]

Yes I eat it all the time. If i could afford to I would eat it every day. I need to find a nice Mexican woman who can cook.

The confusion is that Mexico is in North America, its the second most populated North American country. Therefore "North American Mexican food" and "Mexican food" are the same thing.

Real Mexican food is just like every other food, depending on where you get it, it can be good or bad. In Texas we get a lot of variety and I could point to about 10 places in Fort Worth that would be great and about 10 places that would be downright shitty. I have been to Mexico several times, usually to Chihuahua--which most people don't realize is a city and a state, and can tell you that you can get authentic Mexican food in Texas easily.

The one we have works just fine. There are states. Although they have banded together and a federal government fills functions somewhat similar to the EU (note that name ... wait for it), the original colonies all had their own histories and even today they have considerable rights. Yep, those states are united. There is South America, Central America, and North America. Where are these particular united states? Right, in the Americas, as opposed to Europe for example. European Union. United States of America.

Wait, I think I need French for this. Appellation d'origine contrôlée. That thing!

If we say "American" anything, it's assumed it's from the United States of America. To be humble, I'm sure neither Canada nor Mexico nor the islands of the Caribbean want our beer, wine, or cheese heritage associated with them.

I had food when in Mexico if that counts, they said it was :3

Also relevant is that just like the USA, the EU doesn't span the entirety of the continent it's named for, but whenever people refer to "Europe" as a political entity it's implied that they're referring to the EU countries and not, say, Russia.

Nope, there's no restaurants around here serving it that I know of. Just have the home made swedishized mexican stuff.

Take your pick of: cilantro, oregano, lime juice, cumin, coriander seed, chili peppers, onion, garlic, paprika, corn, beans, pork fat, cheese+... aaaand you just learned US Mexican cuisine 101.

[Ulfric Trumpcloak]

I've never been to Mexico or a Mexican restaurant, so no i haven't. Probably never will tbh, Cuban food is better anyways.

[Very Tired]

No, I've never been to Trump tower.

But the European Union consists of a bunch of independent countries that all have names. So is the UK. My country is a bunch of states, but the country is called Australia, not the United States of South East Asia.

Wait, isn't Australia a continent?

[Splenda]

Yes and not at all bland, it was incredible.

I can't say for certain if I ever truly had authentic Mexican cuisine. I have had many American variations including the most delicious New Mexican food. God bless green chili. Once you had that, it is hard to go back to red.

You could start a war with that.

This is true. Before one starts. Let me clarify I love all chili.

[thilicen]

Norwegian Mexican food or "Tex Mex" uses a shit-ton of seasoning. This did indeed make my first experiences with real mexican food seem sort of bland. Lots of beans, we don't use beans.

[Flarelaine]

Used to work in a Mexican restaurant and the chef insisted I try everything we sell. It was probably more Tex-Mex, though the chef claimed we're the genuine thing. At any rate, I liked the stuff. Too bad avocados are prohibitively expensive here or I'd be doing my own guacamole.

The cilantro quesadillas were a class in how simple can be great.
