saintonan posted:I don't think it's really fair to judge a culture's cuisine based on high-end dining. If I want good Mexican food, I'll go to Las Cazuelitas or Emilias in Brownsville (sorry, don't get into the upper Valley much so I don't have any examples from your neck of the woods). They're never gonna win a Michelin star but it's great food and great service. It's more along the lines that it's perfectly acceptable to have the Tex-Mex label and it be a "higher end" dining experience. It's not so much to judge but just more examples that establishments like that exist and are perfectly fine. Like I'd also go, if there wasn't a shelter in place order, out to B-Town and get barbacoa from probably the last fire pit in Texas to eat there and take home to my grandpa out in Starr County. Damnit now I want a Botana platter from Costa Mesa that says it feeds two but can easily feed 8 people. Jiro fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Mar 30, 2020 |

tex mex is good. why is a raclette so much better and more valid than a queso flameado? and in fact most regional foods are pretty alright, except that garbage from the midwest. that poo poo is gross food for garbage people.

I'm a 35 yr old Hispanic and I still don't know what differentiates tex-mex and Mexican food. Just give me some good carne guisada and rice, tamales, fajitas, enchiladas, etc, and I'll be a happy fat gently caress. e: and bathe me in menudo

My apologies if a mod comes down on food chat here but I'm pretty sure that's 50% of this thread at any given time anyways.Marxalot posted:Hurricanes are why I generally keep 10-20lbs of pintos and rice on hand at all times. I'm actually curious how well those beans handle over, like, a year. I imagine you don't go through that too fast. I tried to go in on dried beans awhile ago and kept getting sandy results--especially with pintos. I think some of it came from using old beans in particular, and I got the impression you're pushing your luck past a year with dried beans. Stuff like this makes me think otherwise. Or maybe you just put up with it?

To describe the taste, it's like those middle ages paintings of African animals described second or third hand to the painter who had never seen an elephant, much less anything like one.

I would think like most things, dried pinto beans can freeze for a long loving time. Granted I've never tried it, nor have I needed to. That and washing them so the skin gets a liiiiiitttle soft helps a ton. Also I find this breather of a convo be a bit better than being hyper focused on how Abbott and Patrick are complete gently caress wits and our AG is trying his damnedest to ban abortion right now. That or any postulating that due to Abbott being a complete wuss will be the straw that breaks the camel's back in getting a Dem in the Governor's Office.

Sampatrick posted:Just replace tex mex with literally any other cuisine and it's pretty transparent. If you said that about soul food, you'd be called out for being a racist poo poo. If you said that about chinese food, you'd be called out for being a racist poo poo. So on and so forth. When you say that a cuisine isn't worthy of being made gourmet, you are implicitly saying that it is a worse cuisine - because it doesn't deserve to be made the best possible version of that cuisine. This is a racially charged sentiment because, obviously, the cuisines that this is said about are those that are made by groups that historically were impoverished or were discriminated against. The food that they made isn't worthy because they made compromise with poverty. Do you see how this is inherently a racialized statement that discriminates against those communities? sir, this is a taco bueno

Just to see what kind of way they gently caress it all up. The thing that I always find the most appalling, probably, is the salsa. I mean these days anywhere there are latinos, whether it's SLC or Detroit or wherever, you can find a good taco or the basics, but I swear to God it's like almost no one outside of Texas, New Mexico and California can make a good table salsa. The Midwest has to be the worst on this. I'm positive on multiple occasions that I've been served ketchup or cocktail sauce with some chopped up vegetables along with chips. The only thing I've learned in teaching myself how to cook different cuisines over the last 5 years or so in Thailand is that regardless of the recipe, if you don't know what it's supposed to taste like you're not going to make it right, and from this I can deduce that a huge portion of Americans have never had decent salsa, which seems loving crazy because the mediocre bottled poo poo at Walmart or Meijer or whatever is 10x better than what's in the restaurants, so just start by copying that. I can completely forgive American Thai for being almost universally awful, but salsa is unforgivable.

My favorite texmex place has the absolute best salsa of anywhere, by far. I don't know if they make it themselves or get an obscure sysco product or something because I've never had it anywhere else. Oh, and the rice. There are very few places that have good seasoned rice (corn and peas do not add to the dish), and anamia's is by far the best. (Granted i believe its just mi cocina's recipe so take that for what you will...)

My wife and I did a two year stint in Corpus Christi for work, and we were absolutely flabbergasted by the crappiness of the Mexican food there. We asked recommendations from everybody we knew and every place was just awful. By the end if we desperately needed Mexican, we went to Chuy's. It truly was the lesser of all the evils.

That's a lot of people angry at whatever Tex-Mex is. Some types of food correspond to ethnic groups, but not all of them, and generally all genres of food can be good so it's not good to be picky. But if you don't like things covered in excessive amounts of melted cheese, there's not much that's gonna change that. enraged_camel posted:Houston... may be hosed. I thought that the Whitehouse was providing more aide to the states that were politically allied with the president and less to his enemies. Where's the payoff for all that dicksucking that the governor and lieutenant governor have been doing?
