Fo3 posted:loving australia, do I have to say that every post!?  I feel sorry for your country.My cousins used to live in the Netherlands when they were teens, and I remember they would pack their bags with Mexican bread,candies,chips and whatever food they could take whenever they came to visit, because they told me poo poo over there was sort of bland.

To be fair, not all of us are like that. Those of us lucky enough to have significant Indian and Thai populations nearby gradually work up our affection for actual spice and move up to versions they aren't making bland as gently caress to appeal to the general palate. The Australian culinary world is in a bit of a change at the moment with an increasing emphasis on flavour and international influences merging with local techniques and ingredients, so over the next two decades things should improve a little. At the moment though eating at a friend's place can be a recipe for the Sadface. I had a friend caution me a curry he made was for the 'daring'. It had zero spice. Like, none. I had to put so much spiced lime pickle on there to get any that it was overwhelmingly sour.

I just wish corn was cheap in Canada. Paying premium for corn tortillas sucks, because flour tortillas are so bad in comparison. I've decided to just try and make my own now because there is nothing like a fresh corn tortilla!

My northern (  ) city has nearly as many Mexicans as LA county, and there's a whole tortilla factory district here. Riding your bike past it at night is loving heavenly.Also suck my American corn subsidies! I just bought 5 ears of the sweetest, best corn in the world for 85 cents.

Also, flat-bottomed tacos are a gimmick that one company does, not some weird Australian way to make them. And I don't know what he means about Mexican food not being big here, because just about every supermarket seems to have a "Mexican" section. Even if the pre-packaged spices in "taco kits" or jars of salsa or whatever aren't "authentic" it's not like you can't get the ingredients to just make stuff.

If you're a restaurant and you need a whole lot of egg slices you don't have to cook and slice a whole lot of eggs. Also if you're in prison and want to win a bet you can agree on them as a standardized quantity so the other guy can't weasel out of it by saying "oh I meant quail".

You are right. As you have no use for tube-shaped eggs, no one does. They probably built the whole machine for fun, let it run for 5 minutes to make a video, then disassembled it.

Closest Mexican shop to Perth is in Adelaide (chile mojo), that's 2700km away. Loomer, I didn't say crushed tomatoes, I said no cans of tomato sauce (ie strained tomatoes) around. It's only sold here as italian passata. E: deleted dumb tiggum stuff. Fo3 has a new favorite as of 16:59 on May 9, 2015 |

I don't really get why you would make them at home, but they are a staple of what's served at the canteen at small-town community gatherings where I come from. It's all the same ingredients and you don't have the added trash/expense of a plate. I don't really see a downside.
