"oh, if you say authentic Mexican food is not good you have never been to a good taqueria"

mother fucker do you know what street tacos are?

street tacos are poor people food

you know what the median income is in Mexico? 5000 dollars a year.

You think "authentic" mexican street tacos have diced fresh cilantro and avacado slices on a savory whole meat white chicken or some poo poo? gently caress you, no one can afford that to sell that poo poo from a loving cart in mexico much less buy it. loving street tacos cost 10 goddamn pesos. They are made with rat meat beaten to death in a back alley and zested with limes you stole from a vendor's cart. The tortillas come from corn flour off a conveyer belt in a shack.

loving authentic mexican street tacos you mother fuckers don't even know

In case Y'all were confused"authentic"means they cook what they like rather than what they think you like. If that rat meat taco tastes good then let's eat.

The issue is quality of ingredients. Street tacos prepared how mexicans authentically make them but with 1st world quality ingredients tastes delicious but that's not exactly authentic. The whole point of a street taco is to cover up how bad the meat tastes because it is the cheapest part of the meat and like 40% gristle which is why they slather it in diced onions and spices and such.

The whole reason you cannot have "authentic" cuisine in America is because by definition you are dealing with a quality of meat and other ingredients fundamentally different from what the people actually use for the food.

This doesn't count for vegetables. Mexican vegetables are hype.

Fish tacos are poo poo

don't give me that "you haven't had the right fish tacos yet", because i've tried many fish tacos recommended by legions of people telling me exactly that, and they are still mediocre. I've never had fish tacos that didn't leave me disappointed with my choice of cuisine. Fish tacos are an inferior form of Taco and Fish.

The Mexican way to eat fish is to cover it in chili and lemon, then cook it on a skewer over a firepit on the beach. With a cerveza.

You do know that street tacos are not the end all and be all of food, right? I've had meals for 20 cents and I've spent $200, both have been very good. Good food is good and no one with a busy food stand is in the business of making people sick. You are overthinking things.


And I can't speak for the quality of Mexican vegetables, but American ones are shiiiiit. I can't think of anywhere else I've been that had worse veggies than the US. I don't know why we're so bad.

It did. The biggest thing is that for once I was working in CMYK and saving that to a jpg. I was doing it so I'd have an additional channel for making masks. I'm doing a lot of clean up work with these things and using old advice from the Photoshop Advice megathread from 2007. Man, that was a useful thread and I want to re-read it sometime (even if all the images died with imagewaffle)

I went to a wedding on the east coast a few years ago and we drove from West Virginia to Baltimore to fly home and we stopped at some random roadside crab place in Maryland on the way to the airport. It was the best food I've ever had.

Sorry Mel everyone wore shoes and nobody was pregnant so it was basically Cheesecake Factory and I'm a fraud.

This was my childhood. I grew up in Maryland. Every other week, the family would get together and get a bushel of crabs.

I never order shellfish but when I get it it's amazing. Soft shell/blue crab supremacy.

Ordering seafood abroad is dangerous, I ordered mantis shrimp once with fellow goon Don't ask Kant in Hong Kong. They served us 40 of the drat things. As we were eating I wondered aloud about their conservation status.

Endangered in SE Asia. :negative:

I try to not eat animals that won't be around in 40 years, honest. Blue Fin Tuna, though. It's their fault for being the most delicious thing on Earth.

The key to good fish tacos is to not put a lot of poo poo on them. Swordfish, tuna, halibut, or red snapper are all good candidates and can be seasoned in a variety of ways. Then on top I just throw a light vegetable or sauce and eat it. Also fry or grill your tortillas to make them taste better.

I ate at this Cuban restaurant in NYC that did deconstructed tacos. Basically they just took a yellow flour cake and lightly baked it until it was tender then placed the carnitas or fish on top. Carnitas were banging because they had this pickled onion and field greens on top and that was it. I think that's the key to latin cooking versus american-latin cooking. The amount of poo poo you pile on top.

I am on a seafood diet.

When I see food, I say "did this food live in a primarily aquatic environment" and if the answer is yes I am like "good, this fits the restriction I have placed on myself and I can eat it"
