Jiru posted:Real mexican stuff (as in, not nachos/tortillas/generic sauce stuff, which are on every supermarket, but mexican brands) used to be hard to come by, but lately a lot of south- and center-american shops have been popping around. Those do carry real mexican brands, although they can be hard to find in smaller places. Is Mexican Spanish just oddly accented, or has it diverged farther?

Nobody seemed be laughing derisively, they just genuinely seemed to think I sounded like somebody trying to "do an impression" or something. Admittedly I learned most of my hospital Spanish from a woman who grew up in Mexico City so it took me a long time to realize I wasn't supposed to slur all my syllables. Anyway even if people were occasionally inspired to mirth by my sad blathering, the food was too loving good for me to be upset long. And everyone was super friendly in general, especially once I escaped Las Ramblas, and somehow they made dishes like "a pile of octopus" and "a potato omelette" and "here are thirty charred leeks" into absolute food porn that couldn't be posted in this thread without risking a ban.

American (in general) and Spain Spanish do have word divergences apart from the accents, and those are rather marked and diferent between regions, so stereotipical mexican/argentinian/cuban/etc talk does sound clearly different to spanish people and vice-versa. My family has an Argentinian pair of friends who like to sometimes use a stream of slur words that are appropiately obscene for whatever is troubling them, yet at the same time make no sense to anyone else in the room

Most Spanish people I've met have been nothing but helpful and encouraging and patient with my poo poo Spanish.

Lots of H-marts have a basic preference for fluent Korean speakers because lots of customers of age >60 only speak Korean, or so that's the story https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/HMartCompaniesInc/743999654419822-health-safety-administrator https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/HMartCompaniesInc/743999653923662-assistant-produce-buyer There are a surprising number of Hispanic folks in Los Angeles who speak some Korean and basically nobody outside of LA

Shepherds pie is made with mutton (the name is a hint for the source of the meat). If you make it with ground beef you are making a cottage pie.

uhhh.... A professional competitive eater from California set a new record Monday night when she ate 22.5 pounds of prime rib at Milwaukee steakhouse Ward's House of Prime. Molly Schuyler accomplished the feat of eating 360 ounces of Ward's Famous Prime Rib in about 45 minutes, according to owner Brian Ward. As far as he and his staff can tell, nobody has eaten more steak in one sitting. "The largest someone had ever tried before her was 212 [ounces], and they didn't come close to eating it," he said. http://www.tmj4.com/news/local-news/competitive-eater-downs-22-pounds-of-prime-rib-in-less-than-an-hour-at-wards-house-of-prime

I did look this place up and was surprised to see it wasn't Korean or Japanese. The "cute poops" fetish gets really old for me, really quickly. Poop cafe? Actually rather cute, certainly better than the "eat curry out of toilets" version.
