sean10mm posted:Every Brit and European I have met is super racist against Mexican food and also has never come within 6,500 km of it. There used to be a Mexican restaurant around the corner from me. It was run by an actual Mexican and his wife. His brother and brother's wife were the cooks. It was lovely stuff. Then the brother had a heart attack and they returned to Mexico  .

bump_fn posted:yes but every jar of "salsa" in a grocery store here is ketchup with some chopped onions mixed in. and the tortillas are like fifteen years old So? Buy flour, mix it with lard, salt, baking powder and water. Shape the dough into balls and roll it out into round circles, fry them. Take tomatoes, bell peppers, any kind of hot pepper, cilantro, and put them all in a blender with salt and pepper and a bit of cumin, add lime juice and blend. Marinate steak or chicken in a mix of lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, olive oil, and crushed garlic. This ain't rocket science.

We go because it's 3am, we're broke, and we're high. Exactly. I buy Taco Bell occasionally because I want the experience of eating vaguely spiced ground beef in a shell that's been dusted with the stuff they put on Doritos chips. If I want actual tacos I go to one of the thousand or so Mexican restaurants within 5 miles of my home.

Benitos hat isn’t bad either, and people rave about daddy donkey burritos in Farringdon, but I still think £8-10 for a burrito is loving absurd. Chilangos is poo poo.

yung lambic posted:Can you link to this? I'd love to try and make proper carnitas Sorry, it's lost way back in the old thread and I'm on my phone up a mountain. The basic gist was homemade spice, slow spice cooked pulled pork, ripped to shreds and then grilled in the oven on a sheat until the fats deep fried the meat on top and you got crispy, slow cooked pulled pork taco meat. Add garnish, mole of preference, lime on homemade pan fried wraps.

It almost certainly doesn't count as Mexican food, but the carnitas burritos from El Mexicana at the services at the bottom of the M40 is a banging guilty pleasure when going to/from the airport OP.

Seriously if you just go to tesco's there's a kit where you can make tacos and all you have to do is fry up some mince, add some powder to it and then whack the tacos in the microwave. I like them.

Every time I find an Indian restaurant in another country I get excited, wondering if it will be the one, but end up with a pile of greasy slop with too much fenugreek and cumin in, half a potato and over-boiled peas shoved into the meal like it's the 70s, chapattis that are just thick tortillas, onion bhajis that collapse into sad piles of oil. Pathetic. Course, I know British Indian food isn't like authentic Indian food, but I like the range of Pakistan dishes here and the atmosphere of a good place. (Third Eye in Manchester is one of the best fwiw) edit: and its coriander, not cilantro

Pathetic. theres good indian food in any good major city in the states but you're less likely to pick one at random and find some really good stuff (and then the one good place you love will go out of business because all anyone wants to eat is fukn chicken tikka masala  )

I love Mexican/tex-mex, and I have a regular place I hit up for a chimichanga every time I go to the US. Taco Bell (while not even being vaguely authentic in any way) is also my jam, and I’m pretty happy to see them exploding across the UK over the last year. I think there’s at least 2 in London now?
