I’d love to go to Mexico for the food but this stuff from the yanks is bananas. American food is a cheeseburger and chips, the stuff you put on a kids menu because it’s so bland they’ll eat it.

eating in mexico as a european has gotta be like hearing music for the first time

Nobody from the land of beans on toast has standing to malign the cultural accomplishments of a truly multicultural country. Cajun food, soul food, and the food of every immigrant group too smart to go to the Green Unpleasant Land is America's heritage.

Much of what we consider “Mexican food” was entirely invented in America by Mexican Americans and largely does not exist in Mexico.

There’s a great bit from one of the Anthony Bourdain shows where he goes to the border town in Mexico where nachos were invented, and the nachos he gets there are just the saddest looking nachos.
