Igor you really need to get out to California and get a dank ass burrito.

I remember Rafa's in Cotati used to do the five pound burrito that was amazing, but you had to starve yourself for like three days before and after.

Tuna and mayo is what a sad old white man with failing taste buds would eat

Tuna melts!

I'm a sad old white man, though.

Also I have no idea what tex mex means. I've never heard anyone actually say that out loud before

Northern Mexican food, versus the really good stuff from the Yucatan.

(I think Ambrosia salad is one of the biggest abominations to come out of "American cuisine.")

Then you have yet to run into "bologna salad". OMG yuck.

Captain Britain @ 29/3/2017 12:41 Wait you guys don't know about beans on toast? Then they're gonna love black pudding.

I love black and white pudding!

And no, I don't really want to know how it is made.

you just mix black pudding with white pudding

No, TexMex is the Americanized/bastardized version of cheap northern Mexican (Chihuahuan and Coahuilan) street foods. Think Tacos and Quesadillas and all the other stuff you find at places like Taco Bell/Taco Johns/Taco Time/etc.

Mexican food is as varied from region to region, just like food in America is. Chihuahuan cuisine is distinctly different from foods from Sonora, or Baja, or Mexico City, or Oaxaca, or the Yucatan.

It'd be like calling "New York Style Cheese Pizza" --> American Pizza. For most of the country, they'd seriously debate you on what "Pizza" is. This is why I cringe every time someone calls the crap they serve at Taco Bell "Mexican". Sure, it was inspired by a good street food in Mexico, but even Mexican people wouldn't claim it (thus its called TexMex).

I just watched an episode of Curb while I ate lunch in which Larry offers a homeless man his leftover sandwich, but the man politely declines because it's tuna. I thought that was rather topical.

This thread made me realize just how much I miss living (and mostly eating) in Tucson.

Merc, Google "Ambrosia salad" and let me know what you think.

There's no mayo in this!

If you only use whipped cream and take out the marshmallows it would be good?
Same with Waldorf salad, only use whipped cream and it's good.

wtf marshmallow and whipped cream in salad??!

ohh its a fruit salad :merc:

In the Midwestern US, "salad" does not refer solely to greens with a dressing. "Salad" refers to pretty much anything non-cooked that accompanies a meal that has multiple ingredients and a "binder" of some sort (i.e. whipped cream, pudding, jello, etc.).

That said, I make some mean salads.
