Re: food in new mexico
[ QUOTE ]
where did you grow up btw? I really liked NM a lot, spent most of our time in gallup and albuquerque. [/ QUOTE ] Northwest corner of NM, near the 4 corners. Little place called Navajo Dam. It's about 30 miles from Farmington, and about 25 miles from Durango, Co. It was fun growing up there, with the fishing, hiking, camping and all that, but I'm so glad I got out. The economy is depressed and has been for years. I usually go back once a year or so to visit my grandparents. Time stops in NM. |

Also: Tex-Mex is garbage. Real Mexican food is where it's at. [/ QUOTE ] This is quite funny because New Mexican Food is different from Tex Mex is different from what most Mexicans in Mexico eat. How are you defining "Real Mexican Food"? You realize there are different regions of Mexico that eat VERY differently? |

Re: food in new mexico
yes, I realize that.
Ok, fine. A good buddy of mine back in the Corps married a woman from Guatemala. Their neighbors were Mexican. They cooked essentially the same things when they cooked "mexican" food. Beans, rice, meat, tortillas of some sort. The staples of good mexican. Tex-mex is an offshot of Mexican food that for some reason Texans think is good. It isn't. Bland BS. (And I spent the first 10 years of my life in Texas, as I was born there, then moved to Huntsville shortly after a stint in Houston, so I've eaten my fair share of the [censored].) But whatever, I won't sway your opinion, you won't change mine. Consider it a moot point. |

Just different. You might not like Tex-Mex, but good Tex mex is far from bland. That's just crazy talk. |
