Mexican food : USA :: Indian food : UK

[bsman]

Neither Mexican nor good. Nachos were invented in the 1940s (for Americans) and are not a traditional Mexican food, and those are the worst-looking nachos ever...

What's so tough about it: Tortillas, beans, chiles, etc. were eaten by native Americans long before the arrival of white people to what is now the US and are thus an indigenous cuisine. Curries were not eaten in the UK prior to being imported from India during the days of the Raj. That wasn't so tough, was it?

I don't know that it makes much difference that euros moved into a place and are the food in one case and moved the food in the other.

Munchybox is like the Tao. You don't question it, you just sit with the contradiction, and allow the contradiction to sit with you.

That is a false equivalence, because we are talking specifically about Mexican food in the USA not indigenous predecessors before the USA existed.

I have never seen those nachos in the UK

 

[Chicken Man]

Those are latchkey kids nachos. There delicious but are not relevant.

 

[PunkKitty]

Okay. Although the Indian food in India was quite good.

You need to get out more then bro because obviously munchybox has seen them

I chose agree. The Indian food in London was way better than the fish and chips we had. The steak and stout pies were awesome though.

Sometimes I think about starting a restaurant that serves burritos with Indian food inside. Both cultures use lots of cumin and coriander so it makes sense, right?

I need to try a local fusion place, Cowboys and Indians Tex-Indian Kitchen.

Hey do they have a lot of Indian food in Ireland? I'm heading there next week.

 

[BlockInlay]

Someone should invent Mexian food.

I misread your post as “Mexican”. Whoops

Indiexican looks better

I assume they have Indian restaurants there like in the UK.

but, for the ultimate drunk food, you gotta get a spice bag:

If we're going down the fusion foods path, I recommend a good chicken tikka pizza.

You got those nachos at a Mexican restaurant in the US owned and run by people from Mexico?

There are 2 Mexican restaurants I go to and they don’t serve nachos that look like that.

I gotta go with Mexican. Agree that most American mass market fare is kinda meh and boing and all the same, but I still kinda like it. Find some really good Tex Mex and it’s fantastic.
No real experience with Indian food other than one big catered spread at an Indian wedding I attended. It was interesting, lots of variety, and some of it was quite delicious, but I have never sampled the mass produced British variety.
