Meme Thread... no politics

That's a purely hypothetical situation, entirely contingent on the person behind the counter being patient enough to determine what "tack-oss al pathtoah" means and charitable enough to serve them. 

I don't shake my fist at the TV all that often, but when I do, there's a 50/50 chance there's some Brit on it absolutely grinding Mexican Spanish to a pulp...

I'm getting me some fish tacos tomorrow. Meme unrelated.

I go to the local places where I see lots of actual Mexican folks eating.  If I'm not having trouble making the señora behind the counter understand what I want, I'm not in the right place.

 

This is usually my experience at the local joint I go to most often.

My rant: I let myself backslide a bit on my health routine. Was talking to my Doc at my appointment today, and they were like: Cut the crap, you're smarter than that. 

And I am.

You need to remind them that unhealthy people keep them employed .

I think that level of heat in Mexican food is very regional. When I lived in Ohio it was available either of two ways: bland or melt-your-flesh. Where I live, they usually ask. The other day a place had five optional levels of fire.  Kudos for getting it so dialed in. 

It's not the heat. Heat seldom kills the flavor of the food. It's the rest of the seasonings. I like chicken that tastes like chicken, not the seasonings. If all I can taste is chili powder, oregano, and cilantro, they are doing it wrong. Half a can of chili powder and some hot peppers do not make Mexican food, they make nasty food.

This meme was written by somebody who has no idea what the UK is like. You guys realize the Indian is the most popular food in the UK? 8 pints of larger and a   chicken vindaloo was pretty much right of passage for any 16-year-old.

Now a German on the other hand would be something different.

Had some wings at brunch in Berlin. The German at the table was goin, "Oh! Oh my! These are so hot! My mouth is burning!" The other American at the table and I looked really confused about the mildest wings we've ever tasted, thinking, "I suppose there *might* be some black pepper in there..."
