Since this is the ONLY newsgroup that has anything to do with the
Mexican STYLE of cooking, I suppose there might be some room for food
that had their origins in Mexico. Since there is no "Authentic"
Mexican cooking, unless you go back to the first Indians in the
jungle.

Agreed that gaining knowledge is a good thing. However, if this
NG has a desire to discuss authentic mexican cooking and recipes, I
think we all should respect that. Cal-Mex, Tex-Mex, and Taco Bell
really do not qualify as authentic Mexican cooking, even though their
recipes may have at some point been modified from an authentic Mexican
recipe. It would be like saying that the Teriyaki Burger at Red Robin
is authentic Japanese food, because it uses Teriyaki sauce, originally
from Japan.

At least we agree to disagree. From now on I will at least state that the
recipe may not be "Authentic". That way someone can enjoy the Mexican
flavor with the full knowledge that they are using a recipe that may not be
from Mexico.
