I wasn't implying there wasn't a difference in Mexican vs. Southwestern. I
was saying if it taste good, what difference does it make whether it's
Authentic Mexican or Southwestern, except to fulfill your curiosity. If a
person had just enjoyed half a burrito from Taco Bell and was informed it
was not Authentic Mexican food, would they then immediatly spit it out and
start gagging just because it wasn't Authentic Mexican, or finish enjoying
the burrito no matter what country it was thought up in.

Maybe the difference is that this newsgroup is titled
"mexican-cooking"..............Did I actually read the words "Taco Bell"? I
know several people who swear they can't go a week without eating there and
if they, or anyone else enjoys it, that's great. In my opinion, it has no
place here. We are discussing and sharing Mexican recipes and
cooking........aren't we??? There are lots of food newsgroups that discuss
food in a more general sense. I check the posts here to find "authentic"
Mexican recipes and the history of the foods of Mexico and the people who
prepare/consume it. By reading appropriately directed dialogues I hope to
enrich my knowledge of the same. Otherwise, I would be wasting my time. (and
sometimes I am).
