I have been reading for years, but there just isn't much useful
content from most users, beyond repetitive description of what kinds
of tacos or tamales or enchiladas they like, or how they ate tacos and
tamales and enchiladas and drank a lot of beer, or somebody telling
about their favorite taqueria where they ordered tacos and tamales and
enchiladas off the menu painted on the wall behind the grill.

And now Wayne is talking again about some "Puebla Protocol" that
supposedly defines what is and isn't "authentic" in Mexican cooking,
and how eating Mexican food is some sort of "ceremony" and you expect
me not to think he's being just a little bit silly?

The whole idea of alt.food.mexican-cooking is to talk about how to
cook Mexican food at home, even though the purpose of the group has
never been officially defined.

Nobody has to be an expert or a master chef. Nobody has to live in
Mexico, or visit Mexico frequently to discuss how to cook Mexican food
at home. Nobody even has to ever visit Mexico or have any kind of
experience with Mexican food at all to discuss the subject or post a
recipe and ask a question.

And, nobody even has to read the postings of the trolls that hang out
in this group.

But it's really sad to think of how many people are reading this NG
that think tacos and tamales and enchiladas are all there is to
Mexican cooking.
