I like *some* things from fast food Mexican places but I know it isn't really Mexican food. I love some kinds of tamales. I never had them as a child unless I was lucky enough to find a frozen dinner with one in there. Not even remotely close to the real thing either, I know. My mom hates tamales so they were never served in our house. And in those days, no Mexican restaurants served them. Now some do. I can't say that I like Italian food as a whole. A few dishes, yes. But much like Mexican food places in this country, much of what is called Italian is a far cry from what is really served in Italy. I married an Italian American so I know that seafood is big in Italy. But you won't see much seafood in Italian places here. You see the same old, same old. Lots of pasta, pizza. Maybe chicken Parm. You'll see some different things in NY but still lots of pasta. |

Mexicans don't eat > anything resembling what Americans think is Mexican food. Oh give it a rest. You wouldnt know Mexican food if it was served to you on a silver plate. It is a big country. It's versions are as endless as ours are. Like most great things, you get fusion across the borders and you have Baja Mexico in San Diego. Did you expect to see southerly versions made near Panama in TJ? Sure they eat lots of fruits in season and other things at season. Folks along the coast use lots of fish/seafood too traditionally.

Iceberg lettuce, shredded carrots, sliced celery, sliced onions (sweet, white onion), shredded cheddar cheese, sliced black olives, sunflower seeds, sliced almonds. I used a new (to me) Kraft salad dressing, sun dried tomato/italian. Very tasty! With the salad I had a chunk of black rye bread from the local grocery bakery. All very tasty and very filling! Dinner tonight has been whatever I can put my hand around from the fridge. I'm just grazing. You? -- DreadfulBitch I intend to live forever....so far, so good. ......Steven Wright |

Heh, it would seem I still annoy you whenever you make stupid assumptions about my taste in food (and dumb statements about other stuff) and I call you on them - which has been going on for years, so there's no 'currently' about it... Once again, let me state that I don't like warm or cooked avocado; clearly you do - and that's perfectly fine with me. And the fact that you don't like meringue and I do, doesn't bother me in the least either. You can also go on assuming that your taste in food is some sort of 'official standard' to go by, but I hate to break this to you - it isn't. -- Cheers Chatty Cathy |

Tonight I've decided on chicken breasts, cut into bite sized piece - cooked in a creamy sauce that also involves a dollop of German mustard, a tablespoon or two of peach chutney, bell peppers and onions. I will also make some basmati rice and serve it over that. BTW, there's a significant time difference between here (RSA) and the USA - and no matter which time zone you're in, we usually have dinner before you do... unless you're in the UK - in which case there's only an hour or two's difference. -- Cheers Chatty Cathy |

I had a sandwich so tall that I had to cut it with a fork to eat it. Toasted honey whole wheat bread, Nucoa, three kinds of faux cheese, tomatoes, green pepper and white onion. Far too many veggies to put in there so just kind of piled them around the plate. I did nuke it. No way could I have flipped it and by the time I got to *my* dinner, it was late and I needed the food right away. |

Like I said in another post, Janet Uk would probably be offended by sf's remarks. However, considering this thread originated on 2014-01-15 (which makes it 3 weeks old and therefore 'old news' as far as sf is concerned) made me laugh quite loudly too. Of course sf will probably claim that she was responding to a 'recent post' - which makes it all OK in her book. <snork> I just find her double-standards very amusing, but can't speak for anybody else, of course. -- Cheers Chatty Cathy |
