[Booma]

THP liking that idea. Sounds good.

Love it when a mexican place gives you a plate full of random goodness

I am in fo sho. I have no idea what I am going to do, but I know it will have green rice.

 

[Scovie]

How stringent are the rules going to be about the origins of said food?
Almost all of Mexican cuisine can be trace to Spain and Europe.
Even the almighty wikipedia acknowledges the origins of Mole are disputed.
(Even tho we all know it came from Puebla. lol)

 

[JayT]

Someone is planning on doing a lot of Research!!!

I sure hope so for your sake.

 

[JayT]

Oh hell, some green rice, a fish taco, I mean wrap, I got this.

No, tacos and burritos is about it. Don't bother to JayT (aka RESEARCH ) anything. All ethnic Mexican cuisines always come back to feesh tacos and burrrritos.

Scovie you are overthinking this one bro, Mexican food is Mexican food not matter who influenced it. If we did Cajun you'd be asking if that includes French-influenced.

No, see, you guys nit-pic sometimes, then other times you roll with things. Hard to know which way the wind blows sometimes. In Texas, it's only really been fairly recently that places have actually called themselves "Tex-Mex" - used to be every restaurant with cuisine even remotely close to Mexican just called themselves a Mexican food place. But a while back I posted a dish I consider to be Tex-Mex, but you razzed and said it belonged in the Mexican thread, not the Tex-Mex thread. And Tex-Mex places do up Cinco de Mayo just as much as Mexican places do. So yeah, is this "Cinco de Mayo anything Mexican-influenced goes", or is this "Cinco de Mayo it had better be only traditional Mexican"?

 

[grantmichaels]

pot meet kettle, but yeah, totally ...

 

[JayT]

Looks like I am going to have to add to the Rules for Cooking and Posting on THP thread.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Hey geeme I made a post after calling it Cinco de Mayo, see post 399, it's Regional Mexican, and is explained in that post.

 

[grantmichaels]

I'm finally going to get to take a stab at mexican beyond tacos/burritos/chimi etc - even have a saved message from Sum describing some cool shiz to try ... for instance, i've never even had chimichurri (?sp), let alone made Sum ...

Ah - somehow missed that. Thanks!

 

[Scovie]

You might want to re-think the chimichurri Grant. That is South American (Argentina).


This is going to be a Throwdown to beat all throwdowns.
Ya hear me?
