@threat @mushroom_soup @Darbzilla @Sui @Billy_Hughes Are you from the States? It's just about getting the right ingredients. I have made my own taco seasoning for a while, but I still like using store bought sometimes. A good trick to make blackened chicken for a salad or quesadilla is fresh lime juice and enough heat to sear it to the surface. Sometimes I'll do that first to seal in the juices and then pressure cook or bake pan fry depending. Rice is just like making a pilaf except you add in tomato paste mixed in water for the cook down, or raw tomatoes if you have the ingredients. Things aren't as fancy as they seem, it's just simple techniques.

It is the worst of both worlds.

@Jonaschuzzlewit @mushroom_soup @Darbzilla @Sui @Billy_Hughes @threat You're just getting rid of the least appealing parts of Mexican food with it imo. Don't need to use cornflour for everything because wheat grows in America and it's softer and better tasting. Also I've never heard of "wheat demons", have you? Corn on the other hand...

I only found out what Texmex was a few months ago, I'd heard and read the words before but never thought more deeply about what it actually was or meant.
I believe it's Texan cuisine which has some similarities to Mexican

@Jonaschuzzlewit @mushroom_soup @Darbzilla @Sui @Billy_Hughes @threat Corn bread is pretty kino. I don't like cornflour tortillas overcooked in sauce because they become incredibly chewy and taste like cardboard. Tried making my own once and that was a catastrophic waste of time. Never again. But corn salsa and pico are good for sure. I don't do artificial cheese in my stuff. Monterey Jack or lately mozzarella because it knocks the spice down and has a similar melty consistency to Mexican style cheese. Hard to replace Mexican sour cream though. That stuff is fire 🔥.

You sound like lots of people round here but I died at the way you put it so I will allow it... But pico alone wins the day for me... Corn is way better than wheat if we are not talking bread and even then corn bread makes a mighty stand... Lol

I simply don't go to McDs anymore. DIrty, expensive, and diverse.
The kids wanted some after sunday school a few months ago. I used to love McDs after sunday school, but it was clean tasty and cheap, and everyone was White. I might see if I can take the sunday school kids to the bakery instead in the future

I do not recommend it but maybe it will be better there... I swear McDonald's was better in Europe 20 years ago

Is Taco Bell more authentic? Last time I had mexican was in Vietnam (saigon). It's pretty good
Just had a look at the website, not sure if it's worth the drive. Looks alright. Maybe I'll get an old el paso kit

@Jonaschuzzlewit @mushroom_soup @Darbzilla @Sui @Billy_Hughes @threat Taco Bell is my goyslop of choice. They have better macros than almost any fast food place while still being close to reasonably priced. Bean burritos are good, fresco style chicken and bean burrito if you really want to go lean, or even one of their "power bowl" things. I usually get one chili cheese burrito and one of the black bean and rice ones. So good.

Wow. My self esteem is through the roof, I feel so cultured. I only have the strong Roquefort and Stilton on special occasions, a couple of times a year most of the cheese I have is tasty (cheddar).
The big supermarkets don't stock Roquefort any more, I used to take note of when it expires then buy it 50% off the day before because no one bought it. Then they stopped selling it. But you can still get Stilton, I prefer Roquefort it's softer and stronger.
I bought a wedge of Roquefort for some friends visiting from Korea, they nearly fainted in delight, but my wife (also Korean) can't stand it not even a tiny taste. Those Koreans gobbled up the whole wedge, didn't even want crackers.
Cheese has become big in Korea, but derived only from the US influence. They put cheese on anything they can, they have a lot of very narrow variety.
Korean cuisine is amazing and rivalled by very few nations, so it's interesting seeing this recent discovery of cheese in Korea

Your cheese knowledge exceeds mine good sir I can't say I am familiar with either except by name. Never had any.
I do love real cheese. Bleu is like soap to me though so far

Yes that kind.. Velveeta etc.. I love a real cheddar. I love every real cheese except for blue and it's cousins... That just tastes bad to me

By fake cheese do you mean kraft singles? Josh from Kiwi farms has been saying bad stuff about chedder, but it's real cheese

Tortilla has to be right or don't bother. I have learned to view them as unnecessary carbs but still love good ones.... I simply loathe fake cheese since I started eating real stuff exclusively... Can't believe I used to eat it now

You'll get through it. If you like real aged cheddar, you'll enjoy bleu cheese sooner than later. It's super good with savory stuff or acidic foods. Basically once you can get over the initial flavor shock, you'll appreciate the subtleties of it and possibly start to like it.

@BowsacNoodle @Jonaschuzzlewit @mushroom_soup @Darbzilla @Sui @Billy_Hughes @threat Bleu cheese with Mediterranean olives and crackers is a delicious snack.

@LurkPerry @Jonaschuzzlewit @mushroom_soup @Darbzilla @Sui @Billy_Hughes @threat The meds really nailed it with their cuisine. Wine, olive oil, flat breads, lamb/mutton, good cheeses, tetziki sauce (idk how to spell it), filo dough... Spanish tapas and flan...Not to mention pasta and the other Italian dishes. 🤌🏻

I'm sure I thought it was awful at some point, now only if I deserve a treat will I get a wedge of Stilton, Roquefort is getting hard to find

@Billy_Hughes @mushroom_soup @Darbzilla @Sui @Jonaschuzzlewit @threat Feels like I need to try roquefort. I tried Limburger once thinking its bad smell was just a meme. No, it actually tastes like the smell of rotten sweaty feet. Horrific. 🤢

@Jonaschuzzlewit @Billy_Hughes @mushroom_soup @Darbzilla @Sui @BowsacNoodle @threat Try it in a quiche. I do one with dried tomatoes, spinach, and breakfast sausage that's perfect with blue cheese.

@LurkPerry @Jonaschuzzlewit @mushroom_soup @Darbzilla @Sui @Billy_Hughes @threat Have you heard the food news about Pico de Gallo? Cover the chicken breast for like 20 calories. Maximum flavor.

Try a smear on quality crackers. Stilton won't blow the budget and has all the key flavors of Roquefort. In Oz Roquefort cost twice as much as Stilton, and harder to find but it's softer and stronger

Ok I will try again. It has been a long time I kind of wrote it off
