I watched and insulting episode of Anthony Bourdain “No Reservations” where he did a border show. He crossed from Texas to Mexico and back and forth on his bike. He made fun of the local Texans and gushed over the authenticity of the Mexicans. He explained that in the late 1800’s many white Americans were crossing the border to shop and eat. A local shop owner cut up some tortias, put some cheese on it and served it to the tourists. They didn't eat them in Mexico, it was just for the “idiot tourists” (I suppose he wasn't an idiot tourist though).

So the next morning at breakfast, she tried to order French Toast. On a business trip to China one of the guys with us wanted french toast. He explained to our server(whose English wasn't very good)that you mix up eggs and milk, dip bread in it, fry it and add cinnamon. Boy was he surprised with what he got. He got DEEP FRIED BREAD, sprinkled with Cinnamon with an egg on top. We still laugh about that one.

I've had deep fried bread in England, I just find it greasy. Don't think I've ever seen it here in the US.

Maybe they’re hiring illegal, maybe they’re not. Assumptions are not your friend.

Actually, cheddar cheese is is white (or cream colored). They put coloring in it to enhance the perception of richness. Real cheddar tastes better.

Here is the best way to do this.
2 cups shredded Monterrey Jack cheese 1/2 cup cream or half and half 1/4 cup diced onions 1/4 cup diced tomatoes 1/8 cup minced jalapenos (the pickled ones are fine)
Melt slowly in a pan - stirring constantly over medium flame.
You can also substitute the Monterrey Jack for 1 cup American and 1 cup Cheddar - this will give you a yellow colored queso dip.

Theres no such thing. Nachos were invented in Texas. And Chimichangas right here in Tucson. And until recently all the Corona sold in America was brewed by Budweiser. Remember these things come Cinco De Mayo so you can celebrate the holiday in the proper Mexican way. And, actually, "Cinco de Mayo" is a minor holiday in Mexico itself. Making a big deal about it is actually an American thing.
Same thing in regards to Hannukah in Israel and St. Patrick's Day in Ireland.

Maybe theyre hiring illegal, maybe theyre not. Uh huh. I'm just absolutely sure that they check the papers of the Mexicans they hire and turn away those who can't prove legality.

Hey discostu - that’s difference between Mexican and Tex-Mex, no?
To: William Terrell
They very well might. Most of the legal Mexican immigrants I know have a serious hate on for the illegals, people who went through the trouble to do the paperwork tend to find people who didn’t annoying.
Of course most restaurant people say that Mexicans have pretty much taken over the back of the house in the whole industry. Doesn’t matter what the ethnicity of the cuisine is it’s probably cooked by a Mexican. So really you shouldn’t focus your boycott on Mexican restaurants which are probably owned by legals, but ALL restaurants, if you can’t trust some of them then you shouldn’t trust any of them.

Sort of, Tex-Mex tends to have a lot of very American/ Texan spices and concepts. Chili, Tex-Mex stuff always seems to find a way to add chili. And some nachos actually do use chili, I like them actually turns nachos into a meal (add meat to anything and it becomes a meal).

Try Kerrygold’s aged cheddar with the salt rind. Outrageous.
Expensive, but a little goes a long way.

Where do you get it? The best supermarket which sells specialty foods here is Kroger. I'll check it out.
