I can hardly blame them. I couldn’t find authentic Tex-Mex in Michigan to save my life, just horrible imitations.
When we were totally sick of hamburger helper, tuna and ramen, and actually had a few extra bucks, we would go to a chain place nearby called First Mate-they served battered and fried something they claimed was shrimp oysters and fish, with sides of hushpuppies ff’s and coleslaw-it was seafood in name only, but it had generous helpings, cost $2.99, included a soda or tea, they had a bar that served beer-and it was a change from the dorm food-taste was in the eye of the beholder in those times...
