The ignorance exhibited on this board is astounding at times.
I see no reason to explore when I have access to truly great (Italian and American) dishes. Most Latin foods I have tried, at best, were ok. But in comparison to my favs are not even in the same universe. I simply stick with what I know and love. I'm sure I would find "fajitas" more appealing if I were stranded in some third world latin country some place, so long as the local pharmacies carried plenty of Pepto Bismol.
