I’ve never heard of Diana Kennedy before. I’ve eaten lots of Mexican food. She’s a Brit, a people who aren’t known for their food. Maybe that’s why she liked Mexican food.
I’m guessing she was considered an expert in Britain and in places in America who look to Europe for “experts”.
Me neither. I know of Rick Bayless, who also specializes in Mexican cuisine. He has a show about it on PBS. Surprised it hasn’t been canceled yet by the woke operators there.
“She’s a Brit, a people who aren’t known for their food.”
Oh, yes they are. Memorialized in a joke that’s older than I am:
“What’s the difference between Heaven and Hell?
In Heaven the Government is Swiss, the cars are German, the Lovers are Italian, the Cops are British, and the Chefs are French.
In Hell, the Government is Italian, the cars are French, the Lovers are Swiss, the Police are German, and the Chefs are British.”
