And I don’t think most Americans realize how truly diverse authentic Mexican cuisine is. There are 31 states in Mexico plus the Federal District of Mexico City. Many influences on the cuisine.


Mexican cuisine is pretty amazing, there's a lot more to it than tacos, burritos and enchiladas. The sauces can be quite complex. Pati Jinich is a pretty good resource for an introduction to Mexican cooking.

We are starting to see more of the diverse nature of Mexican cuisine. Things like tlayudas, birria, puerco pibil, and aquachile are starting to become more readily available.

You insult someone else's post, and then say something like that. She was just barely getting by right.


JFC, read a book.

yes i have been to italy... and it was disappointing.


Then you ate at the Pakistani owned, tourist trap restaurants.

The food in Italy was amazing, just don’t go to the tourist areas or to a restaurant with a Pakistani (or any other non-Italian) behind the counter.

JFC yourself. Do you understand what the word “relatively” means? Read about her early life if you doubt me. Again, she wasn’t bringing an entourage of servants and staff to France when she was married off to Henry.

And I insulted the post because it’s regurgitated apocryphal bullshite.

And there it is...

Care to explain what you meant by relatively poor? Relative to what or whom?

Relative to the nobility into which she was marrying. Do you really think I meant that she was a peasant?

You’re the one who claimed that she brought her cooks with her. Have you read about her early life history, or are you just going by her last name?

You do know that she was orphaned at a relatively early age, right? Her city was also besieged and taken over, and she was almost offered up as a trophy to the enemy. She was treated as a pawn for marriage, and it was really luck that she ended up in France.

Lol. And there it is( as you like to say). When Catherine was 9 or 10, the Medici were overthrown (and she had been an orphan for almost as long by the way). Do you know what happens to a family that owns a large bank when they’re killed?

Tell me some more apocryphal stories that you’ve heard.

What would you find on a menu that would be considered fine dining in Mexico? I've always been curious having only eaten at your typical Tex-Mex places here in the South.
