I haven't eaten Mexican food since Obama was in office. Do you?

Mexican cuisine consists of the cooking cuisines and traditions of the modern country of Mexico. Its roots lie in Mesoamerican cuisine. Its ingredients and methods begin with the first agricultural communities such as the Maya who domesticated maize, created the standard process of maize nixtamalization, and established their foodways (Maya cuisine).[2] Successive waves of other Mesoamerican groups brought with them their own cooking methods. These included: the Olmec, Teotihuacanos, Toltec, Huastec, Zapotec, Mixtec, Otomi, Purépecha, Totonac, Mazatec, Mazahua, and Nahua. With the Mexica formation of the multi-ethnic Triple Alliance (Aztec Empire), culinary foodways became infused (Aztec cuisine).

I mean, I eat at Chipotle but that is about as far as I go with it. It is funny to think about how people do tacos differently in different areas, depending on who is making them as well. I always thought adding cheese and lettuce was just the "Americanized" version. Just like Chinese joints do food you would not really find in China.

No. I am vegetarian, and make home-cooked meals at best. Sometimes I just eat the raw ingredients and what's still in a can. I can make anything taste like anything with the correct spices. I use to eat Mexican food, Japanese food, have used chopsticks, etc. But I got tired of bad service at nicer restaurants. Plus I got super sick last year, and had to purge it by going vegetarian and staying sober. Been sober and vegetarian ever since.

Yeah, it's been a while since I ate Mexican food. After I got some injera, I couldn't go back to tortillas. It's just not the same.
