Tex-Mex is characterized by the ubiquitous side dishes: "Mexican rice" and refried beans. A lot of the dishes have a cheese sauce on them. The meats used are commonly white-meat chicken, pork, or beef. Offal is rarely seen in Tex-mex but is very common in actual Mexican food.

Tex-mex tacos are typically made with a hard shell, whereas tacos in Mexico are nearly always made using soft tortillas.

Tex-mex taco: hard shell, sour cream, meat, red salsa, shredded mild cheddar cheese.

Mexican taco: soft tortillas (often two), offal, pico or other raw vegetable. No cheese.

Tex Mex is stuff sort of like what Mexicans know how to cook but they use ingredients common in America and they sell foods to appeal to the gringo. And it's fucking delicious.

Mexican uses more ingredients, uses more flavors, has a better food culture like street food, comida corrida (which is like an italian food structure) and fine dining. Mexican food has seafood which is basically non existent in tex mes

How are you even supposed to eat Mexican food that's wrapped up in or placed on crunchy shit without making a mess?

Isn't it just a taco that you can't fold? So basically a shitty hard shell taco that's more difficult to eat? Sounds like shit.

Tostadas focuses more on the filling

Beer and Champagne both go with lobster.

I love lobster, but it has to been cooked right. Boiled or steamed lobster is the most boring way to eat it, and I really think it's one reason why some people hate lobster.
The most luscious way to cook it is to butter poach it, but that takes a lot of butter and isn't the healthiest option (but it's damn good).
You can also poach it in other cooking liquids, like seafood stock and white wine, or miso broth, or court bouillon.
Grilled lobster is excellent too, (and has numerous flavorful basting sauce options) as is chili-garlic roasted lobster.

I live in Seoul

Sundae is good

Samgyeopsal (Korean babeque)

If you like spicy food I highly recommend 오삼불고기 (osambulgogi)

Go to Itaewon if you want to be surrounded by scum of the earth foreigners who liked being overcharged for shit food and clubs

Go to Hongdae if you're under 30 and actually want to have fun

Gangnam is nice, I live there, go to garosugil (가로수길) for nice hipster vibe.

Live Octopus in gangnam if you feel like it

Avoid all bread and western style food it's all utter shit

1) You're fucking retarded holy shit oh my god just make chocolate covered pretzels
2)You'd add it to the other dry ingredients

Just because I want to make something I've never had before doesn't make me retarded.
Would it fuck up the taste somehow or what?

>>7948220
I'm already vomiting, OP.

I completely coat my chicken whispers in peppy syrup.

Shoving various food items up my ass.

Yellow Squash has probably been the most enjoyable thus far.

Only on american style mex food. Otherwise not really.

I only eat tacos with just meat and cheese, maybe some olives.

>right
That was unnecessary and a poor example of English grammar.
The question mark should have come after 'burritos'. The use of the word 'right' is surplus and indicative of prolixity, in itself a bad thing.
6/10 for trying though.

It is pretty unhealthy, sorry to say. It's about the least healthy fast food there is IIRC.

Still incredible though, I'm tempted to get one myself tonight now. I will need some alcohol in my system though.

>>7948294
I ordered it (and some beers) so I'm bumping for doner kebab chat now.

are you autistic or just stupid?

"actually frying" would require immersing your food in hot oil, something which this device is expressly designed not to do.

>>7947941

Precisely.

It works really well for fries, just be sure to let the heat element warm up first. For snacks...It works aswell, they are cooked but they won't get that boiled skin you're used to.

Overall it uses almost no oil at all since it just circulates it around, even then it just takes a tablespoon of oil.

Usually only in baking or making jam.

>>7947577

Rum is like a staple in my baking.

>>7947574
dont do that.

vodka has no flavor, except ethanol.

vinegar is what is added to borscht.

as to your question, i add bourbon to my chili.

Make a smoothie with the greek yoghurt and some protein powder if you wanna get more protein. Add whatever fruit you want. I would use frozen strawberries/mangos/kiwis.

It's also good to put a little honey/peanut butter in greek yoghurt if you don't feel like going through the process of making a smoothie and cleaning the blender afterwards.

You could also mix the greek yoghurt with some cottage cheese and put it over sliced tomatoes.

I make a multipurpose avocado-cilantro sauce with an ample amount of greek yogurt weekly. It is a delicious, multipurpose sauce utilizing a good deal of Greek yogurt:
>5-6 small/med hass avocados
>1 bushel cilantro (more to taste)
>3 cups greek yogurt
>1-2 tablespoons olive oil
>2 cloves garlic
>juice of 1/2-1 lime (to taste and as a preservative)
>1 tbs salt
>1 tbs black pepper
>1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
Blend everything in a food processor until smooth and you no longer see avocado chunks (alternatively, slice the avocados prior to adding to the processor)
>wala

I usually add a bit of honey to mine. Granola if I have itbb

Anything Italian.

Also I really like making a slaw with basil and cilantro (plus rice vinegar, lime and salt) and putting that on tacos and burritos. Doesn't sound awesome but I assure you it is

Pistaccio pesto

Tomato soup served with grilled cheese sandwiches.

I think they all come pre-seasoned.
Just heat up some oil in it and swirl it around

They have wok pans at Ikea for like 20 bucks, get one of those

>thing I don't like

If you don't like bitter beers, you don't like bitter beers. Buying into the backlash is just as faggoty as buying into the hype.
