I know more about about Mexican food than 99.9% of the people

Explain queso to me.

>>8752656
Bitch, I'm whiter than a grain of rice in a glass of milk, but even I know how to make Pescado Zarandeado. It doesn't take much to learn cooking of other cultures, as you mexicans have proven by working in kitchens all over the US.

>>8752656
How do you make a taco, Paco?

>>8752688
Melted cheese with chiles and onions basically. Some people put salsa in it, some people put chorizo in it, some people put shrimp in it. Real chile con queso is served with tortillas, not chips, and is made with mainly asadero cheese (although some people also add oaxacan or queso quesadilla cheese)

Its not whether you know whether you know how to make certain Mexican dish is its whether you know what something is Mexican or not. I know some Mexicans who lived in Mexico all their life and see a Mexican dish which is unfamiliar to them/their region and they call it out for not being Mexican. This happens far too much and it happens on here as well.

>>8752707
wat? no queso is simply cheese. If he wanted you to explain queso fundido then he should have said so. seeing how he didn't you shouldn't assume what he is talking about.

Queso just spanish for Cheese. There are many varieties of cheese/dairy products in Mexico due to the Dutch/French/Lesbanese/Italian/Baja culture over here

Basically anything juicy and sweet that you can combine with water, the most popular are Jamaica, horchata and tamarind.

no.

Pic related is a tortilla. It's a piece of flatbread.

If you put a filling on it and then roll or fold it up then you have a taco.

>>8755051
Got it. So its basically the same.

>>8755117

No. An ingredient and a dish made using that ingredient along with many others are not the same thing.

No, they don't taste the same either. Adding a bunch of ingredients to a bland piece of bread certainly tastes different than the bland bread itself.

>>8755169
This.
Holy shit, what's not to understand?

No such thing as Mexican food except for corn. Mexican food is basically just Spanish food since they taught you how to cook.

>>8755476
More like, what food DOESN'T Spain have. They have everything and anything. You're forgetting that Spain was a major world power at one time, they sailed all over the world, and brought the foods they found back with them, while taking their own foods to other countries. Not to mention being a major gateway to Europe. Spanish food is incredibly diverse.

>>8755488

Mexican >Spanish

>>8755488
and yet you losee against the British just because Spaniards thought that having gold was more important that having factories and merchandise.

You're an ignorant fuck if you really believe that no where outside of Texas has queso fundido or chile con queso. You can find it in every single border state, from Texas to California. Like I said, you need to travel more. Get out of your mommy's basement and learn something. And, by the way, I don't live in Texas.

What the fuck are you even raving about? You don't even know what queso fundido is, you just think you do because your local folk wisdom holds "queso" to be synonymous with "queso fundido". They're not even similar other than having some dairy and the word "queso" in the name.

Let me break it down for you, Tex. Queso is just the word for cheese. If you ask anyone in Mexico for some "queso" they'll assume you mean FUCKING QUESO. As in CHEESE. Not a prepared "appetizer" (which makes everyone lose their appetite) consisting of microwaved kraft singles dumped ito a bowl with rotel brand canned tomatoes..

Fucking Lady Bird Johnson's zombie haunting this thread, I swear to god. Why are Texans so good at acting cocksure of their own stupid bullshit.

Pretty much, yeah.

>>8756582
You're so thick m8, you can't even defend yourself anymore. Everyone knows that word for cheese in spanish is queso. But if you weren't such a wooden headed beaner, you'd realize that people in the southwest colloquially use the word queso as a shortened version of "chile con queso" or "queso fundido" or whatever. You can keep acting like peacock with a stick up it's ass, but it won't change the fact that you are too dumb think rationally. At this point, I just feel sorry for you. You're just a dumb asshole. I'd tell you to educate yourself, but you wouldn't anyway.

Historical aphrodisiac in Mexico, it's typically fed to unsuspecting tourists by locals who then laugh at the distressed, horny white guy after. Sometimes it'll be pan-fried in areas near whorehouses to signal that there are cheap girls nearby due to its distinctive scent and historical association with the prostitution scene.

>>8756628
Millions of people say "I axed" when they mean "I asked", but when someone says "what's an axe", do you say "oh it's like a request"

And they may think they mean it's shorthand for "queso fundido" because of folk wisdom but that doesn't make it true. I may think I'm "caramelizing onions" when I soften onions in a pan for 10 minutes and millions of people may erroneously agree that this is what I'm doing, but that doesn't make it not wrong, or not stupid.

Get out of your Texas ''''cultural''''' bubble.

that's a southern thing bro. nobody in california uses queso to mean queso fundido.

Why is Tex-Mex so much better? Why do Mexicans eat bugs with chili and lime?

Tradition is to be understood, and then swiftly disregarded. The best food is the food that tastes and feels good to you, not food which is "proper"

>>8758096
interesting, so basically saying "queso" when you really mean a sort of mongrelized fake simply sara version of queso fundido is like saying "coke" and the waitress going "what kind of coke, we have pepsi, sprite, 7-up, limca, etc..."
