Mexican Feast!

[mroliver77]

My sister married a Mexican guy a long time ago. She had to learn to cook for him. She lives on the other end of the farm.
She just dropped me off some supper and I am in greasy heaven! Beef skirts, chicken, refried beans, spanish rice, grilled peppers, grilled zucchini(I think), grilled onion, flour and corn tortillas! Oh and that salad stuff with guacamole, tomato and cilantro. I am stuffed but thought I would share with you'all.

Good Looking Meal, the kind I liked when I lived in El Paso!

The first time I traveled to Mexico on business I was concerned about having to eat the food there. I should have been concerned, I got addicted to it. Just can't get enough of it.

Yessir, that looks real good. I haven't had supper yet, so guess what I'm going after.

I grew up on a farm. We had and butchered cows. I had never heard of "skirts" before. When I found them they were cheap but man are they tasty! Since more people know of them the price went way up! Bummer.

What could make a single restaurant meal so memorable that you can recall it 30 years later? And the place? It was 1982 or 1983 at a little wide place in the road on (I think) the Colorado River in Utah called Mexican Hat. My late wife and I were on vacation and had not eaten since we took in the Grand Canyon. We walked into the restaurant hesitantly (it really was not that inviting in terms of looks, but the sign read restaurant). We looked at the menu, but didn't understand it because it was all new to us. I looked across the way and told the waitress "I'll have what that guy over there is having." My wife said she would have the same. Great food with that south-of-the-border flavor that I still remember. Big Boomer

When I was a kid there were 3 pieces of the chicken that were not worth wasting your time chewing on.

One was the part that went over the fence last and the other 2 were the wings.

Now look what happens with a lot of publicity some creativity etc.

Darned stuff we threw out now costs more per # than the best steak.

Next thing will be carefully cut out that puckering ring install a stick of parsley sprinkle on bread crumbs and hot sauce and price them at $2.00 EACH

By the way mroliver77 what time did you say supper was?

[TheGrimReaper]

Looks like a plate full of HEAVEN there!!!!

mroliver77, there is nothing better than Good Mexican food, and nothing worse than Bad Mexican food. I am lucky here in the southwest. There are many places close by that I can get good Tex/Mex meals.

That is one reason that I have to take so many pills, but I still enjoy it!

My county is considered the tomato capital of the world. Therefor we have had a lot of migrants. Many stayed and have become part of the people here. So I get lot's of chances to eat Mexican food right at their table! We are a real mixed bag of heritages here and the food is great!
I dont even want to talk about blood pressure.

J are you up around Sandusky and the Heinz plant? I spent a summer working up there a long time ago.

The Spanish Rice & Refried Beans are the best thing about Mexican cooking. I still wonder why southern cooks didn't develop them? Throw in a hunk of Cornbread & I'm in heaven!

Oooh yeah!! Nothing like a good churrasco! And if they serve it with some chimichurri? MMMMMmmmmmmm!

Bill I know what you mean. I had a aunt that said that last part over the fence was her piece of fried chicken no matter what she referred to it as the juice box.LOL I had a uncle that sent his girl and her boyfriend to buy chicken on day to BBQ on the grill talk about a P.O.old man when they returned with #10 of wings.

I have been spoiled living in New Mexico and Arizona my whole life, grew up eating it and didn't know there was anything else!
Some of my best recipes came from a Chinese friend who owned a small market, and some of the best Mexican food I have had was from Chinese cooks.

[pmeisel]

Some of the best Mexican food I have eaten was in Genoa, Oh (OH 163 and OH 51) and in downtown Port Clinton, Ohio near the charter docks. Both my kids and I had school friends whose families originally came to pick, and stayed.

I'm gonna have to cook down a hog head and make some tamales.
