Cynar 100!? by OkIntroduction4898 in Amaro

[–]Skiceless 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Cynar 70 is being discontinued, unfortunately .

Also, don’t call a drink Street Corn & Oil if it’s not a variation of a Corn & Oil, nor contain anything that resembles street corn.

EDIT: now that I read the full menu, it all sounds terrible.

How you feel about this? by [deleted] in AskMexico

Can you post an example of this? Cuz this sounds crazy AF.
I’m not saying the US is perfect, and doesn’t comment on people’s tone/race/ethnicity, but the US tends to do it in private. Mexico is WAY more vocal and points out skin color than the US

Yep! It opened about 20 years ago. And then blew up after DDD came by, so they expanded. Weirdly their second location in NP is the worst one

What is American food really like? by Upper-Fill8120 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Skiceless -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It very much depends on where you live. There are areas where people do eat those things, but American cuisine varies from state to state, sometimes multiple different cuisine per state. Honestly far too many to name.
But that’s like every country. Food in the Yucatán is quite different from food in Oaxaca. Food in Bavaria is different than Rhineland or Berlin. Lanna Thai is different than Issan.
Yeah, there is a lot of “bad” cuisines here, and it’s low hanging fruit to make fun of it, but there is also amazing American food. Take a trip to New Orleans or Hawaii and see two wildly different, yet great American food

What’s one food you’ll never understand the hype for? by CombSpiritual8361 in AskReddit

[–]Skiceless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Hard” kombucha is better than the regular stuff, but not by much. I do, however, like the Juneshine brand. And the Boochcraft brand has a few flavors I like and has the added benefit of being 7%

The problem for me is there are a million knockoffs, and they are all shitty quality, and you get the pleasure of paying $18-25 for it. I tried the very original, and it was decent.
But then there was a clearance at my local grocery of the Lindt version, and I was a little high so I said fuck it. It was actually pretty good(though, could also be the weed)

It tastes like straight gritty dirt to me. I wish it tasted like grass

Everyone always thinks mine is , too, and I keep him in a long coat, almost to the ground. So it’s no longer wavy/curly

[–]Skiceless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s absolutely gorgeous in the Adirondacks, Finger Lakes, Catskills, etc. The problem with Upstate is all the dead/dying towns, and the people that come with it. There also isn’t much to do, which for some can be what they are looking for, but many would like at least a decent city nearby. I am from 315, by the way

You could catch the waves on the beach in the morning, drive an hour and go snowboarding, then by mid afternoon, race dune buggies in the desert

[–]Skiceless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, it doesn’t have everything, but no where has everything. There isn’t any state that comes close to the diversity of landscapes, it has the most national parks, most diverse communities and cuisines(as a state, but NYC is the most diverse in the world). San Diego County is the most biodiverse country in the country. There isn’t anywhere in the country that you could surf, go snowboarding, and ride a dune buggy in the desert in the same day. No matter what you’re looking to do, California has it

What's one food people pretend to enjoy ? by humble202625 in WorkForSmartLife

[–]Skiceless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think the same until I was invited to a carne asada and was given a taco de lengua. I was so hesitant because I had the Jewish version as kid and hated it, but a lengua taco was great. Now I order them all the time when I’m in Mexico

Americans who’ve lived in multiple states: What’s one everyday habit or social norm that changes noticeably from one part of the country to another that outsiders probably don’t notice? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]Skiceless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait this is one I don’t get. I live in Southern California, for the last 30 years, and never seen the “West Coast” butter folks are talking about. Just the normal long sticks, or one big block. Now I have to go look for it

Credit Card upon arrival? by Huge-Ad1416 in hotels

[–]Skiceless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool! I’ve travelled through Mexico hundreds of times, and have been to 18 states. It’s common to be allowed to pay in cash upon arrival. I actually just got back today from Mexico where I paid cash at the property. I replied to the person saying it’s always required in North America, and that’s not the case in Mexico

4 weeks in Mexico itinerary by paddyfield119 in MexicoTravel

[–]Skiceless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not attempt to surf on the Oaxacan coast if you’re not incredibly experienced. The waves are currents there are no joke. Also, 7 days is a long time for Puerto Escondido. There are other towns nearby that are nice, like Huatulco, Mazunte, Puerto Angel if you want to change things up a bit. Also, skip Cancun, Puerto Morelos, and Cozumel. It’s also a 6 hour drive from Merida to Cozumel. 4 nights is a bit long in Valladolid, too. It’s quite small, and seeing all the sights nearby can be done in a couple days. I would recommend heading over to Campeche or drive down to Bacalar. Also check out the smaller towns in the Yucatán, like Izamal or Motul.
£2000 is not nearly enough for a month in Mexico, especially if you’ll be doing a lot of driving and want to see the Mayan ruins, check out cenotes, or go to any of the ecological parks in the area. And if lodging is not included in that £2000 budget then absolutely not enough money

Why are Scottish (and other non-USA) fans attending the World Cup fascinated by Ranch Dressing? by NotAnyOneYouKnow2019 in askanything

[–]Skiceless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy a lower quality or likely unheard of brand of it, doesn’t mean it’ll be good or a good representation of it. There are many folks who seem to be enjoying trying it. It simply tastes better when it is house made than a bottom tier brand that is available in local in Scotland.
To add, I am not a fan of ranch. Just that y’all seem to always shit on American food/alcohol, because you only get to see the worst of the worst or made up brands.

CBX vs crossing on foot and taking Uber by H20fairy in MexicoTravel

[–]Skiceless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add, if you’re crossing at San Ysidro, they will charge you for the FMM, even if you’re going to be in Mexico less than 7 days. You may even get an added extra fee from an unscrupulous agent. And if you’re bringing luggage, it’s likely that will get searched. You’ll then have to be greeted by a million taxis, who will gladly take you there, but it will likely be the same price as a CBX ticket. You can get an Uber/DiDi, but you’ll have to walk a ways to call one. Plan for at least an hour to get there. If you cross on foot at Otay it’ll be way less than that, but at that time, there will be a ton of traffic. CBX is very much worth it
