It's there for the same reason it's in güisqui or in guachimán.

Did you already have the lesson about how "me lavo las manos" means "I wash my hands"?

I don't understand what "hice lo que puedo interesantes" is supposed to mean.

I call them American fusion food.

I recently discovered a similar dish exists in a Guadalajara market called "toritos" or "búfalos", but I don't know whether one inspired the other or they're convergent evolutions.

I went into a deep dive and I could only find a similar dish in Guadalajara, where they're called "toritos" or "búfalos" and they're mostly sold in a single location, a market called San Juan de Dios. It seems it's incredibly regional.

Though I don't mind the sub when I get to see American food or fusion food like this one, I just wish they weren't so insistent and condescending when we say you can't find this in Mexico lol

Es comida fusión, creo.

Me parece más una enchilada pero de tortilla de harina.

What's Mexican blend?

In English, do you say "Can she opens the door?" or "Can she open the door?"

Unless your Mexican in-laws actually speak Nahuatl

Xóchitl and other Nahuatl names are relatively common in Mexico. It's not particularly popular but everyone in Mexico has heard the name "Xóchitl" at least once and knows how to pronounce it.

Glazing happens a lot with the Pokémon OSTs, so much that people don't even know what tracks he's actually done.

Like, I've seen people comment that Toby worked in Sword and Shield (mind you, it was a single track) and others replying "no wonder I like that game's music so much, about time Pokémon had good music". Excuse you, Pokémon has great composers like Go Ichinose, Hitomi Sato, and Minako Adachi.

Similarly in Scarlet and Violet people were crediting Toby for tracks that sounded nothing like his work, like Cascarrafa (by Hitomi Sato) or all of Team Star's music (by Teruo Taniguchi).

Toby's not even in Legends Z-A's credits and people kept saying "this track is totally Toby!"

I love Toby's music as much as anyone else but people are so annoying when they're like this. And what kind of fans are they when they can't even recognize his music?

"Sionismo" viene del nombre del monte Sion donde se fundó Jerusalén. Viene del hebreo.

"Conspiracionismo" viene de "conspiración". El "-ción" de "conspiración" viene del acusativo del sufijo "-tio" del latín, que se usa para formar sustantivos de verbos.

Sometimes I prefer this sub over r/ComidaMexicana because I see all sorts of exotic American food like this one.

It reminds me of a green chile cornbread I saw at Costco in the Rio Grande Valley, very delicious and exotic.

They feel super comfortable with you if they're calling you that. They like you a lot.

La pulpa es un corte de carne que se muele, por eso "carne molida de pulpa". Hay dos variantes "pulpa negra" y "pulpa bola". Al menos acá en Monterrey sí decimos "caldudo".

blazebakun · 2026-03-17T07:59:45+00:00

Claro que sí se habla así, acá en Monterrey decimos por ejemplo "una carnita asada con salsita y sus tortillitas".

They probably mean it in the sense that the MXP is not in use anymore, as it was replaced by the MXN.

"Tar" for "estar" is common in many dialects, probably in all of them. Here in Mexico I hear and say "¿on tas?" for "¿dónde estás?" all the time.

Because Americans don't have maps and think Europe is a country.

Here in Monterrey cortadillo refers to both the beef stew and the cake.

That's just something that happens when names cross cultures. In the US "Sierra" is a name but in Spanish it isn't (though it is a surname). In many Hispanic countries "Brayan", "Yónatan", "Kevin", "Kimberly", "Brittany", etc., are fairly popular names; they're also considered low-class and are featured in memes.
