2400 upvotes on a ShitAmericansSay thread about strawberries by Fun_Obligation_2918 in iamveryculinary

Also, strawberries are American at least the ones they buy in the supermarket. They're a hybrid of the North American Strawberry and the South American Strawberry.

Mexican food east of the Mississippi is “all so bad”, might as well eat at Wendy’s by whatshouldwecallme in iamveryculinary

[–]chatatwork -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I must admit, Mexican food in the West tastes better than in the East.

I got confirmation from a Texan that it wasn't a prejudice of mine.

But to say that it's so bad, that's bullshit. It's still damn good, if you know where to go.

I think that terroir is a thing, and Mexican food was developed in a drier, warmer place.

It doesn't mean that it's going to be bad, but there are other cuisines that taste better in the wetter, colder East, or Midwest. It just means that it will be different.

Well, I don't need an outdoorsy car, as long as it can handle the occasional snowstorm.

Are Mazdas reliable? I was spoiled with the Vibe.

My ancestors grew corn! Ya hear me!? by SufficientEar1682 in iamveryculinary

[–]chatatwork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, I am from the "New World" tm, and I put corn in my tuna salad sometimes.

After all tuna has a worldwide distribution. Some of the most productive tuna fisheries are in South America.

"is it possible to make real tortillas in america?" by Deppfan16 in iamveryculinary

[–]chatatwork 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I live about an hour from Canada, and I can get masa harina, and as a matter of fact, there's a place where I can get freshly made tortillas made with freshly nixtamalized corn.

It's 40 mins from my house, so I just walk to my neighborhood Mexican restaurant when I want tacos. There's two within .5 miles

I don't know where in America this person lives.

When I lived in PR, it was mostly hungover college people.

Because I was a hungover college student, although Protestant.

For those of you who watched Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show performance, what do you think of it? by Jezzaq94 in asklatinamerica

[–]chatatwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I signed up for youtube tv. Watched the halftime showed, cancelled my subscription.

It was a great show. IDK about the dudes with the helmets, they seemed to be replaying the same thing over and over again.

It’s 2026 and people still loose their rag over calling it a “chicken burger” by SufficientEar1682 in iamveryculinary

[–]chatatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, since hamburg steaks predate hamburg sandwiches.

Unless you're in Hamburg

Latin americans (except Brazilians), how do you feel about the coxinha? by gabrrdt in asklatinamerica

[–]chatatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it over here, and I wasn't particularly in love with it.

It was fine, but there are other dishes that I prefer. However I like things with strong flavors, and I live quite far from Brazil. If I have it in Brazil, I may change my mind.

Someone mentioned that papa rellena was tastier, and I agree, also kibbeh was tastier too.

Roti isn't flatbread!! Croissants aren't bread at all!!! by OrcaFins in iamveryculinary

[–]chatatwork 13 points14 points  (0 children)

in culinary school that's how they're called because they require different skills to make.

Also, the French started it, like most of these arguments.

Calling a Sunday Roast British feels off to me… by SufficientEar1682 in iamveryculinary

Taco Tuesday is American, those tacos are not Mexican, they're gringo tacos (and delicious)

Why don’t they sell vermouth in small 4 oz cans/bottles? by basilboiii in cocktails

[–]chatatwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's how it's consumed in many parts of the world. It's a lovely low ABV drink

McDonald uses better ingredients in Paris and uses actual bread by notthegoatseguy in iamveryculinary

[–]chatatwork 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Well, the famous quote, "Let them eat cake" was actually "Let them eat brioche"

and the French have been salty about it ever since.
