Chinese-Mexican near my old apartment in queens had the saddest tacos ever. Tortilla, melted american cheese slice, and a few bits of ground beef. Yuck even when drunkSuperJail Warden wrote:

One thing I noticed regarding non-Mexicans making Mexican food is that they usually fuck up when it comes to how the beef taste or its texture. Mexicans I guess season it well and know what type of beef to buy.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:
i mentioned in the liquor thread that i had quesadillas in Taiwan one time. It was...interesting. Every component was there, but it wasn't mexican food
One of the best meals i've ever had was at an Italian restaurant in Thailand. They own a farm in the countryside and grow/raise most of their food. Try the rabbit risotto!
That reminds me of my New Yorker dad who bought a "New York style hot dog" in Florida when he briefly lived down there. According to people in Florida, A New York style hot dog is a hot dog on a slice of wonder bread.Jay wrote:

Its sad that most Americans will never know what an Italian pizza is like.SuperJail Warden wrote:
It's sad that the only pizza some people in this country will ever know is Dominos or Pizza Hut which is nothing like New York style Pizza.
There are plenty of awful pizzas here in Italy too. There is a large consensus that if you want to eat the real good pizza you have to go to Naples, although there are some very interesting regional variants.RTHKI wrote:
I had Italian pizza but it wasn't amazing vs New York or Chicago. I love all pizza.
I like pineapple on my pizza, but not on all pizza.*Cryst4l^Dr4g0n* wrote:

Btw, any US pizza is considered inedible here.

i think the difference is the simplicity and quality of the ingredients.RTHKI wrote:
I only had pizza twice and I was only in Florence but that's a bit silly. The bar for food here is a lot less I can buy a frozen pizza for 2 bucks but I can also get something close to Italian for 20-25.
One pizza I had wasn't much different than something you could get here. The other I've never had an style like it and was among the best pizza I've had. Other favorite pizzas include the local college pizza place and a vineyard in New York state owned by some Italian hippie.
