mexican chiles provide such a unique depth of flavor. It really tastes like what their culture and land looks like its crazy. Plus they contrast flavor and texture well, very similarly to thai food. Most of the food is salty, fatty, savory, spicy and sour all at once. Contrasting flavors and textures are pretty much what make good food good. Also as far as I know that entire region jumped on the spice trade game faster than pretty much all the other continents besides asia. Also historically impoverished civilizations tend to make the most out of what they have. They figured out how to make pretty much every part of pig and cow taste atleast better than youd expect.

It has almost all the most intense/best elements of flavor in almost every dish.

>salt
>acid
>strong aromatics
>fatty meats
>spicy

Seafood is quite good too. I just love the flavor combinations and everything is so instant. You can make intense flavors in 2 minutes with a fresh salsa, it’s hard to compete with that instant gratification.

What I remember as chinese food growing up as a young kid in Hong Kong

>turtle/shark fin soup
>fried chicken feet
>pig uterus noodles
>fried rice with pork knuckle gristle
>unidentifed fish balls on a stick
>boiled dog meat
>one time, monkey brains

Americans have no idea how bad it really is. No one in china knows what the fuck beef and broccoli is or sweet and sour pork. Chinese food is disgusting. Literally the worst parts to eat of any animal. Makes sense because chinks are the race of humans closest to animals. They make disgusting noises when they eat, slurp everything, men in the streets lift their fucking wife beaters over their sweaty stomachs while laughing and chewing with their mouths full of food. Like what kind of idiot decided 2 sticks is the most practical way to eat grains of fucking rice. Starving Nigerians who eat grass have a better diet than the average chinese

You do realize that most of the Mexican population are mostly descended from Spaniards, right? Only about 19% of the Mexican population claims to be descended from native blood. Thus the food you're complaining about is the result of the Spanish. Indigenous Mexican food was probably way different. For instance, they probably didn't have rice, which is very common in contemporary Mexican food.
