hoping this is b8 because no one on earth would willingly ingest this stuff. Unless they are a retarded spic of course.

this shit makes salsa slap different

>>16161684
usually goes with chamoy as well

>>16161684
mexican "food"

>>16161684
This shit sucks. Only uncultured white bitches eat this

>>16161684
Good with lime juice, salt, and hot sauce on radishes, jicama, bean sprouts, pic related. Broccoli on the other hand only needs salt and lime. Radishes don’t really need hot stuff either but it’s always good.

cmon anon....

got my fruit for the day :)

cashier at a gas station told me i should try tajin in some cucumber lime gatorade, but I haven't done it yet because i don't usually take the advice of mexicans

>>16161692
all it is - is dried and ground red chilies, sea salt, dehydrated lime juice

based spicy fruit enjoyers :) only a few understand the sweet, tangy, little spicy goodness of eating fruit with tajin or chamoy, some people just don't get it, they think spicy is only for savory foods. In any given case, seeing tajin used in savory food makes me cringe hard

>>16161728
that shit is not mexican food

Mexican food goes way beyond tacos and tamales, it's all about different flavor profiles combining perfectly, pic related is a seafood tostada with fresh shrimp, octopus, scallops, lime and homemade hot sauce, from la guerrerense, a great seafood place in Ensenada

>different flavor profiles combining perfectly
could you post a little more about this?

>this fruit is okay, but I really wish it tasted like salt and lime instead of fruit
>ahhhh much better

>bland fruit
>buy fruit elsewhere

wtf is wrong with you

>>16166264
Let's go back to the seafood example I was telling you guys about, it's a tostada, which is a crispy fried tortilla, it's a little bit salty but not much, also Ensenada is one of the best places in the world to buy seafood because you can get fish from either the pacific or the gulf of cortez, a lot of japanese places get their tuna and bonito from here, it's very fresh. Combine this freshness with lime, which cooks the seafood, a homemade salsa with peanuts and chile ancho, giving it that crunchy texture to combine with the soft texture of the seafood and ceviche, all of this is served on a tostada, garnish with avocado for a little bit of richness and pickled red onion for a little more brightness. I think it's something perfect. Very fresh, bright, beautiful and tasty.

Also just because I'm in the mood let me tell you a little bit more about the Baja California region which I'm from, just because I love it. It's also called the mexican mediterranean. We're at the same latitude as the mediterranean, so the weather is very similar, thus giving this land a lot of the qualities needed to grow great vines to make good wine, combine this with a thin strip of land between the pacific ocean and the gulf of cortez, so you also have a lot of seafood. Baja California also was a french colony at one point in our history so there is also a lot of french influence in this region, combined with our mexican heritage to make tasty food, you can get some incredible things here. Ensenada is considered one of the gastronomical capitals of the world.

>>16166377
What are some of the french influenced dishes there?

>>16166377
This guy knows his shit, never been to Ensanada unfortunately but I loved visiting Rosarito and San Felipe as a kid. Baja is fucking great and I'd love to move back home and be literally 10 minutes from it.

>>16166377
Speaking of french influence, Mexico has some great bread, both sweet and savory, this is spanish heritage from the conquista, which is also french heritage. Combine french and spanish bread-making techniques with mexican creativity and you get a huge variety of breads, with their own variations, from the king's crown that is traditionally eaten on january 6th to celebrate the coming of the three wise men, to the pan de muerto, to remember and celebrate those who have passed

>>16166390
Pescado al mojo de ajo, is a fish dish cooked in butter with lots of garlic, the oyster soup in ensenada also was part french influence with its roux base. Also the pueblo nuevo lobster is cooked in pig lard, butter and veggies. Tons of butter and lard is used here.

Pic related is a swordfish empanada.

great thread!

bump because I want to keep rambling

>>16166430
Are you that faggot who falsely claimed Mexicans think the north has better seafood than Veracruz and the gulf? Go fuck yourself.

>>16161684
>>16161706
What is this made with? Chilies?

This thread is a honeypot to ban beaners

>>16166411
Those are the breads we buy to hand out to the day laborers we picked up at Home Depot to build our fences

>>16167433
that's not me anon, I know you're insecure about your seafood, quit projecting

>>16167588
that's what they get for leaving illegally

bump

>>16161684
the virgin tajin vs. the chad tony chachere's

>>16168457
theyre pretty different

>>16161684
The new Dunkin’ Donuts mango drink has this on it. Never tried it though

When I visited CA a few years ago I bought a giant fruit cup from a stand like pic related for dirt cheap and it was so fucking good bros.

Wish I had one near me

>>16168464
yeah, the tony's tastes good

>>16168533
in stews and shit not on fucking fruit

>>16167690
no, that idiot genuinely kept talking about baja as if the rest of mexico looked up to it when they see it as a desert backwater.
dumbass refused to recognize veracruz as what mexicans first think of when they think of mexican seafood. fuck his dumb ranchero ass and yours for being a poofter.

>>16169360
take your meds anon I just wanted to talk about mexican food so gringos here won't think we actually eat this shit >>16161728
Only true mexicans can understand the deep complexity of the different types of mole, the beauty of eating a flor de calabaza quesadilla, a tlayuda, etc. You know what I mean

>>16169360
I mean it also depends a lot on where you grew up. I grew up in baja so when I think seafood I think about this place, Mazatlan, Ensenada, La Paz, etc. But I'm sure if you grew up somewhere more inner Mexico you would think of somewhere like Veracruz or Guerrero, they are very different types of seafood

>>16161684
This shit tastes OK on its own, but would ruin fruit. Just put a little bit of salt on it if it's lacking sweetness.

>>16169632
no u take your fuckin meds you fucking poofter

>>16169636
your wrong.

back to the original topic that tajin stuff on watermelon is pretty damn good.

>>16169666
exactly. fuck baja and all those poofter retards.

>>16169666
you ever tried it on an apple? drizzle some lime juice in there

>>16169684
homo

>>16169690
alright I just wanted to actually discuss food but it looks like I'm dealing with a retard right now

Haven't tried it on an apple; watermelon, cantaloupe and even strawberries is pretty good though.

>>16161728
that's hot plate Mexican food that flyovers consider authentico
