/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>5783179
because if it isnt junk food i dont want it

bump
is economic food not able to be delicious for some reason
or does fancy plating make inexpensive ingredients worth charging an arm and a leg for

>>5783179
because it isn't?

>>5783211
nobody's arguing against u m8

>>5783211
Why not have both?

>>5783179
Yeah... it sure is overrated. Just ask the fucking billion of food trucks with mexican food that just opened up here

>>5783179
>burnt corn
what the christ

>>5783179
Because avocados are a fad. Also I was in mexico and had to stand in line to take the bus. What a bunch of hipsters.

Any food that the poors can afford is unsophisticated and shameful to eat.

>>5783265
Most of it isn't actual Mexican, or a mix of Mexican classics and tex mex

>>5783179
What are you talking about? /ck/ loves circlejerking about Mexican food.

>>5783324
>implying CHIPOTLE AND TACO BELL ARE MEXICAN again it seems

>>5783343
>implying

>>5783179
Its not.
Its only drowned under all the shitposting from wetbacks.

>>5783343
>implying that's what I was referring to

>>5783353
That reminds me, I need to make another Tijuana general tonight

>>5783179
Why do you feel that it's underrated?

I haven't seen that at all. Shit like chipotle sure is from idiots that think that's Mexican. The real stuff is certainly not underrated, I and many others think it's really really good.

Why do you think us Anglos underrated?

>>5783359
dont bother unless you plan to timestamp a majority of it

>>5783311
>mexicans making mexican food isn't authentic

>>5783381
hahahahaha, Ching Chongs make better Mexican food sometimes in NYC... that's a fact...

>>5783381
Most Mexicans like to cater to Gringos, just like Chinese like to have some chinese american dishes to attract fatties

>>5783359
>That cartel runned border shit town
nock yourself out man

>>5783393
but it has the best food in the world m8 :^)

>>5783381
no matter how many words you use ... it just does not work that way

>>5783393
Why is /ck/ always wrong?

>>5783419
Its a shame you have to live there bro.
When cleaning tables just remember to duck when the cartel arrives...

>>5783179
>Why is Mexican cuisine underrated in /ck/?

I don't think it's underrated. Seems pretty popular in most places and deservingly so.

>>5783435
no point in ducking when I don't have a head m8. . thanks for caring though. :^)

>>5783428
How the fuck does that prove that SHIT TOWN is in fact NOT runned by cartels laundering money?
Please explain dumb fuck.

Every person on /ck/ should own this book.

Is this going to be a new thing? Mexicans with an inferiority complex about their cuisine?

>>5783461

>How the fuck does that prove that SHIT TOWN is in fact NOT runned by cartels laundering money?

>muh opinions
You're assuming that anything you mention has any sort of face value. Tijuana and Baja in general caters to tourists before anything. So while you do hear about assassination every now and then, you'll feel much safer there than 80-90% of Mexico. Just a daily reminder that Tijuana is one of the most visited cities, if not most visited city in Mexico. This isn't the early 2000's anymore, Tourism is coming back and they're going to take advantage of that

>>5783478
>So while you do hear about assassination every now and then
Are you disregarding the facts nigger?
>Being this delusional
>Being this mexishit
Like i said its a shame YOU have to live in that shit town.

>>5783470
Probably.
There was a trip posting recipes and shit.
It got driven out by a plethora of shitposting by mexishits and wetbacks.

>>5783470
we dont care if you dont try our food and mire.
on 4chins nonetheless

>>5783489
I don't live in Tijuana.

>So while you do hear about assassination every now and then

This is the norm not just in Tijuana, but in Mexico overall. Poverty breeds violence.

You make it sound that it's only catered to Tijuana. San Ysidro is the busiest border line and it wouldn't be if wasn't as bad as you make it sound to be. Now replace Acapulco and Torreon and you'll get a different story. Tourism in Tijuana is at its highest in years.

>>5783505
W/E cartel shill.

>>5783390
Oddly enough the best mexican food here is a combo mexican/chinese food resturant

>>5783568

Asian and Mexican food have a lot of things in common , which is why fusion have been successful in the states and in Mexico. Korean tacos in California and Mexicali style chinese to name a few

>>5783311
Pretty much every thread involving mexican food involves a bunch of uppity mexilards complaining about tex mex and then posting the same google image search tacos al pastor.

>>5783387

>Chinese make better Mexican food than Mexicans
>Mexicans make better Chinese food than Chinese

what is the world coming to?

>>5783179
>Why is Mexican cuisine underrated in /ck/?

cause most of the people here are americans and they don't know what real mexican food is.

>>5783604
some of them even look the same

>>5783465
that bitch is a kike
keep that shit away like the plague

>tfw that Tijuanafag finally convinced me to go to Tijuana next month.

I hope I at least eat some marlin tacos before I get kidnapped and forced to become a drug smugler

Americans ruined its credibility.

>>5783179
>Why is Mexican cuisine underrated in /ck/?
You must be new here. If anything, it's the most overrated cuisine here that isn't Japanese. Actually, I'm almost certain Mexican ranks higher here.

>>5785653
>implying countries that aren't either America, France, Spain, Germany, Poland, or China have credibility
if you dislike mexican food, but have never really had it, blame your own shitty skewed and narrow point of reference
>tfw American
>tfw can have dishes from around the world by stepping out of my house and driving less than 10 miles

>>5785670
>tfw can have dishes from around the world by stepping out of my house and driving less than 10 mile
You think that's exclusive to America? Cute.

>>5783179
Because it's listed in the new york times, the most shit paper in the USA... do you really read that crap and take it as truth?

The funny part is that people read that shit and take it as truth.
GTFO!

>>5785670
>Poland
I can see the other countries, but keep dreaming, Polefag.

>>5785662
this is bait

>>5787509
No, THIS is bait.

try this

mexican cuisine isn't underrated here at all?

have you never seen the "food pics from mexico" threads?

I wish I could go to mexico and gobble down delicious foods without worried about being decapitated. Even my mexican friends tell me not to go, I'm a pale amazon so it's not like I could just blend in even though I speak spanish. I fucking love mexican food though.

>>5787518
that was difficult to watch lol

>>5785653
taco bell and even worse taco bell imitators have bastardized mexican food for the masses

>>5787519
You and your Mexican friends have now idea how Mexico really is. You will not be decapitated down here.

>>5783179

It's underwhelming compared to ME and/or Medi food.

>>5787518
>The dipshit on the left pressing slow as fuck
Well we know why he already has a bandaid

>>5783179
Well Noma's food looks like shit. Mexican is a step up. Charred corn instead of charred onions.

>>5789475
Said no one ever

Tacos > kebab

What's with the obsession with third world foods? Start a Haitian bakery and sell dirt cookies. You'll have hipsters lined up around the block.

>>5791053
>He only eats white people food

How boring

>>5783179
Because it's disgusting.

>>5789400
You mean improved.

>>5791053
>What's with the obsession with third world foods?
Mexico is hardly the third world. But to indulge your trolling, we now have more ingredients available to us than ever before, so we can cook a wider variety of foods than our predecessors. Also we have greater interaction with other cultures, so people are generally more open to trying different cuisines, instead of looking askance at anything that seems "ethnic".

Where are the really good cuisines? Many of them come from places with rich cultural histories, long growing seasons and easy availability of herbs and spices. Such places are frequently tropical or semi-tropical places still trying to catch up from the legacy of Northern Europe forcing Anglo-German style capitalism on them. Latin America, India and Southeast Asia all fit the bill, as do many parts of North Africa and the Middle East.

>Start a Haitian bakery and sell dirt cookies. You'll have hipsters lined up around the block.
Young urban people do tend to move into immigrant neighborhoods, because that's what they can afford. I'd wager many young people in Brooklyn would not go to an upstart Haitian place because they already have a their choice of good ones in or near where they live.

fuck off texas
your cheesy bacon laden food is trash

Doesn't matter how you slice it, Mexico is a third world semi-narco state. Food is excellent though, most developing nations have great food since the poor have to make shit meat taste edible. Same reason French cooking developed.

Like corn a lot more after seeing op's pic

>>5791747
>Same reason French cooking developed.
French kinda happened the opposite way. Given, the use of herbs was because spices were traded for business, and too expensive to use casually. The frugality that gave us charcouterie pretty much existed all over Europe, the French just did it particularly well.

But French cuisines differs from most other cuisines in that most of the classic dishes were popularized in a top down manner, instead of ground up. In France the people copied the royal cuisine. In most other places the royal cuisine was an elevated version of the people's cuisine. Much less so in France. Many French home cooking dishes happen to be simplified versions of "classiques" that started out as meals for the royal court.
