Same with Argentinian So what you are trying to say is that Mexican food is at least the 5th best food in Latin America after Peru, Cuba, Colombia and Argentina. Ok gotchu.

I Good question actually, I wonder if they were thinking of papa johns and olive garden Having said that I kinda hate proper Italian pizza but a really good pasta dish can be life changing OT: I like Mexican food but I barely ever eat it.

Beyonnaise Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I think a distinction is that I dislike mediocre Mexican, but love good Mexican. Pasta on the other hand is more reliably good if I'm just cooking basic Barilla, though every so often I'll go to my fav authentic Italian restaurant where I know the Italian owners.

ariananext Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 There's no such thing as "italian food" outside Italy, many things americans consider italian don't even exist/aren't popular here, such as Alfredo pasta or chicken parmesan or whatever.

That's interesting and I'm super curious, may I know said restaurant? I've once done a project in uni about italian sounding food around the world, I just love to be an italian food critic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breathe On Moi Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 italian food is honesty so fattening and carb overloaded, there’s no way to edit. mexican food is versatile af and you can edit to fit your diet if need be, it’s always giving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
