Everybody says that Taco Bell isn't real mexican food. Then what is?
Taco Time
The most successful laxative sold in America.
>>7748667
It's a taco place.
In the same way a place that sells barbecue is just a barbecue place not an "American restaurant" because America has no culture.
It's not connected to Mexican culture so it's simply a taco place.
I don't understand why this is a question.
>>7748710
mexicans only eat tortillas though
>>7748667

>>7748710
>because America has no culture.
haha, go to bed yuropoor
>>7748667
It's American food.
>>7748667
Tex Mex.
Taco bell is shit x
>>7748710
Every place that has existed has a culture.
>>7748679
they changed the formula of the spices to prevent that....
>>7748716
hes right tho.
the united states have no culture of their own.
everything is brought from other places:
german cooking = fried tenderloins or foods
mexican cooking = everything on a tortilla
french cooking = bakery
italian cooking = takeout pizza and pastas
chinese cooking = takeout noodles
i guess the only thing America has is bbq, but emphasis on lots of sugar in cooking.
>>7748794
>i guess the only thing America has is bbq
Slow cooking meat over fire is hardly a new or unique invention.
>>7748794
what about filly cheese steak samiches
what about newyork hot dogs
what about cali pizza , wierd stuff that
what about that pizza from chi town , deep pie kinda wierd but whteva
but finally what about native american cuisine?
those fuckin injun make a good deep fried taco!
if america has no culture explain the chicago pizza meme

creole, cajun, southern food in general, all those regional dishes
and that's just the food. The whole world consumes american culture on a daily basis, they just don't realize it because it is so ubiquitous. I no longer give you permission to listen to American music or watch American films and TV shows

i am ashamed of my country sometimes in the culunary arts because you can tell whats american and what isnt based on how much brown sugar is used in things, like baked beans, pork, chicken and other meats. Its gross.
>>7748834
everything you have listed is based off of non united states cuisine. with the exception for native American which unknown to a whitewashed society and is surprisingly not commercialized........yet.

In b4 you live in a flyover state
It's mexican-inspired American crap fast food.
In actual mexican food hard taco shells aren't a real thing, ground beef is rare, and the cheese is completely different.
Taco Bell is to mexican food as, say, mac and cheese is to italian food. The difference is that no one markets mac and cheese as italian. But that's it. Marketing.
>>7749042
Tomatoes are central and south american, specifically.
You also forgot the absolute insane love germans and the irish have for potatoes, also native to the americas.
>>7749424
to be fair, Taco Bell doesn't market itself as authentic fare either. Literally the only mention is in the Mexican pizza, which is on the way out.
>>7748860

there's something called flautas, a fried rolled tortilla with the stuff inside
also i dont know how people can eat yellow "cheese" with ground beef
>>7750604
it tastes good. real mexican food is still better but so is a real burger compared to a mcdouble. The real issue is the hard shell tacos. those things are retarded.
>>7748863
36 hours in NOLA (getting away from the tourist areas) would prove anyone who claims the US has no culture wrong ten times over.
>>7748667
What is Taco Bell? A corporate creation based on the popularity of Tex Mex food. Just like Chipotle is a corporate take on Cali Mex. And Pizza Hut is a redneck adaptation of Italian American pizza, with a lot of effort put in to make it seem as little Italian as possible.
While these foods influence cuisine I would argue they are more pop cultural creations than part of any traditional cuisine. The Quesarita and the stuffed crust pizza did not arise from any cooking traditions, but in the corporate test kitchen in response to various marketing research and other pressures (like the dairy lobby encouraging fast food companies to use more cheese). So these foods are "American cuisine" in the same way the latest Hollywood blockbuster is American culture.
>>7749477
but I love the mexican pizza. Its like a shittly put together taco.
>>7748667
Taco Bell is shit, but authentic Mexican food is still disgusting as all fuck.
>>7750604
nice rolled tacos...
>>7751393
Said no one ever.
>>7748682
for what purpose
And what is it supposed to be?
Taco bell was started by Glen Bell, wanting to open a drive in after world war 2. Another person in his unit(of Mexican decent) said he could make a bunch of money selling tacos, No one in the area had ever heard of them before and it was a hit. People in town gave him the name Taco Bell

>>7748883
That's a false equivalency that like 90% of the people in this thread are making but you outright state it so ill respond to you.
You don't have to invent something to have it be a part of your culture.
many different places adopt others things and run with it and make it a sort of tradition.
If a majority of southern americans started eating Jamaican food it would become a part of their culture.
>>7748682
this could only be made better if after all that work she threw it right into the trash can. jesus christ no one deserves this kind of food.

Mexican food is a fucking hoax. Mexicans are so autistic about the "authenticity" of their food, they'll say shit like the beans came from a can the entire dish isn't authentic mexican, or its a flour tortilla not corn so it's not a real taco

>getting mad at America for being more recent and people bringing their food over
Do you also get mad at any other country that had people come in and bring their food with them? Or is it okay because it happened thousands of years ago instead of hundreds, and also they don't rule the entire fucking earth after such a short amount of time?

It's a Mexican inspired reconstructed hamburger.
Behold the transformation from burger to Taco Bell:
Bread = Shell
Meat = Same
Toppings (tomato, lettuce, cheese product) = Same
Mayonnaise = Cream
Ketchup = "Hot Sauce/s"
Everything else they sell is a variation on this. Whit people are the only ones I've seen order nasty crap like all bean burritos. White are the biggest beaners I know.

Not saying consumerism is a really good thing but it is a part of American culture which is found all over the world and have given us many of the modern amenities that we take for granted
Also people don't open BBQ places and call them American restaurants cause people would probable expect burgers fries shakes and Americanized continental food not pulled pork and brisket

You're both being legit stupid. America easily has a unique culture. It's derived from other cultures, although every culture derives from others.
What you guys really mean is that American doesn't have "sophisticated" culture or something like that, but that's probably not true too.
Some of the obvious parts would be military and gun culture, which are there own thing, adequately distinct from military and gun culture in Europe, for example.
This applies to food as well.

The local Indians are credited with harvesting and consuming crawfish before the Cajuns arrived. They would bait reeds with venison, stick them in the water, then pick up the reeds with the crawfish attached to the bait. By using this method, the Indians would catch bushels of crawfish for their consumption. By the 1930s, nets were substituted, and by the 1950s, the crawfish trap was used.
>>7756252
but would they cook them in the exact same way with the same spices? cause if your gonna argue that if someone has eaten it before it can't be part of your food culture.
Then everyone should stop claiming any food is part of any culture other than Sumerian
a Baguette?
that not french its bread so its Sumerian
wienerschnitzel?
bro you clearly don't know German food cause that Sumerian they ate veal first
Crawfish?
the natives at it first so despite Cajuns preparing and spicing it in a different way its clearly native food
>>7756236
wasn't trying to bring up anything "good." The other posters don't understand what "culture" means. Gun culture in the US is a very good example of distinct culture. Whether you think it's "good" or "bad" is an entirely separate issue.
>>7756278
>with the same spices
Seeing as how there are few spices that weren't already growing in the new world, yes more than likely
At least originally, because as better, safer, and more evolved cooking techniques came about the tastes and cooking changed too
It's not as if the average immigrant had access to all of the flavorings, herbs/spices, vegetables that we do today (and definitely not as easily)
tl;dr: it's a moot point because current boils wouldn't have tasted the same as the original boils

>America has no culture of its own people
Like other people said it is impossible to not have culture, the fact that there is no one culture of food is American culture

I concur. The U.S of today has no "tradition". What these other guys refer to is pop culture.
>>7756565
Older people know about living through hard times, and aren't cunts like foodies today who harp and moan about authenticity. Like if you watched the "Chinese people eat Panda Express," youtube clickbait. They understand that cheap and cut-corner isn't the same as terrible.
>>7756950
I watched both the Chinese and Mexican version of that, it's funny because the elders basically say while not authentic, it's not bad, and the young US born ones are the ones talking shit.

>>7757031
i heard from my anthropology teacher their food was very plain and bland before tomato sauces and pasta became popular. but i imagine alot of fish.
>>7757298
I wonder what was worse, lack of old world meats or lack of new world fruits/vegetables
they had nothing until smarter people showed up
these are real tacos. hard shell tacos like the ones from taco bell are an american fast food.
>>7754613
Have you ever had refried shit beans in a can masquerading as home made food? Maybe it doesn't negate authenticity of the whole dish, but it sure is nasty as fuck. I'm a white dude in south Texas and I'm picky about my shit too.
>>7757340

I doubt the average US born Mexican has a wide knowledge of Mexican food. Just what their family makes and what local restaurants have.
>>7758676
thats seems to be the "authentic mexican" argument as well. like they never had shitty food prepared by a mexican. Or acting as if they have some indigenous pin-headed mexican woman grinding corn in their kitchen to make masa for "authentico" home made tortillas.
>>7759044
It's authentic as long as it's prepared in an authentic style. Although parts of Mexico now are beginning to become more cosmopolitan in regards to cuisine.
>>7758866
works both ways...
I doubt the average Mexico born Mexican has a wide knowledge of Mexican food. Just what their family makes and what local restaurants have.
>>7759053
That depends though, like I said in this post
>>7759051
a lot of Mexican cities are more cosmopolitan and have a represent all of Mexico as well as the world in their food available.
And even some people in rural Puebla and Oaxaca now how to cook a wide array of things, which is why their desired as chefs in the US.

What makes you think it will take any less time for a woman to disrobe, urinate, (hopefully) clean herself, and clothe again in an open piss basin rather than a toilet stall?
The issues at hand are biological and social - not something that can be fixed by budget civil engineers who think they are progressive messiahs for having a woman use a "urinal".
>>7759257
Urinals take up less space than stalls. That's why sometimes in bars, you see the women's bathroom has a way longer line than the men's.
And once women figure out how to piss standing up, it won't be a problem at all.
>>7759263
I think there will still be social stigmas surrounding the entire scenario that need to be overcome before the proposition would ever become efficient.

>>7759267
Well at first, yeah, but eventually I think the social stigmas would fade away if female urinals became commonplace. I'm sure many drunk chicks would have no problem using those things.
I wonder how they're supposed to be used though, like do they hover their ass over them or do they stand in front of them the way a guy would?
