Won't be nice later when that spice engine starts up, back end mexican backlash, worst thing is, we are going to a mexican restaurant tonight, lets connect a tube to it and hang it out the window, wae'aye man I changed the bedding this morning.
Oh, NOES!
I'll be curious to see what you think of actual Mexican cooking (not tex-mex) if you visit the south west U.S.
It's not very spicy and there is no pasta.
I used to think I hated Mexican food, because it was always so SPICY! Oh, it made me sick to my stomach every time I tried to eat it. Then one day Rich took me to a REAL Mexican restaurant, and I was scared to order anything, but the guy there (one of the owners) said it was "traditional" Mexican food, not "American" Mexican food, and that it wasn't spicy unless someone asked for extra spice, so I tried some and LOVED it! That was my very favorite restaurant to go to after that. I never had anything there I didn't like. My special favorite was the fried ice cream for
dessert.

I even liked their guacamole, and I hate avocados, but they made it SO good.
The only other experience I had at a Mexican restaurant (run by real, actual Mexicans) was when I was in my 20s and the guy I was dating took me out for dinner after the drag races, and his roommate came with us. His roommate was Mexican, and he knew how I hated spicy. (He tricked me into eating a jalapeno once, by telling me they weren't hot and eating several of them whole... OMG, and I fell for it.) Anyway, it probably would have been a good dinner, but Juan (the roommate) told the cook, unbeknownst to me, that I liked extra spicy, and to load my plate up. Ugh. I went without dinner that night, those little pukes. The place was SO Mexican, they didn't even offer a burger option or anything. But after everyone was done playin' jokes on me, and I got to try REAL Mexican food, I found out it was good.
