Vort Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I enjoy the occasional can (preferably cold) of Chef Boyardee, that it isn't particularly reminiscent of the actual dishes it claims heritage from doesn't mean it doesn't have merits. As far as the name, he Americanized it, the original Boiardi looks a lot more Italian than Boyardee... actually the latter almost looks Swedish for some reason.Seriously? Boiardi? I never knew that. Changes the pronunciation, too, from boy-are-DEE to boy-ARE-dee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I think pasties might be something other than what I know them as. Maybe I should say, I hope they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dravin Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) Seriously? Boiardi? I never knew that. Changes the pronunciation, too, from boy-are-DEE to boy-ARE-dee.Ettore Boiardi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaIt was an attempt to get Americans to pronounce it right, so I don't know if he pronounced it differently then how you'd expect (Throatwarbler Mangrove syndrome), if he figured that's the best he could expect out of his clientele, or if all of us are mispronouncing it.

JudoMinja Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 As far as a "Mexican" resturaunt with food that actually tastes like it's from Mexico, my parents have a favorite small family run resturant that they like to go to here in Texas called "Jalisco's". Not only does it actually taste Mexican, but you get large servings for a descent price. And... they make their salsa fresh every day. My parents love to go there just to buy the fresh salsa and have even canned some if it in their food storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john doe Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I think that everyone's opinion of what constitutes 'real' Mexican food is wrong. Except mine. I would be the authority, and if you disagree, then you are mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefche Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 When I was in Mexico, I found the food absolutely delicious. And absolutely nothing like the "Mexican" I've eaten in the US, anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annewandering Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 We lived near the border of Mexico in Imperial county. We discovered the most wonderful carne asada. Of course it was made and sold by a Chinese grocer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 When living in San Diego, I used to go down to Tijuana quite often. I loved the tacos from the street taco stands. I was the only one of my group that would ever eat them. But they were the best tacos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annewandering Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 We used to get food from some of the street vendors but not often. It was interesting that they wanted to put chili on everything including fruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miztrniceguy Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Del Taco isn't east of the Mississippi either...so quit derailing my Taco Bell worship thread! Neither am I east of the Mississippi, and we don't have Del Taco. I remember when Del Taco merged Naugles. The demise of the Macho Beef Burrito was a huge loss.

Great food, large quantities, and good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
