i dont get the chilli one
edit: thanks everyone for explaining! not sure how i couldnt get chili con carne ๐
The dad's name is Con Kearney which is similar to 'con Carne', as in 'Chili con Carne'. I guess that dish is popular over there?
It's like the one Mexican dish we know in Europe. You can order nachos or tacos at some places but they're so far removed from the real deal it's a crime to call it Mexican.
Yup. I live in the US and most "Mexican" food here is terrible. I've gotten to the point where I refuse to eat Mexican unless it's in an establishment with soccer playing 24/7, mysterious jugs of liquid on the counter, and counter staff who struggle with English. Bonus points for dingy lighting. If I can't order lengua or they don't ask for clarification when i order cabesa, I'm out.
And even then it's a toss up. Some great Mexican places give in and start adding American nonsense to their dishes. I want a variety of moles, fantastic beans, and salsas so hot the devil himself would get hiccups and I'm sold.
