View original postYou won't get the kind you want - TexMex - in Europe. Not well done anyway.

Finding actual Mexican food in Europe would be something else, but TexMex is easy. Whether it would be well done is a more subjective question, of course. The TexMex I've had in Europe wasn't substantially different from what I've had in the US, but of course if you tell me that only this or that particular restaurant does it the right way, then it gets more difficult.

I'm making gyros. I can't explain how much I miss American versions of, well, everything. nossy - 26/04/2017 07:49:16 PM 1416 Views

Aren't gyros incredibly popular over there under the name doner kebab? *NM* Ghavrel - 27/04/2017 06:41:23 AM 565 Views
Spicing isn't the same. At all. Otherwise, I'd be unstoppable. nossy - 27/04/2017 09:05:20 AM 1041 Views
Oh. See, I get gyros for the grease, the umami, and the tzatziki. The spices are secondary. *NM* Ghavrel - 27/04/2017 09:35:36 AM 590 Views
