1. Don't do that! I haven't had proper mexican or tex-mex in nearing 3 years!
The dutch have a messed up idea of what mexican should be . . . I would kill lots of people for a taco van burrito right about now.

3. I feel your pain
But not really, I now live in Tucson, lots of good food. My recent period in Prague gives me empathy. I ordered a burrito and got something that looked like a folded over pizza with beans smeared on top.

6. Let's just say that the dutch add cream to their guacamole . . .
It's culinary fucking heresy! :grr::mad::grr:

16. That is a pain I hope to never feel.....
Guess I will have to avoid all Mexican food when I go to Amsterdam this summer. Hell, with the dollar where it is, I probably won't be able to afford it anyway. :evilgrin:

23. You'd be better off going to the thai or indonesian places anyhow
The asian food in the country is actually good, especially in amsterdam.

27. I sympathize completely. Pictures like that do me in!
"Tex-Mex" recipes & mixes here tend to call for flour tortillas in enchiladas. Thankfully, there's a place in Edinburgh that sells green chilis, decent corn tortillas, & other staples via mailorder. Then I can at least make my own chicken enchiladas. But oh, man, to walk into a restaurant and sit down to a table like that in the picture!! (drool)

You just reminded me that tomorrow is all you can eat at one of my local Tex Mex places, too. Gawd, I love that stuff!

17. You poor thing!
I'm not sure if Wendy's and Taco Bell are even real food, they're definitely not a viable substitute for Tex Mex.

14. Viva tortillas...de maiz.
I am prejudiced in favor of the corn tortilla. Suave y oleroso.

26. Oy. Now I'm hungry.
I didn't know you were catholic. I went to catholic school when I was little, but I'm not a practicing catholic today. I would be what they call "spiritual not religious" :D
