i tended bar for a semester in college. we had all these bottles of sweet liquor with pour spouts back along the wall. this was a beer slinging place, so the bottles sat there untouched for months at a time. tiny insects would smell the sugar, and crawl inside. you could hold them up to the light, and see them floating dead.

Same, but in Anchorage. The natives set up li'l carts with burners on them, and proceeded to sell reindeer hotdogs.

Even though it's been five years, I still sometimes taste that gamy, yet smoky flavor. :cool:

I eat out anywhere. Even an Indian chicken curry in Africa. If you don't keep your imune (sp) up to scratch by eating at dodgy places you will caught out sooner or later by touching (heaven forbid haha) a door handle then touching your lip later that day.

the other day i have dinner at my local mexican place...i get my enchilada and a basket of FREE chips. customers get their own chips from the steel trays out front

Exposed kitchen area that you can see from the parking lot.

I eat my dinner and leave all the chips cause i dont like em or im full

I go out to my car and as i am getting ready to leave, i see the owner go clear my table as usual

he takes the enchilada remains and dumps the plate into the garbage can in the kitchen, as expected

THEN he takes the basket of chips and tosses what i left in the basket, into a steel tray on the counter top - a tray that looks exactly like the tray where you pick up the chips from the front dining room

obviously recycling chips. BASTARD. never going back there

err you might be really wrong!

Are you saying the Mexicans who were migrant workers who came and settled in NY and stayed and started there own communities don't have authentic restaurants here?

I can take a 5 min drive and buy epazote,yucca, cactus pears, fresh Mexican chilies, and veggies. And get almost any cuisine i could think of..... any cuisine... Living near NYC basically gives you the access to every cuisine... every ingredient....

There are many "real" Mexican restaurants also...not Chilis not Chipotle Grills, not Taco Bells..etc...

Sorry. Mexican back East just ain't the same. I also don't eat sushi while visiting Omaha.
