Where exactly in Mexico did you have Old El Paso taco seasoning on ground beef?

Banquet tv dinners are basically bachelor chow from Futurama.

If it makes you feel better, I grew up in a small Californian town with tons of great authentic Mexican food. I moved from California to Boston a while ago and I miss the little old lady who made tamales more than some of my family.

In the US, all mexican food is meat and beans with cheese and bland sauce wrapped in some form of tortilla or shell. Corn optional.

Don't lump Texas, New Mexico, and California in with the baby palate states. We ain't got much but we got Mexican food around every corner, and not the fried shrimp and mayo poo poo that passes for tacos on the East Coast, or the refried beans and a slice of American cheese the Midwest turds eat.

This is from a bit back but dead on, and I think I remember GWS even had a thread that went into just straight up bad cooking in the past few years. Most of our parents (supposing the average goon is born in the late 80s to early 90s) learned to cook from parents directly influenced by all the god awful cooking sensibilities-grey meat, mush veggies, etc- and processed food disaster cookbookery of the 50s and 60s.

My dad hates rare or even medium-rare meat. When he was a kid they'd have backyard cookouts and the meat was always charred outside, pink and almost cold inside. It scarred him for life. I grew up eating well done EVERYTHING. Dry-rear end pork, grey steaks. Probably the worst contender is beef top round (London Broil). So rubbery and chewy, and dry as hell because the cut is so lean. I do still enjoy my mom's Sunday roast, cooked to hell and back. The browned outer layer is delicious, and the drippings make for amazing gravy. Chicken drumsticks are also pretty good when overcooked in the oven. A little stringy, but the fat from the skin keeps them somewhat moist.

Corn tortillas are more of a hassle (need to prep storebought ones, making it at home is a lot more work than just getting a bag from the store), but are so much better compared to wheat. The absolute worst is uncooked wheat tortillas, in a wrap or burrito. It's dense, pasty, and has that raw flour taste of a sauce that wasn't thickened right. They're like an "edible" napkin - keeps everything else from making a mess but the meal would taste better without it.

I know a really good authentic Mexican restaurant entirely staffed by actual Mexicans in upstate New York but it's the only real Mexican place I know of that's within an hour's drive from me.

I live in Vermont though, so it's noteworthy if I see one not-white guy in a week.

Thank god I was raised by parents who both had chef mothers. We never ate badly and I'm thankful as anything that I can cook reasonably well now. Presentation isn't a thing in our house but I'll be god damned if I make a lovely meal
