/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Because food is a big part of culture. Inauthentic food lacks culture.

It's like asking why people prefer the original version of a song over a pop cover.

To specify, the Mexican food white people think is real cuisine is not, its fucking fajitas and enchiladas that are slightly better than what you find at Taco Bell, not pig ears and menudo and shit

>muh ad hominems

>>5592419
so you're trying to tell me that taco bell isn't as good as whatever that beaner is spilling off his cart?

>>5592411
I like how you have everything painted in black and white

>real mexican food must be dirt poor cheap or it isn't mexican

>>5592426
its true, the 'real authentic mexican cuisine' you're getting is tailored for Western taste buds, its barely above taco bell standards. True, you can find authentic places if you look but I bet you won't like it

>>5592432

This is authentic Mexican, explain why I won't like this?

>>5592438
that looks decent but you'd be surprised at how many white people would turn it down based on looks alone, we're a close-minded people.

>>5592411
Newsflash: They don't care.

It is only a marketing gimmick, like "homemade taste!"...

I've been to the ghetto-est parts of Mexico and got shrimp cocktails and delicious tacos at amazing prices from street carts.
Definitely better than Taco Bell, i'll tell you what.

>>5592445
Okay.How about something but traditional ?

Now tell me gringos wouldn't want to pay to eat authentic Mexican, in a nice, romantic restaurant?

>>5592464
There's nothing authentic and traditional about high-end takes on poor people food.

>>5592487
You don't know who that guy is. He's a purist as it gets.

His food is 100% authentic

>>5592411
Honestly I love authentic mexican food, chinese food etc but I also love shitty americanized mexican and chinese

>>5592411

Enjoy the the most French take on Mexican food

While in reality the greatest Mexican food is eaten in fiestas not in restaurants

>dirt farmer
Go fuck yourself while I have the freshest bunch of everything this earth has to offer

>>5592504
I've yet to find a restaurant that makes authentic Chinese food, it's all American-Canton or sichuan.

yo /ck/ wtf is the deal with the corn cob on a tick covered in mayo i see all these mexican fat facks eating them by me

Why are Americans so proud of cheesifying and doughifying every international cuisine? And why does HFCS have to be a part of everything?

>>5592758
>While in reality the greatest Mexican food is eaten in fiestas not in restaurants

This isn't 1970's anymore. Men dominate in the culinary world

>>5592430

I feel bad that you can't tell the difference. Have you even had authentic ass tacos from these dirty beans? They are fucking delicious

>>5592784
>Why are Americans so proud of cheesifying and doughifying every international cuisine?
Because cheese and bread are two of the best foodstuffs ever?

>>5592419
This anon gets it.
Why do you need so many musicians? We can have Justin Bieber record every song ever made and listen to that!

>>5592411
>shitty industrial sauce made from processed processed processed cheese, HFCS and an assortment of chemicals >slapped over some industrial made food imitation
>'blended with local culture'

>>5592430
That should be a given. One is trying to squeeze every last dollar out of subpar materials and the other doesn't have the business sense or infrastructure to do anything but give you what you pay for.

>>5592419
Eating for "culture" is stupid. Eat what's good (and won't kill you too quickly)

>>5592784
>And why does HFCS have to be a part of everything?
Gotta do something with all that corn the tax payers are paying for
and can't put it towards ethanol cause we all know ethanol fuel is some sort of hippie communist muslim nazi atheist aclu lawyer drugs design by the jew to kill us red blooded americans

Top Plen.

>>5593184
That is just bullshit anon. There are plenty of high class bastardized versions of authentic food as well.
Compare quality to quality.
I am with OP.
Authentic doesn't mean dick to me.

>>5592411
people crave authenticity becuase they want the joy of trying something that isn't catered to their eating habbits.

>>5592430
Man I bet that most of what he's selling off his cart is ten times better than diarrhea bell.

Also guys every time I eat Taco Bell I get diarrhea, wat do?

>>5592811
>implying I was alive in the 60's, 70's, or 80's
try 1995

>>5595342
jesus fuck, I cant believe someone born in 95 is 19, no wonder 4chan keeps getting worse

>>5595347
you are just ancient

>>5592419
I mean it depends on what you consider inauthentic food

taco bell and johns? sure
but tex-mex in general is a part of a new culture
same with things like deep dish pizza
or deep fried shish kebabs

not authentic, but they have "culture"
they're just a fusion of multiple cultures coming together

>>5595342
you are the cancer that has killed /b/

>>5595347
4chan is getting worse because people like you are here shitting up threads with your lack of proper writing.

>>5592411
Tex Mex is fucking godly compared to that shitty ass peasant crap they serve in Mexico. Give me a crunchy TAYCO with pickled jalapenos and a scoop of ground beef and cheese and sour cream over some boiled ass goat stew any day of the fucking week you shitty mexican shits

>>5592445
>Muh white guilt

>>5595662
It really is the millenials. Their total inability to do anything is going to drive america to become a third world nation.

>>5592411
i agree with u OP

>>5596525
>this shitty bait

>>5596796
Most people agree with him though. I do.

>>5592411
Combination of TV, hipsters and TV hipsters.
It's a passing fad.

>>5596804
Only people on /ck/.

Mexican restaurants have Michelin stars, along with higher rated restaurants. Plus, tex mex is just greasy and bland.

>>5598420
most of what you probably think of as 'mexican food' was first created in texas, I mean, by mexicans, but still.

White people with no real "ethnicness" of their own want to live vicariously for a moment through someone else's regional foods.

>>5598434
Mole, Chile en Nogadas, Aguachile, Barbacoa, Coconut shrimp, Tortas ahogadas, Birria, tacos al pastor, Cemitas were made in Texas? Please do tell me more

>>5594906
maybe you're just too white to handle the authentic spice

>>5598438

>>5596553
And it's all thanks to the parents of the previous generation.

>become a third world nation.
XDD

to late third world nation came around befoe the 2nd bush came into office still no-one has noticed

>>5592924
i've never had an ass taco, let alone authentic ass tacos

>>5598513
How did the US drop out of the WWII allied union?
Does anyone but me know what "third world" actually means?

>>5598562
The meaning of ``third world'' does not currently have anything to do with WWII. Terms change.

>>5592419

the only food rich in culture is yoghurt.

>>5598562
you definition is outdated and was changed even in official books for 20 years now.

>>5592411
The people who live where the food originates or is best known to come from are more likely to have cooked the food for a greater period of time and with the correct tools, ingredients etc.
This may not mean it is the best but it is a great starting point for those unfamiliar with the recipes.
Also fuck you faggot.

>>5598699
My shit is food smart ass, want a taste?

>>5598711
Holy w***ers dude that gif is cute as HE*K.

>>5598714
Are you making fun?

Because the very nature of inauthenticity means that stuff will inevitably be missed out - lost in translation, if you will. It doesn't mean the authentic version is automatically better but it's always worth checking out to see what's missing from your Americanized (or whatever) version.

Also on another level simply because authentic food usually involves cooking the breads etc. yourself, and just using less shortcuts in general, which is pretty much guaranteed to be tastier than using storebought versions.

>>5592411
3 dollars compared to 50 bucks! at that rate you could become an annoyance treating everybody you know
