Tex-Mex Vs. Regular Mex

Here’s a fun (or at least appetizing) breakdown of what Americans* think is ethnic food versus what people in said countries actually commonly eat. Did I mention there are Venn Diagrams? *The study is technically about Texans, but as we have learned from watching FNL, we are all Texans, and Texas is Forever. posted on October 28, 2010 at 11:10am EDT

      If you go to the article the set up of the diagrams is explained. She interviewed Texans about what they thought people of each of these ethnic groups ate (the left), then interviewed people from those ethnic groups on what they actually ate (the right) and where they overlapped is the middle.
      The Texan side of the Korean diagram made me sad. Also, the Ethiopian diagram? I agree with the author - people are assholes.

      I am too dumb to understand this. The items on the left are what we think are various ethnic cuisines, the right is what is actually ethnic cuisines? Either I’m too dumb or this list is too dumb.

      Also, most of those things are actually eaten (or drunk - seriously, tequila?) in Mexico.

      This is really stupid. First of all, the point is obvious: even something so standarized as McDonald’s food varies around the world to suit the tastebuds of different customers. Second, I lived in India for over a year. Literally every food on that list is eaten in India. Also, daal IS basically lentils. How could someone write something so stupid and post it on the net, where their ignorance is sure to be exposed?
