You were probably eating at sub-par Panda Express-like Chinese restaurants.
Uhh, no. Why the **** would I ever go to panda express. Did you even read my post?

No, I said that among the mexican food I've eaten, some of it has been 'impoverished'... I've also had 5 star resort food, street food (what the **** do you think that is? The ritz? That's peasant food dude), and many hole in the wall places. No, I am not counting italian as ethnic. As I said before, I am saying anything that isn't american or euro centric.
actually, when eating on the street, you'll be surrounded by all walks of life. the street food can be excellent and is not only for peasants. so you haven't been to a good restaurant where actual mexicans eat. have you been to a large mexican city or do you only visit the beaches?
American peasant food isn't a tv dinner. Jesus, come on. For a guy who tries to fight a stereotype in seemingly every post he makes, you're doing a pretty good job at being judgemental.
None of this matters to me. My personal pride isn't wound up with the food that fat white people in sweat pants eat. That isn't where I'm from, nor do I care about it. I understand that you're hurt that I'm attacking mexican food. No I have not taken a bayless type survey of south american food. I have been to mexico more than the average gringo and yes I've eaten at every level of what the country has to offer. It stands to reason that I haven't eaten the right stuff yet, but keep in mind that I'm comparing the food of Mexico to that of France, Italy, Greece, Japan and India, so of course I won't be jumping for joy with Mexican food. Like I said, if someone can give me any recommendations I'd be thrilled to eat it.
tell me what peasant american food is to you.
American peasant food: Grits, chitlins, black eyed peas, and most of the food from the South.
Barbeque, oxtail, chitlins, cornbread, collard greens, pretty much anything cajun/creole, so gumbos, po' boys, etc.
but peasants in mexico don't eat non-authentic tacos. poor people in america do eat a lot of fast food. (by peasants i mean poor people.) i'm not talking about some southern americana concept. if you're flat broke in seattle you aren't buying chitlins and collard greens.
