Subject: RE: BS: mexican food From: Stilly River Sage Date: 03 Jul 03 - 02:11 PM pan dulce (sweet bread) aguacate (guacamole was called this in Sonoyta, Sonora) chicken molé camarón mojo en ajo (shrimp soaked in garlic--I looked up "shrimp," I seem to remember another word used. "Gamba" is prawn, but that doesn't sound like what it was called, either). galletas (cookies) How about a few ingredients? crema media (medium cream, used on lots of dishes) ajo (garlic) pescado (fish) limón (lemon) huevos (eggs) especias (spices) queso (cheese) I don't remember much of this any more. Used to go to Sonoyta to eat all of the time when I lived at the border in Arizona. I hope you know how to pronounce some of these things when it comes to any rhyming! SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: mexican food From: Stilly River Sage Date: 03 Jul 03 - 11:55 PM Love that Negro Modelo! Best dark beer around. Spaw, I didn't encounter hot food that often in Mexico. I think it's an American assumption that it's all hot. I didn't go far into Mexico often, I visited the border town of Sonoyta because I lived four miles from there, and 35 miles from the nearest U.S. town (Ajo). Sonoyta was larger and had a better array of restaurants and shops. I found a nice little review of the beer online:
Which is why, in the universe of Mexican beers, Negro Modelo has gotten short shrift compared to, say, its plain-Jane brewed cousin, Corona. But surprisingly, it's actually a perfect time to break out this crisp, full-bodied beer. It's deeper and more complex than Dos Equis (or Sam Adams), and its malty, slightly chocolate flavor offers the right counterpoint to a spicy mole sauce — or even just chips and salsa — on a humid day. Don't be surprised if it's hard to go back to watery lager afterwards. SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: mexican food From: GUEST,Q Date: 04 Jul 03 - 02:02 AM Echoing Stilly R S about the heat as you go south. Middle and upper class Mexicans in the central area eat what we call "continental" cooking. Northern Mexican cooking has spread to the south and is found easily in Mexico City, but remains subsidiary to a continental menu and to the old Indian cooking of that region. We found an excellent French restaurant in Tapachula, in western Chiapas (it was not a tourist town). There also is a place there that does great things with a mixer- all kinds of fruit, ice cream, etc. blended and served like milkshakes. The tables bordered their fine plaza and were great for people watching. One night the entertainment was at the police station on the corner of the plaza near us. Two young men had wrecked a borrowed car and damaged property. The parents, the owners of the damaged property and the car, and the boys were all there. The procedings were relayed to the plaza by word of mouth. A Mexican couple we were with translated. To cut to the end (about 2 hours of back and forth arguments), the fate of the boys was determined. They had (with their parents, I presume) to pay for the damages, and would have to repair the damaged property (a wall, etc.). It was a most civilized way of settling the affair. I like Modelo negro. The waiter at one place (also in Chiapas) became sympathetic and inquired about my health. The Modelo was not with the rest of the beers but was brought from the cafe section, and I found out that it was often ordered by people who had upset stomachs or were recovering from illness. That's why I put Modelo and atole (gruel) together in the list. |

Subject: RE: BS: mexican food From: Red and White Rabbit Date: 04 Jul 03 - 02:18 AM Thanks everyone I guess the pronunciations are Spanish derivations Spaw yours was about the only reply I fully understood the phrase I have to get into the song is 'axolotl and orange' for some reason it didnt appear in the best loved mexican food listhere though!! thanks again |
|
Subject: RE: BS: mexican food From: GUEST,Q Date: 05 Jul 03 - 03:58 PM Axolotl perhaps is more common in Mexico as ajolote. I presume you are referring to the salamander. Orange in naranja, naranjo. The color is anaranjado. J pronounced like 'H'. |

Subject: RE: BS: mexican food From: GUEST,Kim C no cookie Date: 05 Jul 03 - 08:57 PM Spaw, here in my neighborhood we have a little tiny Mexican restaurant owned and operated by a Mexican family. Great food at a great price with great service. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: mexican food From: Mudlark Date: 05 Jul 03 - 09:27 PM R/W Rabbit...you could turn the phrase around and have this: Orange and axolotl...and Negro Medelo by the bottle. If I understand you correctly, you've got a job cut out for you to rhyme with orange...the one color in the song Jenny Jenkins that just about everyone avoids..."No, I wont wear orange, cause it's too....pornge? fornge? |

Subject: RE: BS: mexican food From: Deckman Date: 05 Jul 03 - 09:35 PM GOOD GRIEF FOLKS! You're forgetting that most important food of all ... tequila! (that is a food, isn't it?) CHEERS, Bob |
|
Subject: RE: BS: mexican food From: Alba Date: 05 Jul 03 - 09:50 PM Don't know about Tequila being a food group Bob but maybe Mescal counts due to the wee Maquery Worm at the bottom of the Bottle!...*BG*.. A:>) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: mexican food From: Deckman Date: 05 Jul 03 - 10:24 PM Of course Tequila is a food! Don't you know nuthin'! SHEEUH. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: mexican food From: Mary in Kentucky Date: 05 Jul 03 - 10:26 PM and MARGARITAS! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: mexican food From: Deckman Date: 05 Jul 03 - 11:24 PM Maragarita who? Bob |
|
Subject: RE: BS: mexican food From: GUEST,Q Date: 05 Jul 03 - 11:33 PM Ah, the Margarita! 1 1/2 gallons tequilla 1 gallon fresh lime juice 1/2 gallon Bols triple sec (Wimps read gallons as ounces) Rub rim of glass with lime, dip in kosher salt. Shake tequila, lime juice and triple sec with ice and strain into the glass. Garnish with 1/4 lime Or- one ounce each tequila, triple sec and lime juice (a little too sweet). Don't know which is the original recipe. Some prefer it on the rocks rather than strained. Lots of variants. |

Subject: RE: BS: mexican food From: Mary in Kentucky Date: 06 Jul 03 - 06:28 PM Bob, some people say that she's the woman to blame..... ...wastin' away in Margaritaville... |

Subject: RE: BS: mexican food From: Red and White Rabbit Date: 07 Jul 03 - 06:52 AM well I now have enough stuff for another song - I feel it must reflect my preference to alcohol over Mexican food no the challenge doesnt allow you to turn the phrase around Mudlark - you have to use it exactly as it is givn to you - the trick is to add something on the end so that you dont have to rhyme with orange like 'axolotl with orange, char grilled or fried' Such delicacies never tried etc. words that almost rhyme with orange are acceptable too like compinge or infringe or lozenge ( I come from Yorkshire so my accent means they rhyme with orange!!) Thanks again |

Subject: RE: BS: mexican food From: GUEST,John Gray in Oz Date: 07 Jul 03 - 09:17 AM My opinion on Mexican food is the same as 'Spaws yet most of my friends here in Oz reckon its great. I fell into an sewer once in Singapore ( yes I was pissed ) and the similarity with Mexican tucker was extraordinary. Its a fallacy that all those Mexicans are risking limb, life and the law in crossing the Rio Grande for better economic conditions. They're doing it to get away from the boring shit they have to eat. FME / John Gray |

Subject: RE: BS: mexican food From: Kim C Date: 07 Jul 03 - 04:43 PM John Gray, if that's true, then why do so many of them open up restaurants in the US? And don't say "so you gringos will eat it," because everytime I go to my abovementioned restaurant, it's full of Mexicans! ;-) Tequila. Blech. All right in margaritas, but I don't drink it straight anymore. |

Subject: RE: BS: mexican food From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 07 Jul 03 - 11:56 PM Mr. Rabbit, Mr. Rabbit, your ears are mighty long... Yes, Praise God, they've been put on wrong!
Whatever your purpose, (there ARE better sources than MC for song-writers ((but then again, what better way to play-your-own-horn to an anonymous world?)))
Combine ANY of these adverbs with ANY of the following nouns- in your second MEXICAN song.
preciosa = precious, sweet
guapissima = very pretty
sabrosa = tasty
deliciosa = delicious
mamacita = little mama
Cabron
Have Fun! You will be real WINNER, I know for sure!!!
Sincerely, |

Subject: RE: BS: mexican food From: GUEST,Q Date: 08 Jul 03 - 01:39 AM You are more likely to find iguana than axolotl (but the former badly needs protection). |

Subject: RE: BS: mexican food From: Red and White Rabbit Date: 10 Jul 03 - 08:51 AM I just want to say thank you to those who translated Gargoyles words for me I can only say gargoyle you can rest assured I will use them in a song about certain types of gentleman who like to wind people up on mudcat threads!! be careful else I might send a few of the gents over from the duel thread to challenge you!! |
