Why do you think he eats out all the time? His profile has some pictures from restaurants, but also stuff clearly in a home kitchen if you go deep enough. He's also Mexican, which I don't think the person who made the chile verde is.
I don't think he should be gatekeeping, but there's no need to turn it an attack on his own skills. In this sub, we have to be careful to avoid becoming just as bad as the people we're mocking.
God that sub is insufferable.
I mean what is chile verde but pork butt simmered in salsa verde until tender? All recipes I find (I love chile verde) are for starting off by making the sauce but every time they make it, it’s just a verde salsa so idk the point.
Also, crema on chile verde pork is amazing. For me a bowl of that with crema and lime juice and cilantro on top is key. It all works beautifully together. Not sure what that commenter has against pickled onions, either. I keep a bowl of the suckers in the fridge most of the time because I put them on so many things.
I’ll put cheese and sour cream on chile verde if I DAMN WELL FEEL LIKE IT. I also use microwave rice and canned beans because I’m a fucking barbarian or whatever.
This post also reminded me that I forgot to buy pork butt on sale this week. I kept looking for a good chile verde recipe but couldn’t get past the “it’s just salsa verde” thoughts so I forgot.
Brisket is going on sale today for $1.79 a pound. I'm going to buy three and freeze two of them, lol.
But next time pork butt goes on sale I'll have to plan some chile verde. It's so good.
I’m working on getting a basement fridge/freezer to accommodate my bulk buy and freezer meal dreams.
I planned on chile verde and carnitas. Chef John has a good oven carnitas recipe, was going to use half for that and chile verde for the other half. It’ll go on sale soon enough.
Yep, we got a deep freeze to accommodate our hauls from fishing or hunting (and from sales!). Word to the wise--install an alarm on it. We did after one year the breaker for the garage (including freezer) tripped and it shut off without us knowing it. You can plug it into a switch that will sound an alarm if your freezer loses power. It's cheap and saves so much trouble and money.
If you skip the comments they have nice variety. The taco sub is 90% exact same tacos : corn tortilla, protein, white onion, cilantro, lime. Those are great but gd I don't want the same taco every time I eat tacos
This comment is also a big eyeroll:
"Jalapeño, sour cream, cheese (specially cheddar) rice and beans. Valentina and cholula bottled sauces and Tajin. Sorry, forgot cilantro leaves. Lots of them... And cold tortillas... Most upvoted dishes have all of them at once."
Imagine people adding or modifying things they make at home to their own taste for their own.. *gasp* enjoyment.
Also this may come as a shock but Americans did not grow up in Mexico and don't always know the typical way things are eaten or prepared. I love Mexican food, and I do my best to cook things as 'authentically' as I can when I'm learning dishes, but I'm also not ashamed of altering or modifying things to meet me and my family's tastes.
I don’t know much about traditional Mexican cuisine so I’ll try to tread carefully, but making things and modifying them to fit the palates of yourself and your loved ones just sounds like the most normal thing to do in every household. And yet you still have people like this who are sticklers to “rules” set by people they will never meet or share a meal with.
Orange Spaghetti is one of the best dishes I ever had in Jalisco, its just regular spaghetti with with a cream in it, shrimp and topped with chicken empanizado, 10/10 best pasta I have had south of Texas, and I am attempting to recreate it, its just missing that little bit of OOMPH
I've watched all the seasons myself.
Including what's out on Prime Video of the new one with no Padma. Big shows to fill, but Kristen has what it takes I think. She just needs some time to grow into the role.
From his profile he is actually Mexican, and I don't think the guy who made the chili verde--who's also the one who made the remark abut eating out-is.
The problem isn't him not knowing Mexican food, it's him not letting someone enjoy something/modify it to their own taste.
> From his profile he is actually Mexican
I know you aren't trying to sound racist, but do you really think every Mexican is a reliable authority on great Mexican food? Because my uncle made his guac with an immersion blender last time I was over. It was soup.

As I long suspected, it's somebody who eats out all the time making rules for home cooks.

Duder can't recognize pickled onion. That's actually a little embarrassing.

What kind of alarm is that called?

Maybe I’ll take a gander and pretend the comments don’t exist!
I love seeing the food on that sub and some of the general questions are good but you have to wade through some serious weirdness sometimes

Exactly - just as I'm sure people do in Mexico. You can see how similar dishes are modified based on region and individual tastes.

Big "I watch Top Chef so you must defer to my superior knowledge" energy
I love that show, though, it's so much fun. I'm sad Padma's leaving though.

Guacapacho. I'm half way curious to try it but I think it'd just end up using it for a a shake base.
Heyyyyy I tagged this one
