ok so i was born in mexico but was raised in the usa since i was a baby so i dont know anything about mexico like its history traditions etc.... and i really want to learn about where i came from or off my country you know but i don't know where to start from is there a book out there or what. that can teach me about mexico's history . cause all i know is about USA's history which is alright of course. i am married to a american guy an i have a fear that when we decide to have children i wont be able to teach them about their Mexican heritage they will only know the american one. for example i have a aunt who also married an american guy and has 4 children that don't even know how to speak Spanish at all because my aunt never taught them how too she never taught them about mexico or traditional dishes from mexico, nothing. even my aunt forgot she was Mexican she doesn't know how to cook Mexican food and is always calling my mom to tell help her out. my aunt acts like shes more american than Mexican you know and i don't want that to be me. i want that when i ever take my children to mexico that they can be able to communicate with the family down there and that they know that there not only american but Mexican as well an that they know the history of mexico its traditions and everything. so basically what is a good website or book or something that is going to help me discover about my Mexican heritage.
i wasnt sure what category so i just posted it on this one. also if ur a racist asshole this is not for u too read to move along
I want a website that can help me learn how to cook REAL Mexican food. Like Pesole, flan, menudo...Some really good recipes. I'm trying to help my disabled friend enjoy the foods she grew up loving and I've never cooked these foods before. Thank you in advance for your help:)

Mexican weather means climate in Mexico, or Weather in Mexico.
Mexican food means Food wirthout being processed with hormons, and esteroids like all the meat in Mac Donald's.
Should I write my sentence like:
Tina said, "I like mexican food."
OR
Tina said, "I like mexican food".
I've been wondering how Wonderful House makes their chinese food and how to make that level of chinese food at home. Also my wife loves mexican food and I'd like to learn how to make really amazing chinese and mexican food.
Does anyone know a good place to eat mexican food in the dallas tx area? Im talking about real mexican food, not tex-mex. Mi Cocina, taco cabana, or on the border do not count as real mexican food so if you agree with me on that and know a good place , let me know 
Something similar to Chacho's in Houston would be nice

I've always wondered, all the people who're anti mexican or latino seem to just love Mexican food, and often Corona! I've never understood this. Why would they talk negatively about Mexicans or Latinos as a whole, then run on over to Chipotle! Are most so called racists just fake? You claim not to like a people, then want to enjoy their food, which is made by them, then served to you!

I love mexican food. I want to learn how to make it very good. Any good recepies on rice or anything else?
So you put the fresh produce first on your list, and the dairy products last, and the mexican food in the middle?
I went to a Mexican restaurant
It is owned by Mexicans, they serve Mexican food and the waiters even speak Spanish.
The restaurant atmosphere is also very similar to Mexico
However when I pay the Bill they refuse to accept Mexican currency.
Why did they do this?
Can they be sued? If so, under what law?
Of course I use the term "authentic" cautiously here. I'm speaking of the Mexican restaurants in America (you know, the ones that are always "El Something"), which I'm hopelessly addicted to.
What's the secret to their cooking? When I make burritos at home they don't even come close. By comparison everything I make is very... Dry? For lack of a better term. The ground beef is in large chunks and not as moist, there are no good sauces integrated into the dish, the tortilla is dry. Pretty much everything I cook ends up tasting like a taco kit without the taco kit.
I would love to be able to cook Mexican food as you get it in the restaurants. Moist meat, lots of sauce, lots of intermingling of the ingredients and flavors. How do you do it? Do I need to boil the meat? Drench everything in special sauces? I'm all ears here.
If so, do you feel other mexicans give you attitude or look down at your for not know spanish or being into the latino culture a lot?
I'm mexican and I don't know spanish and neither does anyone in my family. We have been in this country for over 3 or 4 generations now so we are assimilated as you can get. We don't celebrate mexican heritage or culture and don't eat or like mexican food anymore than other types of food. I'm 1/2 mexican, 1/2 filipino but look 100% mexican and many other mexicans always assume I speak spanish and when they find out I dont I get some sort of dirty look or attitude it seems like more times than not. I didn't grow up around other mexicans b/c i lived in a predominantly white upper middle class suburb. I was just wondering if there are other mexicans or latinos out there that don't speak the language, are not into the culture, and are basically "white washed" as some have said like me. And how do you feel about it?
Also I was born and raised in the SF Bay Area and currently live in San Diego so I come into contact with a lot of mexicans straight out of Mexico litterally. And when I do occasionally venture south to Mexico I feel a similar response from people there.
I definately consider myself american b/c I don't identify with mexican culture at all but it's like i'm stuck in between the two. Some white people, not the majority or that many, make assumptions about me and where I'm from b/c how I look. Then on the other hand Mexican's do the same. So to some white people I'm not that american b/c my skin color and to some mexicans I'm not mexican b/c the way i act.
Also this isn't a problem I have all the time or even that often, but when it does occur it just bugs the hell out of me.
Hey guys, so there is a spice used a lot in Mexican food called cumin.I want to know the correct pronunciation of this word.I have heard "coo-man" and "cue-man". So I was wondering which is the correct way and which is the way most said.
Thank you.

I have to write a speech on mexican food, and i need a good attention getter that has a hint of what food it is but doesnt give the type of food (mexican) away. example for italian food:"Mama Mia! just looking at those red checkered tablecloths makes my mouth drool!" Except i need mexican food.! help please!
...does it make you hungry for Mexican food, too? This isn't meant to be racist, but when I think Mexican anything, I want some fajitas! mmmmmm
It serves "authentic" Mexican food, but as far as I can tell, it's still tacos and shrimp cocktail, by any other name.
But it's supposed to be a good review (they're paying for it).
Got any ideas? I'm at a loss. I'll take anything to get me started...
