Food is deeply ingrained in cultural identity, and is one way to learn about a community’s heritage, familial customs and values. In the U.S., Mexican food is one of the most popular cuisines, with 1 in 10 restaurants serving Mexican, according to recent findings from the Pew Research Center. This trend reflects an expanding Mexican American population, with 37.2 million people or 11.2% of the U.S. population tracing their ancestry back to Mexico.
From what I’ve gathered you live in Indiana or something, so you might not have had exposure to the finest Mexican food.
As far as cheeses, asadero is pretty solid. It’s like a denser mozzarella with more flavor. Sort of like a gooier provolone.
I used to live in L.A.
For a year I even lived in South Gate where we were one of the only English-speaking families.
I just don’t like Mexican food very much.
