The "Ask a professional mexican" thread

[demik]

I really don't want to do this, but **** it, It'll be informative and useful for you guys. I was kinda weighing whether or not I wanted to do it, and figure nothing too terrible could happen.

I've been a professional for 3 or more years (25 years an amature before turning pro). Blah blah blah. Don't know me. Blah blah blah have other pro friends. Blah blah blah retired to become Viet.

I will try my best to answer your questions. My answers are based off my experience, which is not "textbook".

Ask away.

Looks more Guatemala than Mexican. But for the most part, close.

Why put a slice of lime in the corona?

[demik]

I don't drink corona because it tastes like ****. But to the best of my knowledge it's there to mask the horrible taste. Drink Corona familiar. Tastes better.

Habanero.

Hum, so that's why there was an "habanero salsa/chily bar" at the hotel when I went there. Yea, eating a raw habanero salsa the way we eat a salad before the real meal was such not a good idea (I didn't get past the first bite). Them 30 min after were not the best of my life. The only good part is that I managed to put some in one of my friends meal without him noticing it.

What is the best tequila for shots?  What is the best for margaritas?

[HPE1000]

What are your opinions on taco bell?

[demik]

Do you prefer plastic or glass bottles?

Glass

What is the best tequila for shots?  What is the best for margaritas?

Best? Not sure. But for margaritas might as well get the cheapest since you're masking the taste with the mix.

What's the average chilly a Mexican can eat (raw) without considering it too hot?

Habanero.

The chilis that are more common for daily salsas are xalapeño and serrano. Ocasionally chipotle. Habanero goes with certain dishes like Cochinita Pibil and others that are originally from Yucatán, that are not that frequent in daily dishes around the country.

There are very few places that I have checked off the 'never go again, ever' list, but all of the involve food poisoning experience ... ugh

what's a xalapeño ?

[esoomenona]

I think checking an entire chain off your list due to one incidence of food poisoning is pretty ridiculous. Any number of circumstances could have played into that, many of which were most likely to be related to that particular location as opposed to the entire chain.

Not that I care what you eat or not.

The first picture are xalapeños and the second serrano chilis,

[esoomenona]

I think you mean jalapeño can also be written as xalapeño, but is very rarely done so.

I live for salbutes

[ideus]

I think you mean jalapeño can also be written as xalapeño, but is very rarely done so.

Both ways are equally common. i.e. The city of Xalapa, capital of the state of Veracruz is offcially written as that, and can be also written as Jalapa, but it is less common. This city is where the chiles were named after, even now, there is a company that canned xalapeños filled with mead.

How do we know if Demik is even actually mexican....He could be making it all up...
