We have a place here that is Greek owned and operated, so the Gyros are as authentic as possible. Those are the best I gave ever had.
my husband (From Morocco) says Guy roo as well. I asked him if they had them in Morocco he said yeah- buy it is called ksjdhfskjhfwuehf. Or something like that.
Mom n rob So those are Greek? Best damn foreign food import to America since spaghetti. I feel vindicated now because over seas I bought those and the pronunciation by the vendor was Gyro also just like its spelled. Then I come to the states and some snooty prick frowns at my pronunciation but I only said it the was I heard it in Arabia.
Dammit... Did you not try a proper Carne Guisada meal the whole time you were down here? Granted, we're still a few hours away from the border, but once you find the hole-in-the-wall places, you're guaranteed some great grub (while you shorten your life by a few years, no doubt.) Remind me this summer - these places tend to come and go, but well worth hunting for if you've got a thing for authentic Mexican food and aren't equipped with the wetback radar. Another delicacy is Barbacoa - the best fucking breakfast you'll ever eat if it's from the right place. Typically, it's served on Saturdays, so if you see a bunch of Mexicans standing in line on a sidewalk on a Saturday morning, you can rest assured that you're in for a hell of a treat when you make it to the window. --- ***and if nothing else*** --- Remind me about the best fucking jerky and sausage you've ever had (two different places & towns, but relatively close.) I swear, if I ever moved, I would really fucking miss the fantastic fucking cuisine that most people take for granted 'round here.
You know Lomo you have a point I love those Carnie Asada burritos. And Carnitas when its made right so tender your fork slices through like butter. But I guess I just consider those as regular American cuisine for some reason so they did not cross my mind.
I'm sorry, but who the fuck are you, again? I thought for sure the mandatory posting to view media on the main site was in place when I read your stunning response to this medoicre thread - I have to give you props. It was well thought out, a stunning display of your cognitive conversational skills, and a fantastic addition to the already shitty thread - only eclipsed by the extensive time and effort you put into your phenomenal addition to this thread (as well as your very first post, a stunning three-digit reply to another thread.) We are humbled to be in your presence, cyndi. I look forward to your priceless future contributions to our forum.
Hell, what is "American" cuisine, anyway? We're the melting pot of the best of all worlds when it comes to cooking. There is an important distinction between Carne Asada and Carne Guisada, however... "Asada" is typically cut strips of beef that is seasoned and grilled or prepared in a skillet (delicious as well) - but for my tastes, "Guisada" is second-to-none. It's a slow-cooked method of sauteing cubed beef in a rich, brown gravy in such a manner that, done properly, quite literally, melts in your mouth.
I hate it when a topic goes off course in a very boring way. Let's talk about your cholesterol levels.
Never had it I googled it and at first thought it looked like Mole sauce. (do not care for mole at all) But then I see its a sort of tangy tomato spice sauce. I bet its good. Comes in either beef or pork? I really like barbeque beef the way they like to make it at this place in Ky near Bowling Green. Or pulled pork mid South style pork shoulder slow cooked with a dry rub and served with hot slaw. Have you had Carnitas that you like?
YEAH - This is a "I hate it when..." topic I hate it when people change a topic...taking it way off track.... :biggrin: except when it is me
That's why I said boring. I like it when the subject goes to something interesting and funny, but that burrito stuff is boring.
going back to the (how people pronounce words) last night we went to Carrabba's - I order the Salmon... and the stupid waiter said "sal mon" 2 times, while I kept saying 'sammin' This has happened a few times... Am I wrong? Seems like the people that serve the stuff would know how to pronounce it. Is the L silent? Through the whole meal, I thought about how many times I have said 'sammin' in my life... kept saying it over and over in my head- then it started sounding southern. I even asked the Arab- which is funny because he cant even pronounce 'vegetable' he says 'vee jet a ble' I even asked the hostess as we left... and she said 'sal mon' . I called my sister- she said sammin. But then again- she grew up with the same parents. Then her husband had to comment that I remind him of Sarah Silverman. They all laughed - and said she has a show now and he feels like Sarah's sister's boyfriend- having to deal with a weird sister-in-law. I never seen the show. damit - I just got off topic. Anyway IS THE "L" silent?
I thought it was. I have always pronounced it, "Sam-in" but I grew up in the northern most southern state and the southern most northern state, so it's a toss up. I do call refer to colas as 'pop' and not 'soda', so that makes me tend to think I speak more Northern.
I've never had a Carnita I didn't like... The Guisada sauce I know of isn't all that "tomato-ey" - I'll have to look up the recipe an ex of mine had and post it in that other thread, since these ladies have their panties up in a wad. I hate it when... PMS kicks two hungry guys out of a room.
I must have chronic PMS because I don't have periods. I've had two or three this year and am two months late. The last one was when I was in the hospital and they made me pee in this hat looking thing to check my "output". I kept leaving huge clots of blood in it. It would have been nice served with a side of turds and my choice of toilet paper.
