TexMex is what we've had here in Missouri, but in the last 20yrs years we've had some traditional Mexican restaurants open, owned and operated by Mexicans with a Mexican staff & decor; when you walk in, you're not in Missouri anymore. They are NOT at all alike. Taco Bell & Taco Johns are the go-to fast food, but if you want the experience, go to the restaurant.

An absolutely delicious episode my friends! Thanks so much for all the great info. I know that all sorts of meats were used too. Wild game, snakes (tastes like chicken), small game (tastes similar to chicken), upland game (birds) all were part of the cuisine too. I've eaten so much of it. I've eaten and made delicious meals from all the wild game. Lot's of great Mexi - Meals from, deer, elk, moose, bear, javelina (collared peccary), wild turkey, various grouse (sage, pine hens, blue, sharp tails), mourning doves, and even the imported species like ring neck pheasants, Hungarian partridges (Huns), grey partridges (Chukars), and the Eurasian doves (they came from the popular releasing of pen raised doves at weddings). I've got many recipes on my youtube channel. Thanks for making me hungry! ha. Thanks my friends!!!

Yeah, now I'm hungry. Thanks!

[@mpetersen6]

The three big domesticated* meat sources in Mesoamerica were Turkey, ducks and dogs. The dogs could be fed with food wastes. North and South America really did suffer from a lack of domesticable animals. The extinction event** at the Younger Dryas boundry wiped out the North American horses and camels. *The canabalism aspect if of the Triple Alliance (aka Aztec) I suspect was more a feature of the urban centers. **the cause whether human over hunting, climate related or possible impact event really doesn't matter.

[@MakerBoyOldBoy]

Another excellent episode from our actors/historians/humorists/videoists. The confusion of food ingredients termed fusion is eternal and neverending. Tucson is one of the special spots. The Old Pueblo's food blendings resulted in a new international classification of Tucson Mexican Restaurant Food. Eats is serious business here. The Arizona Ghostriders possee has nicely presented a tasteful (pun intended) primer. The concept of s vegetable or protein wrapped by a carbohydrate seems to be a universal and deeply historic food item. The only exception I have found is the Japanese hand food of a large dried seaweed sheet wrapping cooked white rice core. Yeah, we can work with that.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

True! In a way, all cuisines have a "wrap"

[@anthonygalliart1789]

I used to live near San Antonio TX for a while back in the early 1970's, and ate at an excellent Mexican restaurant on the Riverwalk called Rico's. There were taquerias all over, too. I moved to White Plains, New York, bringing my love for Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisines (and anything high on the Scoville scale!) with me. The closest I got to authentic southwestern cuisine was "Desert Moon Café" (where I insisted on the "rattlesnake sauce" on my tacos), or buying dried chilies and other Mexican foods to make my own chilis, menudo, posole, etc. Now I'm retired and live in Vermont, where there is no market for the above-mentioned foods. I sure do miss Southwestern cuisine! Guess I still miss the southwest, too, because I've just subscribed.

Taco is a word that originally meant rolled explosive powder, as in dynamite (according to the smithsonian) The mineros in Mexico would roll powder in paper and shove it in the holes they drilled to excavate under ground. It looked more like a “taquito” than what most Americans think of as a taco today. The “burrito” is a 20th century term and in most parts, a taco was anything wrapped in a tortilla (maize o harina) Super awesome video!! Many of vaqueros right in southern AZ ate frijoles y tortillas

Another entertaining video Santee! Although this type of food isn't very popular in Australia, it's good to know there are people like myself who love chili in a hot way in thier food. Speaking of food, beef jerky was mentioned in my family history as one of the dietary staples while travelling across USA back in the old west, another was when the boy was travelling with his grandfather on locomotive from Kansas to San Francisco they had as a desert dried cake which was dunked in tea or coffee, but what was the funny points of the story was just how many men would start to fart while eating, and according to what I heard was a beauty from grandfather, who every night travelling on the locomotive he would have a slice of cake, cup of coffee and swig of whisky (for medical purposes) and have a good fart that would have put a trombone player to shame, the boy and the dog would be told to go to the cabin and fart, because it was manners 😀

Hey, Santee. In Tucson, back in the 70's and 80's we called them "Burros" not "Burritos". We had little taco shops like "Senor Taco" and "El Taco" all over town and even the larger restaurants called them "Bean Burros" or "Combination Burros" most of the time. I'm told by folks older and fartier than me, the term goes back farther than that and is specific to Tucson. I think the influx of national chains killed the term off. Great video as always.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

When I was in Mexico in the 80s, they called them burros, too. El Taco is still here, but I find the food to be sub-par.
