BRITISH FAMILY REACTS | Brits Try Real Tex-Mex For The First Time!

[@hannahbrown187]

A lot of people seem not to know that tex-mex is its own thing, not just Americanized Mexican food-it's the regional cuisine of the Texas-Mexico border area. Also, mole does have chocolate in it along with chili peppers and lots of spices. We tend to associate chocolate with sweets, but it's important to remember it's a traditional ingredient native to Mexico and the indigenous peoples there have been eating both sweet *and* savory preparations of it for a very long time. So while you can taste the chocolate, it doesn't taste at all dessert-like.

[@Laura-mi3nv]

Mexican hot chocolate is my fav. Such a genius combo. I believe it dates back to the Aztecs.

[@FiresCollide]

Yeah. Or that Mexican and Tex-Mex are not the same things. Not the same things at all.

[@TheDeadStretch]

I bet it would blow their minds to know that both chocolate and coffee are used in some Barbecue sauces and rubs.

[@victoriahernandez625]

Lmao as a Mexican living in a boarder city no one here eats tex mex because we’re Mexican so we know how to make actual Mexican food. Tex mex is definitely more of a central/ north Texas thing.

[@davidcopple8071]

​@@victoriahernandez625. Actually as a Native Texan myself as well as a trained chef and former Chef instructor. I can definitively tell you that Tex Mex is not strictly a Border or south, central, or Northern Texas cuisine. It's a Texas cuisine period and far different from the Mexican Cuisine which it does share many of it's flavors and ingredients with. But Tex Mex is it's own unique cuisine. You can find Tex Mex in every corner of the State. It's never been exclusive to any particular region of Texas.

[@lindakessler8768]

I can't even imagine never having tasted a taco. 🤯

[@alfreddaniel1994]

I have a feeling that if you told a Brit that you've never had beans on toast, they'd be like, "WHAAAT?" I wonder if there are British food restaurants around the US. For example, here in Houston, there are French restaurants, Indian restaurants, Pakistani restaurants, authentic Mexican restaurants, Tex Mex restaurants, Soul Food restaurants, Louisiana restaurants. But I can't think of a single British food restaurant anywhere that I've ever seen or heard of.

[@pillowvibes]

⁠@@alfreddaniel1994the closest you’ll get to an actual restaurant in the US that’s specific to some form of British food is a bar and grill. I don’t think British food itself is distinct or popular enough to open a whole restaurant dedicated to it in the US, so most places just have a few things at a standard restaurant + bar.

[@kinjiru731]

Tex-Mex places don't usually give you queso or guacamole for free, but you do normally get chips and salsa on your table immediately for free in most cases.

[@denisehaukkala9742]

I'm pretty sure the restaurant realized the marketing potential and gave a ton of dishes free for the video. Clearly the guacamole, queso, atleast one taco, chili, atleast one enchilada, and the donuts were free. Texans are generous, but not THAT generous.

Chocolate is a savory food until you sweeten it.

[@BigBilly-io3kf]

Mole is made with unsweetened, pure chocolate. It’s nothing like a chocolate bar. It’s actually quite bitter if you bite into it. It’s made into a sauce with different ingredients, and everyone prepares theirs differently, so has different tastes, with a chocolate bar not being one of them. It’s also used to make chocolate milk. You sweeten the drink to your liking. I’ve never seen enchiladas in so much sauce. Salsa can be prepared to be as mild or spicy as you like it.

[@garygramling5618]

I was born, raised and still live in Southern California. All I can say is Brits have NO CLUE what they are missing. When people don't want to leave a US State because they don't want to give up Mexican food, you KNOW it's good. A friend and I went to London a few years ago. His cousin had accepted a job with a financial company over there (they are both from Jerez Zacatecas Mexico but grew up in L.A.). Her first request when she knew we were coming, was to bring chiles from home because you can't buy them there. My extended family is from the Eastern US and whenever they visit, that is one of the first things they request--Mexican food. When I've visited them in Pennsylvania, they want us to bring boxes of burritos from Ramona's Mexicatessen in L.A. Most people list pizza as one of their favorite foods, and I agree. However, a good Mexican burrito or enchilada is right up there for me. Before my dad passed away from Parkinson's a few years ago, the home he was in worried about his ability to swallow, so they started blending all of his food. I'll never forget his frustration when he said "I just want a burrito!" I felt so bad, I had to sneak some in to him. Also, mole is a sauce that I tasted later on in life and fell in love with it; however, many places don't make it because it is incredibly complex. During the pandemic, I started to learn to cook at home. I found a traditional recipe for mole and was BLOWN AWAY by the ingredients and the preparation: chocolate, nuts, sesame seeds, peppers, clove, peppercorns, plantain banana, etc. And it took 2 or 3 days to make it. So many ingredients that do NOT seem like they'd go together, but the results are incredible. I doubt some of the ingredients would be available in Europe. Maybe through Amazon? The irony now is that Taco Bell, which used to be good 40 years ago, has been expanding worldwide and everyone thinks it's Mexican food. It's good but I'd guess the British equivalent would be a roast dinner from a box, heated up in a microwave lol--no comparison. One final story--when we went to Britain, we took the bullet train to France. When we went to Disneyland we HAD to stop in the Mexican restaurant in the park. We LOVED the food in France--no matter what cuisine we tried. It was no different with the food in Disneyland! But what would be normally refried beans and rice was substituted with a bag of Fritos. We both almost died laughing. Think I even took a picture of it. I agree with earlier comments: We have got to get over to Britain and start opening some Mexican restaurants.

Tortilla chips are normally freshly made that day. Largest Avocado exporter? Mexico. Ollie is correct, one ingredient is Mexican chocolate, as well as garlic and chilies. - There are a Large Variety of Peppers in the Americas (Sweet, Hot, Super Hot). - Traditionally, Enchilada is a dish that features a tortilla wrapped around other food such as meat, cheese, or vegetables. In its original form as Mexican street food, it was a simple corn tortilla that street vendors would roll up and dip into a chili sauce.

Tex-Mex is its own genre of food. It’s a fusion and not exactly the same as traditional/authentic Mexican food although some people might colloquially call it Mexican. In fact queso dip, fajitas, nachos, chimichangas, and hardshell tacos aren’t considered traditional Mexican food. In the USA we have a people/culture called Tejano. They are the people who descend from ancestors who were in Texas long before it became part of the USA. Similarly we have people who are ethnically considered Creoles either Spanish or French whose ancestors were in Colonial Louisiana before it became part of the USA.

I live in San Antonio, Texas ..... Born and raised. So, I've had my fair share of Tex-Mex food over the last 65 years. The best places are the one-off, or two-off, "Mom-and-Pop" restaurants. There are some chains (Three or more restaurants) that can hold a candle, but for myself, I prefer the family run restaurants. "Mole" (MO-lay) sauces can be hit-or-miss, depending on who is doing the cooking on any particular night. Mole indeed contains chocolate, but NOT like the kind that is used in candy bars. I had one mole sauce that was so bad, that it tasted like I had just taken a spoonful of powdered baking cocoa and shoved it down my throat. The sheer bitterness was WAAAAAY overwhelming. However, the best mole I've had, had just a hint of sweet chocolatiness at a medium spicy-heat level. It was so good, it "Knocked my hat into the creek!" The hands-down, VERY best Tex-Mex restaurant I've ever eaten at, was in someone's garage in Comstock, TX, right on the Texas-Mexico border, just north of Eagle Pass, TX. They would open the garage door, and inside were wooden picnic benches, with red checkered tablecloths. Menus were on the table, and the restaurant kitchen also functioned as the family's home kitchen. My buddies and myself, were camping along the Rio Grande River, and doing an astronomy presentation for the guests at the nearby Seminole Canyon State Historic Site. We went to this "home" restaurant, and it was so good, that we placed a second order of food-to-go, so we could eat it all over again that night. FWIW, when trying to quell the spicy heat of any pepper that has been ingested, DO NOT drink water. Water will do nothing but spread it around. Drink milk! The calcium in milk will neutralize the capsaicin contained in the pepper.

@@tvc1848 Chili became commonly prepared in northern Mexico and southern Texas.[4] Unlike some other Texas foods, such as barbecued brisket, chili largely originated with working-class Tejana and Mexican women.[4] The "chili queens" of San Antonio, Texas were particularly famous in previous decades for selling their inexpensive chili-flavored beef stew in their casual "chili joints".[4]

[@tvc1848]

@@jesusbarajas8067 Sure it was by Mexicans. Did someone think Italian or Chinese immigrants came up with it? The idea that chili con carne was introduced into Texas in the early 1900s isn’t accurate. Shortly after the Civil War Mexican ladies were selling chili con carne in San Antonio. God Bless them and their heritage.

Mole doesn’t taste like chocolate. At least not to me. It’s good when it has a bit of spiciness to it.

[@phineaspepper3530]

Tex Mex is one of my favorite foods.

Sorry to hear that.

We use ground beef over here as well, as long as it tastes good you can use anything honestly for protein

Love Tex mex. We have on every corner in my town in south Texas

I'd love to visit the UK because of the history. But I think I'll pack my own lunch judging by the reactions Britts have to our food. How bad is your food?🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kevinerose]

It is pretty bad. I went there in 2007 and had their staple - the fish and chips. It was horrible, although I did order it at the hotel. I was there for work and when the food truck came along at lunchtime, I got a hotdog from there and it was just nasty. But not all their food was bad. I had my first Cobb Salad there and it was so good, I just kept ordering that the rest of the evenings I was there. Their breakfasts at the hotel were descent enough too. I had the classic with beans but said no to the blood pudding.

[@FEARNoMore]

If they said that about us you'd be trgrd. Lets not be jerks.

[@SophieVictoria.]

Definitely visit for the history, the UK has so many great historical places 😊

[@kevinerose]

@@FEARNoMore Not quite. American currently has the best foods in the world thanks to all the immigrants. And England is readily willing to admit their foods are quire bland. Germans, Asians, Italians, French, Africans, Mexicans, Asians, and indigenous peoples combined cannot be compared with any other culture in the world. And let's not forget Canada's contribution with the Hawaiian Pizza.

How has Sophie never had a taco? Do they not have tex mex in England? It's every where in the US.

[@ninjafirewolf]

Because Mexican food probably just made it way to the UK

[@jettslappy7028]

Not everyone eats meat.

[@Riptionator]

You mean do they not have Mexican food. Tex mex is not well known globally.

[@BeboRulz]

​@jettslappy7028 there are plenty of non-meat tacos in the world and fish & shrimp if she eats seafood

She answered that question, I don't know how people can ask questions that are answered in the video.

Yes, dark mole has Mexican chocolate melted in the sauce. There are several different types of mole, most do not contain chocolate.

[@starman5754]

Baker's chocolate is commonly used as a spice in some chilis and Mexican sauces as is cumin, clove and ginger.

[@aland6752]

Nothing like a taco from a taco truck.

[@Hitman-tk6en]

their is so many types of moles and they taste very different from one another but in usa you fine this kind the most but if you ever got to Mexico got to visit Oaxaca has so many unique flavors in that one state of Mexico I mean all of Mexico has just flavors you will not fine anywhere else people forget Mexico is one of the oldest civilizations and its importance to what we eat in this modern world can be trace back to Mexico so many fruit,veggies,cooking methods,cooking tools, farming ,cultivation ,crop rotation the list goes on and on and you add to the fact Mexico is one of the mountains countries creating a environment where for 100s of years you have pockets of indegious people to create unique flavors jaja just crazy

[@Arthur_Foxache]

The reason they're going mental on the guacamole is because the avocados actually have taste. The ones we get here (UK) just taste of green, no avocado flavour at all. Source: Me - born/raised in Texas -> last 20 yrs in UK/Italy

[@awelch31]

Lol!! Good Tex/Mex is like a Tuesday for us. Y’all are seriously missing out. They speak about it like it’s some crazy exotic food concept. Hopefully it becomes more common over there. It’s really good. (Like a pancake 😂😂)

Never had tacos, OMG!! Mole is peppers, other spices and raw chocolate. Makes it really rich, ups the flavor.

[@jacobj297]

“I’ve never eaten a taco “ Excuse me, WHAT? Lol

[@janfitzgerald3615]

Some, but not all mole recipes, contain chocolate, but it’s a specific type called “Mexican chocolate” that contains semi sweet chocolate, cinnamon and ground nuts. Ibarra is a popular brand and you don’t really taste the chocolate at all since only a very small amount is used along with so many other spices. The two most common moles used in TexMex cuisine are Mole Poblano, which is red in color and contains lots of dried chile flavor. It is often served on dishes like braised meat like pork or beef. And Mole Negro that you see served in many Mexican restaurants in the United States. With its dark, bitter and sweet flavor, it contains a little more chocolate than the other types of mole sauces.

[@pattiehernandez769]

Ibarra is my favorite , do not like the one shown on this post. my mom family and our neighbor added peanut butter and sugar also . delicious , now I am craving it. used Ibarra for hot chocolate with cinnamon, whip cream and a candy cane to stir

[@armandocornejo7476]

Really enjoyed y’all’s reaction to this. Mole Poblano is my favorite Mexican dish. My mom used to make it at home. This mole does have some chocolate in it but it’s not chocolatey. It’s moe of a spicy ( not hot ) sauce. Always accompanied by a side of rice and beans.

Green chili sauce is not necessarily milder than red sauce . In New Mexico the green chili is hotter than red .

[@vro7181]

Mole sauce is made with chocolate coco bean and spices

[@EagleFang74]

The hottest pepper I’ve ever had was bright yellow. It was a guyanese pepper sauce and almost burned my whole face off. Hot isn’t always red. The yellow and orange peppers can get quite hot.

[@FiresCollide]

I'm convinced it's not about the color, but the size. The tinier a pepper is, the more evil it is. Spicy Satan comes in a tiny package.

From Louisiana and had plenty of chili from all over the south. I've never had chili with steak. Sorry... Usually always based around ground beef (mince) with or without beans.

[@bmoak]

Chocolate is only sweet because sugar as added to it. Without that, it's savory and is used in savory dishes in Mexico, often in combination with other spices and chiles
