@FyreFly08 Mexican culture and food is hardly known in Europe. You can't miss what you don't know.

This reminds me of the time I, a resident of Texas, studied abroad in London. We all received an email that explained things about how life would be in London and what to expect. One of the things that it said, I will never forget, was: "If, and only if, you are truly desperate for Tex-Mex, there is one restaurant in all of London that serves it. It's called The Texas Embasay. And it is not nearly as good as what you're probably used to."

[@Szcz00r]

Most of European cuisine is not spicy at all. Especially in countries further north. I'm from Poland and people look at me all weird when I eat whole raw Cayenne Peppers, or slices of Habanero with my dinner. They say I'm going to burn a hole in my stomach, since most consider pickled jalapenos to be too hot for their taste. Well nowadays You can maybe find a couple of pizza and burger places here and there, that offer carolina reaper sauce, which is quite spicy indeed. So spicy in fact that after a couple of hours it burns after peeing for a moment.

None of my tías’ recipes use cumin or paprika or chili powder, and oregano is used as a condiment in specific circumstances.

@@miguelmatienzoguer That’s fair. But those are specific dishes.

Having lived in the UK for almost 2 years, and having seen their idea of “Mexican” food in the stores there, I can confirm that this is par for the course. The salsa at Sainsbury’s is a true travesty.

@@ryutheslayer123 The salsa is super sweet. It’s a level of sweetness that wouldn’t be appropriate outside of a mango salsa. Fortunately I tasted it before I added it to my taco filling. Also, I’m not surprised that they were having such a time with the tortillas; the “corn tortillas” sold over there were a texture that I’ve never encountered before or since.
