Abq The Official Question of the State of NM...Red or Green? (just for fun)

I like green but I am not found of being on the toilet for hours after I eat it.

 

LOL! The hotter the better!!

 

i am the wuss in the group having not grown up on the stuff i stay away from it... maybe i will get used to it but i don't know i am not about to order my hamburger at mucdonalds (or pizza) with it on it... ewww, on the side so i can push off on someone else and give me some nice bland british food....

 

My wife and I were in London last August and we had some fantastic food....not bland at all! Of course we ate at McDonalds everyday! LOL!!! OK...I am kidding....we ate Pub food almost everyday we were there! While we were in Munich....we ate brauts and beer....ok ok and some McDonalds too!

 

All I remember of the food in England when I was there about 10 years ago was that a side salad was sprouts on a slice of bread, that McDonald's hamburgers had a TON of onions, and the locals favorite "imported" beer was Coors!!!!!!

 

yummy british foods...drool... they do have great foods in britian and some great fattening deserts! hehehe

 

Varza -

My sis-in-law is from England (York) and goes to visit about once a year. I always ask her to bring back some tea and digestive biscuits (the chocolate covered!) Can't find them anywhere here. (MMMMM..getting hungry again.)

 

I'm gonna go with green on a cheeseburger, and red on everything else.

The only memorable food during my trip to England was at an Indian restaurant in London. Very good, but I had to get up extra early to be sure I'd make it through the next morning's plane ride without any accidents.

 

LMAO

 

man... Redgek you needed to try the summer pudding. talk about yummy... if i explain it i will just want to eat it...

I looked in the phone book for pubs and can't find any... i want some fish and chips

 

Varza,
I just saw a ad that Carl's Jr has Fish & Chips now! LOL! I can just imagine what they taste like. Hamburger joints need to stick to hamburgers!

 

I think i will agree with you on that one. I will wait until I find a real British pub to get my fish and chips at...

 

You're right, V. There's a lot I didn't get to do, see, and eat during my short time in England.

 

so why do people put chili on things it just covers up the flavors.... at least i think it does...

 

I love the way red chili blends all the flavors in an enchilada mmmmmmmmm......
I know it takes time to develop it we had friends from Texas that just couldn't understand.

 

>>so why do people put chili on things it just covers up the flavors.... at least i think it does...

I felt that way when I got here in '94, having grown up on Tex-Mex. I've since acquired a taste for New Mexican, and even a fairly regular craving for Red or Green. I don't think NM food is better, but it's just as good, and it's nice to get something different.

When I want less red/green and more flavor, Los Betos works for me. I like it from the drive-thru late at night with a couple of beers, sitting my fat arse in a recliner, watching whatever's on Comedy Central.

 

you crack me up!

Where's Los Betos?

BTW, the fiery food show was last weekend - talk about putting chile on everything! Chile on peanut brittle (red), mangoes, pickles, you name it. Had to try it at least. I must say, most of it is pretty tasty, but you can't taste anything else after the first 10 minutes of sampling.

 

My wife and I wanted to go to that! But we got stuck working!

 

i almost went to that but was cheap didn't want to spend money to go in. One day maybe I will try it, went ot Guardunos last night and would of but my stomach had been bothering me all day i thought it probably wasn't best...

 

There's a Los Betos on Gibson, but I prefer the one on San Mateo and Lomas. It's been a while since I've eaten there. We moved to the west side last year and it's a little far to drive with take-out.

If anyone here tries it and thinks it sucks don't blame me. I'm not recommending it, I'm just saying that I like it.

 

must try it out anyways...

That place rocks! Food is cheap, they're open REALLY late, and did I mention cheap.

I like the one on San Mateo and Lomas best. I used to manage the McDonald's on San Pedro and Menual and every Saturday night after closing I head to Los Betos and grab a chicken burrito. It was simmered in red chili and I would get cheese and sour cream on it. I could go for one of those right now. There's no good Mexican food within 40 miles of Boston.


EDIT: Oh yeah, red chile is the way to go. Green is good but red has more flavor to it.

 

Moby -

We feel your pain. Lack of good chile is too tragic. My best friend moved to Kansas City a while back, and when I visit her this weekend I promised to bring a few pounds of frozen chile to her. Hope airport security is ok with that....
