As bad as eating Mexican food in Slovakia made by someone who's only seen pictures of Mexican food, but has never even read a recipe.

@GayDeceiver You say this like it’s a bad thing.
I saw my friend order enchiladas verdes in Berlin and get handed a plate with red sauce on it.
He said "ah but I ordered enchiladas verdes"
The staffer looked confused, said "yes..." And pointed to them and said Enchiladas verdes.(Verde means green in Spanish, it's supposed to be a tomatillo sauce)
And yet it was still better than Mexican food in the UK, where (seriously) they do not know that you need to nixtamalize maize before you can make tortillas, on Great Bri'ish Bakeoff they just had them grind up boiled kernels. Those were the jankiest looking tortillas I have ever seen and they were all like "ough I _dew_ love a tack-oh".
Just call it Frothy Spooge in the Bog or some other island name and let me approach it with an open mind.

@GayDeceiver @TwoClownsEating Though now that I say it, tortilla wrapped BBQ doesn't sound all that bad.
@JessTheUnstill @GayDeceiver @TwoClownsEating Ots delicious if your filling his brisket.

@TwoClownsEating @GayDeceiver When I was a kid on summer holiday in Devon all meals in the hotel seemed to arrive with the same brown sauce, main and dessert. I also nearly drowned in raw sewage on the beach out front. Possibly not a 'perfect' holiday...
Standard 1970s British seaside holiday. No idea why everyone flocked to the Costa del Sol as soon as it became affordable.

@GayDeceiver @TwoClownsEating So you're saying enchiladas are meat wrapped in a tortilla covered with a red sauce. Okay, BBQ sauce it is.
@JessTheUnstill Do you want to tempt the wrath of the whatever from high atop the thing? Because Huitzilopchtli has brothers. @GayDeceiver @TwoClownsEating

Worse than Evanescence opening for Goatsnake.

When we were in India, we bought something called an "enchilarga," which was a subcontinental vibe cooking attempt at an enchilada. It was like an egg roll the size of your head. There were peas and okra in it. It was literally edible in the worst way.

@TwoClownsEating @GayDeceiver Vibe cooking? Sounds worse than Vibe Coding.
It looks similar, near enough is good enough.

@eestileib @adhdeanasl @GayDeceiver seriously - the Brits do not know Mexican (or its spinoff, TexMex) or anything about it...
I made enchiladas for a bunch of Brit friends once when I was living in Spain
I warned them to be a little careful with the tabasco sauce, to which one replied, "We're British. We eat spicy Indian food all the time" and dunked it on like ketchup
I thought "his eyeballs bled" was just an expression up to that point
