Let me know when grits and biscuits and gravy become a staple up north in restaurants
How about eggs scrambled with chorizo (huevos con chorizo)? It's very popular here in the southwest. It's even served at Denny's, I think. Is that up north yet?
Hey my dictionary does not know the word "chorizo"? They haven't taken over yet.
On one trip my wife and I had a very good breakfast in a Hispanic restaurant in the middle of Georgia. It was a very good breakfast.
I also grew up with a particularly obnoxious form of the "Leave it to Beaver" culture and have tried to change ever since. I thank these people for bringing their food with them. It and they make for a more interesting America.
The problem for you Oldglory is that "Mainstream" has changed and you cant accept it. I feel sorry for you more than anything else. Its tough getting older and watching your world change.
Wrong! We still have a mainstream culture. All others are just minority cultures. I have no problem with natural and lawful change but my objection is to change via illegal immigration. Is that not justified?
I didn't say that I don't eat it sometimes. It depends on which part of America you are talking about as to what is popular. In Arizona, it's probably Salsa Verde. In New England, it's probably maple syrup. In the Deep South, it's likely going to be BBQ sauce (of which there are dozens of kinds and styles such as mustard base, ketchup base, brown sugar base, vinegar base...) In Tarpon Springs FL, where there is a huge Greek population, it's going to be white yogurt dill Tziki sauce for gyros and cucumber salad. In New Orleans, it will be tabasco pepper vinegar or hot sauce. So there is nothing special about Mexican salsa and as I said is only prevelant in the southwest.
I had chips and salsa all over the US. Americans eat chips and salsa in every corner of this great land, From sea, to shining sea.
From the New York ilands, to the gulf stream waters, to the redwood forests, these chips and salsa was made for me and you.

One of the coolest things about our country, and apparently something you either want to deny or ignore, is that our culture is an amalgam of cultures of the world. You can get all of those foods in any of our cities. We have such a rich tapestry of tastes. Most of us are thrilled to have choices and culinary experiences from around the world. Why are you such a stick in the mud about it?
