I think the Laserbeam's usually sharp focus seems to have gotten a bit blurred. He's
assuming a homogeniety to Mexican Cuisine that is worthy of debate on this list
as a topic unto itself. Now I don't know much about Mexican Cuisine other than a
little about what you can get [sic] in Tijuana. But wouldn't someone in,
say, Irkutsk, discussing food that was really REALLY American have a problem if
he or she was thinking about a place that served grits for breakfast as opposed
to one that featured Froot Loops, pancakes, or steak-and-eggs? Yet we
of University City's most enlightened classes know that all three are
really REALLY American. And, what if those grits were actually Cream of Wheat
instead of hominy because wheat is available to the restaurant chain at a low
price and corn is expensive?
Wouldn't it stand to reason that a restaurant that served Pan de Pascua
might be as authentically Mexican as one that featured Cosas Pequenas
Dulces?
