Ha, Old El Paso is about as Mexican as Taco Bell. But at the same rate I grew up 30 miles from the border and it took until I moved to Maine to consider Mexican food as anything other than just food, and to be clear there’s no Chicano genes in my body.

I have no idea what lasagna shepherd’s pie is. I like them both on their own, and probably want to leave it that way.

Is your last example bad specifically because it’s by a white person? What if it was a chicken and waffle taco by a Latino person? African American? Chinese?

I’m not trying to be a dick, I just…want to eat and cook whatever tastes good.
