Comments on: 8.30pm: American and Australian recipes http://www.ladylunchalot.com/2006/07/30/830pm-american-and-australian-recipes/ Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all. ~ Harriet van Horne Sun, 20 Jul 2008 22:51:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 by: Lady Lunchalot http://www.ladylunchalot.com/2006/07/30/830pm-american-and-australian-recipes/#comment-312 Sun, 30 Jul 2006 11:42:56 +0000 http://www.ladylunchalot.com/2006/07/30/830pm-american-and-australian-recipes/#comment-312 It's funny you mention the Mexican thing. I was talking with a friend the other day about hwo Mexican food has never really been big there. I mean, there are a scattering of a few Taco Bill type places around, but generally Mexican food was a bit of an 80s thing. I often cook burritos at home - they're my partner's favourite. I'm sure my version is nothing like the authentic Mexican burrito, but it's a tasty quick way to have a healthy meal with some fresh raw veggies. It’s funny you mention the Mexican thing.

In general though, and particularly whenever I've ventured outside of Portland, I've noticed that the American palate does like things a lot sweeter than mine. Even the damn bread is sweet here, unless you get the hippy kind with grains and oats and so on (which I do). First American food memory: aaaaah, the butter is white and the cheese is orange! One big advantage of living in the US, though: burritos. Mmmmm. Can you get decent Mexican food in Melbourne? I never could find any in Brisbane, Sydney or central Qld, and those are the only places I lived in Aus.
