Some people think salsa is a condiment. I tend to think of it as a fifth food group. This might be my greatest sacrifice in spending these last several months in London. There are about four, okay maybe five, Mexican restaurants in the whole city.
Jill works with a woman who’s married to a Mexican guy. We thought they should know where the burritos are, right? Well, yes… they do. And yes, we have no burritos, no salsa, no chips in this town… unless you count nacho cheese Doritos. Not the same!
Jill’s parents just came to visit, so we tried one of the four Mexican joints we’ve heard of. They come from Texas, so we figured we’d either have some good food or a genuine cross-cultural experience. We knew we were in trouble when they brought bottles of ketchup and malt vinegar with the nachos.
Amazing. I just moved into my new place yesterday and found a pizza joint less than 3 blocks from home that serves burritos, tacos, tortas and that like as well. I probably have more Mexican restaurants within a mile of my house than you have in all of London. Amazing.
i’m in town april 30th-12th, ted. do las pinatas in my hood with me? some things to dance around, mesh is one of them, but we find a time. hope you’ll be in town.
Yes, I’m back to Chicago on the 1st. Let’s definitely get together.
