To cut to the chase, the literal translation of pico de gallo is "beak of the rooster" which is hilarious, and not really related to what it actually is. I asked my wife what the direct translation for pico de gallo was, and she just stared laughing, saying that no one has ever asked her, and she hasn't ever thought about it before.

I think I'm going to ask for a side of beak of the rooster at an authentic Mexican restaurant in the future and see how that goes.

The difference & interpretation is like what is chili?

There's green, red, green & red sauce.

In parts of NM and AZ you ask for a steak, or burger smothered in green chili. You'll get diced green chilis on it.

In CO you'll get a CO style green.

Eating in parts of AZ made me miss Casa Bonita. On another note, I made an actual effort to eat at Spic n Span on my way home, but Google turned retarded and sent me to the Las Vegas visitor center in the center of town, instead of the rest stop just before town, in the middle of the night. So I wasn't going to back track like 25 miles just for breakfast and I missed out. I'm still mad about that.

I agree. One would "think" as close as AZ is compared to CO, to de border. The food would be much better, sadly it's not.

BUT i believe part of that is they cater to a mostly anglo crowd. Who for some, black pepper is TOO HOT!!!

That's my general impression.

Traveled to Austin many years ago and visited 6th Street.
My co-worker was Hispanic, born and raised in southern Colorado.
We went to a Mexican restaurant, and the smothered enchiladas were actually covered in brown gravy.
He loved telling that story.
Yep!

That first link makes me hungry.

Saw this the other day, and the original episode they reference in the beginning. Thinking of going out tomorrow to shoot at coyotes. Think I should bring back a ham to try out?

Go for it. Doubt I am going to be hungry enough to try coyote anytime soon.

it's the same as "chinese" food. Different regions, Hunan, Cantonese, Szechuan, to name a few. While generally lumped in to one, the food varies from region-region.

OBC is out of surgery and resting at home.

I suggested his better half, krazy glue 2 fingers on his other hand together. Then tell him the surgeons had to do emergency surgery on it. .
