This is the right category to ask seeing as there are certain dietary restrictions that both Jews and Muslims MUST adhere to.  Anything from a pig is forbidden including anything made from pig leather.  They can't even keep one of those little Vietnamese Pot Bellied pigs as a pet.

Just plain ol' Guatemalteco is good enough for Mexicans most of the time. There's so many jokes about them already. You know how Pennsylvanians make fun of the Polacks and the Camdenites make fun of the Jews? That's how Guatemalans are for Mexico.

Oh my goodness this is soo funny.  Thank you so much for letting me tell this story.  Okay so awhile back one of my good friends Jorge (who's Mexican), his (now) wife (who is generally fairly quiet) and I were driving to a movie and my friend pondered outloud, "did you ever notice how different cultures smell like the foods they eat?"  I sort of tentatively muttered in the affirmative and he continued, "Mexicans smell like burritos.  Asians smell like fish.  Indians smell like curry."  We all laughed. Then I wondered and asked, "what do white people smell like?" Without skipping a beat, Fatima immediately replied, "sandwiches."\n\nOhhhhohohhhooooooooohh!!!!!! Did we laaaugh!!! And it's sooooo true!!!! If there is any cultural food of caucasians it has to be the sandwich.  Think.. PB&J. Hamburgers, Hot dogs, subs, philly cheese steaks.  They are all sandwiches of one sort or another!!!!!\n\nWe smell like sandwiches. Mystery solved. ROFLMAO

I'm an American living in China and frankly I wish we had some good taco restaraunts here.\n\nHowever, beef is expensive and hard to procure due to the lack of cattle and sufficient grazing land on the east coast. Pigs are the 'meat' of choice. Most restaraunts that serve actual beef import it from New Zealand or Australia. I have no idea what McDonalds serves, but it sure isn't beef.\n\nAnother issue is market. I don't think the Chinese would have a problem adapting to taco's in the long run as I've watched them quickly adapt to McDonalds and KFC (there are plenty of fat little Chinese kids to support that observation), but we did have one or two restaraunts that gave it a shot at taco's and failed. \n\nThere is one in the town I live at that has been fairly successful, though. It is called Havannah's and my family and I eat at it every three or four weeks. The taco's aren't very good, but worth visiting once in awhile.

btw before i answer your question, how can i contact you?\n\nfor your question, which is better prefered, BK or McD? well not to be bias, i hate BK, i worked there before and they are very dirty from the back food prep area and their lunchroom is the storage room. they reuse the old veggies, ie. tomatoes, onions, etc. theres no expiration dates on them too. and the meats that are frozen aren't dated. we don't use gloves whenever we cook, and don't really follow guidelines in good hygine....

First question is obvious, to find them in an already illuminated area instead of looking for them in the darkness.\nSecond question, Also obvious, the impact on the target is not the same if its used other language.\nThird question is a matter of taste, Spanish ham, when is "iberico y de bellota" is simply the most delicass ham in the world, nothing to do with salty and rare prosciutto or the similar "jambon de Bayonne".  Produced with a race of pork that only lives in Spain, and eating only the nut of the Oak tree. Its alimentation gives the ham its special taste, and makes also its fat to be the healthiest between animal fat. But as stated, it is a matter of taste, I prefer foreigners not to discover how delicious it is becouse its price is enough high (80-120€/Kg) as to increase more due to international demand.

Sushi is International food now, is not possible to Mexican to eat sushi.\nBut for me, I eat any kind of food, sushi is so good, indian food spicy & chinese food so yummy.

when asking your server at a restaurant for your bill, try asking for "the dolorosa" instead of the check, or the bill!It's not an insult, and if they are Spanish they will get a kick out of it. No kidding!

Where my husband is from, the best product would be nice wood furniture or electronics. In Tlaxcala (the state next to Puebla) they do not have many trees and the furniture is poorly made, sofas are hard, beds dont come bigger than full size etc. Many things are cheaper in Mexico than the US, but electronics are not. We bought a rice maker for $70! We really wanted one and we could only find the one. There are ways to bring items into Mexico legally.

I grew up in the country.  We feed the animals, gave them names.  Come Christmas we killed a pig. I was about sixteen when they finally let me see the actual slaughter.  Gunshot to the head.  Did it turn me off to meat. Nope.  I just appreciate the animal more.  I know the prepackaged meat comes from livestock that isn't lovingly taken care of.  But sometimes I wonder if my burger is one of the cows we sold off.

You should ask to talk to a manager if your server is unable to help you because all restaurants are required to have nutritional information available for their customers. Sometimes they may wind up referring you to their website or something, but they really should have that information available for ALL of their customers at their time of arrival. If the restaurant does not, maybe you should look for the ones that DO have the nutritional information. Chain restaurants are usually the easiest because they have a standard measurement of ingredients in their food, so they are the same whether you are in Alaska or Florida.\n\n-EA

I'm Italian and married a Mexican man. We've actually had to both learn and adopt eachother's traditions/cultures. For instance during Christmas many Mexican households eat Tamales and participate in Posadas. I have since learned how to make Tamales and visit his family in Mexico to do Posadas. My family always has fish on Christmas Eve, and doesn't eat meat on Fridays. My husband has accepted this traidition as well, and now enjoys it. It think it's fun to learn all the ways people keep their culture alive, and to celebrate them. It also has opened my eyes and it will be something we share with our children.
