Frightening Food Finds

This find isn't so much frightening as it is just funny as hell. This one was waiting for me in my inbox this morning, courtesy Tarla Dalal, a well-known cooking maven in India.

It's a Mexican fiesta by way of India, folks. Yummy!


Now I realize that for folks in India, Mexican food probably is very exotic and foreign. For most of us, especially those of us living near the border, Mexican food is commonplace and, well, a way of life--including that bastardized, lard-laden version dubbed Tex-Mex. But to see if presented to an audience that's relatively inexperienced with the stuff--and to see the phonetic translations of familiar Mexican dishes--it's just damn hilarious and makes you take a moment to consider just how much we take for granted in our culinary palettes.


Mmmm.... The husband loves him some faheetas. They go well with kehso.

If you're somewhat familiar with Indian food and want a good laugh, check out this other recipe for making fajitas--including the tortillas--from scratch.
