Oh my god. Tzatziki sauce is my shit, bruh. Cucumber, plain yogurt, and dill is pretty much all it is if I remember right.

Have you ever had a taco, OP? That's \ˈtä-(ˌ)kō\ They're usually fried corn/flour tortillas filled with meat, cheese, and simple vegetables. I doubt you've heard of them, but they'll blow your fucking mind!

You know what pisses me off? Food truck tacos. Like, what the shit is this soft corn tortilla? Lightly toasted?! And you put cabbage on it? Get the fuck out of here with that shit.
I've, uhhh...suffered disappointment in life at the hands of a food truck taco.

I'm guessing taco bell is the furthest you've ventured into "ethnic cuisine"?

You need to eat at better food trucks, some make bomb taco's.
Spanakopita is the best greek food IMO, so damn tasty

humus and baba ganoush are my favorites. All Greek foods are extremely easy to make too. Food's been around when Socrates was still in his cave, gawking at shadows.

Nah, I usually really like authentic dishes. For some reason, that combo just threw me for a loop. I'm not a fan of unfried corn tortillas (unless they're in a nice, saucy enchilada), and uncooked cabbage...I just can't. If it's not coleslaw, I better smell some steamy vinegar all up in that cabbage.

It's definitely one of my favorite things to eat and I don't really have much money so I don't go out that often but when I do I like to try new things that I can possibly make cheaply later

honestly, r., I'm just giving you a hard time because taco trucks are where you get the most authentic mexican foods in most western countries. Most restaurants have to Americanize/Canadianize/Britianize(?)/etc. to cater to the lowest common denominator, but taco trucks don't really do that at all. Cabbage is probably a regional thing, because many authentic tacos don't have cabbage.

We just have different approaches, man. I always ate out to eat foods that there's NO way I could make on my own... Then after eating it enough, I make it. I'm thinking about going to culinary school, so I shouldn't be as snoody about Pub acculturation as I've been. I live in WA (a port state with lots of immigration from everywhere), so I was just surprised by the lack of exposure. Forget my negativity, lol
brk, definitely. You should see how the Malay spell all their British foods and words. They have adopted the spelling to match their phonetic structure...some Philippine examples. Misis=mrs., Pulis=Police. etc. etc. It's common yiros is to Gyros as Shiraz is to Syrrah.

Never had one. I have a recipe in my "to make list" for them though.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Yeah they're pretty good. Kind of greasy but good. That tatziki sauce is murderous on the burps though.

Looks like it. We call em kebabs in this part of the world. The food of the piss-head (drunk) on a friday night. I love em. It was the only meat dish I missed when I was vegetarian. In fact, I missed em so much I'd treat myself to one every now and again.

Haha, consider it forgotten. I'm not even going to pretend to have a sophisticated palate. I'll eat and enjoy mostly anything else. I'm good at picking out flavors, but I'm hard pressed to find something I don't enjoy.
Hey, as someone with more experience in authentic cuisine, would you mind describing a traditional taco salad (if there is any such thing)?

Well around here a taco salad can be just a bunch of tacos smashed up in a bowl with the usual ingredients, or out of a resturant, pretty much the same ingredients but in a big taco shell. Those mexican fellows are good at making fifty different plates out of the same 4 ingredients.

Kebabs are completely different in Greek cuisine. They're these:
Those are afghani, but it's the same in both cultures. You guys call gyros kebabs because at one point, someone confused the two and it became normative (like we call the Aboriginals in our country "Indians". You guys are strange 
r., I don't really know, but I think a taco salad is a foreign adaptation of a Mexican dish (tacos), so I doubt there's really an authentic one... salads originated in 500BC from the greek (who invented the thumbs up, so any culture that uses that, probably eats salad), but idk if a taco salad is authentic or what. If anything, it's like Amanita says: regional taco ingredients all chopped up (probably leftover from the day prior). I'm not Mexican, but the Mexican vegetable mixes I've been exposed to are like ceviche and pico de gayo.
I hope someone mexican can chime in!
