What's a typical meal for you guys?

I almost never eat breakfast, as for the rest of my food I never skip meals until recently because I'm on a diet. I normally eat anything thats around at the time. Not to exciting I'm afraid

Xerdo: Wonder what the capsicum content in the very spicy sauce is, habanero can be right there at the top of the scale. I used to grow habanero and likely am going to start again, I'm a pepper guy I adore Mexican food and am very disappointed that I can't get tomates verde anymore, I guess I'm going to have to start growing my own.

BTW, what's the most typical cheese for quesadillas? Asadero?

 

Well, moving out to college accomodation has certainly changed my eating habits.

Breakfast: usually kicked off with Capuccino-flavoured cereal (it's like "muesli" if that word rings a bell with anyone), orange juice, then coffee, and one or two slices of bread.

First intra-lecture break: usually an apple or something I don't have to prepare in advance.
Lunch: slices of bread with peanut butter, cheese, tuna salad (add in a bit of ketchup & pepper), "curry stuff" which is like curry-flavoured salad thingiewhatever which is damn cheap at Aldi, more coffee.

Supper is often savoured at Catena (the student club) where one can get a very decent three-course meal for 3 euros; usually consists of soup, followed by a dish that contains a decent amount of vegetables (something I usually forget when cooking on my own), followed by a simple dessert. The only catch is, there's a chance that you're picked to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen, which is HELL - so, I formed the "Gonzo-Shintoistic Dishwashing Consortium" with 2 friends and all is fine now

And sometimes, when I'm in need of a decent bite, I cut open a pita bread, put in a few slices of old cheese, and put it in the oven. Halfway through I bake some spam, and when the oven's ready, I put the spam on the pita bread, add mustard, and a few pickles. Mmmm!

 

Same here, although the japanese big tub instant noodles still have a hold on me. Luckily I live close to a postgrad bar where they do unbelievably cheap meals (by UK standards), cooked by a decent chef, a friend of mine as it happens. I'll be off there in a minute, getting pretty hungry reading all this stuff about food...

 

Kyuusaku - Ah, you should try my mom's "tomate verde" sauce. On pretty much anything (gordita, quesadilla, you name it!) it's great. My dad usually makes it more spicy, though.

About the Ahogada sauce... it's not the capsicum content, really. There's "spicy" and then there's "stupid spicy" - like... some sauces you enjoy the flavour so it really doesn't burn because it just tastes right. Some others, like this one, are just there to be annoyingly hot. Should you ever choose to get a torta ahogada, get it with little to no spicy sauce (but, of course, get all the regular sauce you can) - or you'll be suffering.

 

Geez. I can barely handle a "medium" spicey commercially made salsa. I think I'd die if I tried that Ahogada sauce!

 

Whatever my mom makes for dinner. I also don't eat breakfast or lunch, and every Friday we go out to eat Mexican food. I always get the Chicken fajitas with cheese. Sometimes on Saturday, we might go out to Texarkana, or stay home. We also go out to eat lunch after church at the same restaraunt we go to on Friday nights on Sunday. I get the "Lunch-sized" version of the chicken fajitas with cheese. If my mom has to stay at school late at night, Me and my dad sometimes get burgers at Sonic, or one of our local gas stations. The gas station burger is the greasiest burger on earth. The paper wrapping it up looks invisible almost. Other than that we sometimes get KFC. I don't like eating KFC while playing games, though. I tend to slip. :smt042

 

You do realize that about everyone and their dog advise against that, do you?

 

He wants to slow down his metabolism. ;-)

 

But thats how you make your immune system weak by not eating regularly.

 

Or die...

 

Or both...

 

I'm sure I would, I would put salsa verde on every meal if I could, I've pretty much already tried it on every food item I eat If there was one recipe I need to perfect it's that. I used to buy it by the quart at my favorite market/restaurant (pretty expensive) so I've tried over the years to recreate theirs, but I could never make it as well as them. Now since I can't buy the tomate verde (we call them tomatillos here) I'm screwed :\ I must strart growing them and perfect the recipe and get my fix hehe

 

Typical meal...

Well, It's exam week here, so I haven't eaten for 24 hours...
Before that it was Taco Bell (DON'T Take an exam with Taco Bell in Your System)
Last weekend, I ate chinese food exclusively.
Before that, on Wednesday, I ate nothing but an entire pizza.
Yeah, I haven't felt that good, but I've been really busy.

Now things are a little bit crazy, but I'm known to eat sandwiches. Constantly. Really, anything in the sanwich family. Cheesesteaks, lunchmeat, meatball, tuna/chicken salad. Basically anything you can cram on a roll. Once I get home, I'll just be gobbling up whatever is around the house.

 

Kyuusaku.

If you're ever in Guadalajara, be sure to stop by. One of my mom's passtimes is overfeeding guests. Same invitation goes to everyone else.
And about the quesadilla cheese question - you can use Oaxaca or Chihuahua cheese, Asadero, Manchego, or anything similar, even Panela and Cotija. Hell, I use Gouda regularly and it's great.
Don't try Gruyere, though. It just doesn't work.

 

Since real Mexican cheese is pretty rare here, I've been raised on (Monterrey) jack quesadillas while most Americans were cheddar, was wondering your preference
PS, I'd never try Gruyere, isn't that like Swiss? o_0

 

I eat pretty big dinners, though. I eat lunch when I am at home. Saturdays, and Sundays.

 

I just had some rotisserie chicken and some little debbie swiss cake rolls with some soda and now I'm drinking water.

 

Swiss cheese? Sounds interesting, and I hope it tastes the same too .

 

Yeah, they're similar.

Yet, Edam and Gouda are also similar to swiss (they're Dutch, though. Or at least called Dutch down here), and Gouda is very good on quesadillas (Edam isn't bad, either). I'm talking, of course, about REAL corn tortillas, not those weak Wheat-Flour ones (which, however, are great on many other dishes).

Swiss is good on sandwiches or by itself, I guess.
I've had quesadillas with some sort of variation of cheddar, and it wasn't bad at all. I'm pretty sure it wasn't real cheddar, though.
