Food is deeply ingrained in cultural identity, and is one way to learn about a community’s heritage, familial customs and values. In the U.S., Mexican food is one of the most popular cuisines, with 1 in 10 restaurants serving Mexican, according to recent findings from the Pew Research Center. This trend reflects an expanding Mexican American population, with 37.2 million people or 11.2% of the U.S. population tracing their ancestry back to Mexico.
Not reflecting expanding population, reflecting that it’s good fucking food regardless of where your stupid grandparents are from. And the fact that it’s typically cheaper fare in a country brutally and constantly raped by capitalism.
Grandparents are kinda stupid.
