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.

    Indian food is a huge variety mind you. Even the texture of tandoori chicken?

      Yeah that comment doesn’t really make sense. I feel like the most common Indian food around me is saucy meat and/or vegetables with rice. Which is very similar texture to many many other cuisines. But variety exists.

        My coworker also told me that he didn’t like Indian or Mexican food so I asked him over time about food he likes and his diet is mostly pb&j, spaghetti, or those frozen chicken pot pies with the grandma on the packaging

          Some people eat a very limited range of foods and it’s often the same things over and over again. There can be various reasons for this.
