Americans vs Mexican Food

- Trigger Warning: The content of this video was produced after a real conversation on Discord. One of the participants was a man of outrageously ignorant and unacceptable views that might offend some audiences. He is no friend of ours and the purpose of this video is to defend Mexican culture from such views.
Mexican food has a great reputation but... Nobody knows it. Big brands like Taco Bell have successfully managed to mislead the world's understanding of what Mexican food is, along with the fact that it is not Mexico but the USA that shows the world what "Mexican culture" is. This video's purpose is to dismantle pseudo-Mexican food to tell people about Mexican food.

"Writes a bible of insults" fucking ended me.
I didn't think it was possible for a walking-talking right winger stereotype to actually exist, then French Baguette Intelligence introduced me to Volkeh.
Until a year ago, we had Trump.
@@9Godslayer at the very least, Trump wanted to free (or at least entertained the possibility of freeing) Larry Hoover. That alone honestly makes me think he’s got a tiny bit more nuance than the average /B/tard /Pol/ack who can barely get their name out to their highschool crush before (ironically) ranting about Femoids and playing Moon Man.
I get the feeling Volkeh tries hard to come off that way. Like, *really* hard.
Any moderate rightists would be disturbed by his behavior, as they should be.
@@ThunderTheBlackShadowKitty
Can confirm.
Peck that guy.
“you need a strong jawline to get b*tches!”
Oh thank you Volkeh, I’m thankful that someone so WELL VERSED in the art of GETTING BITCHES could guide me.
Incels talk about how to get women because they never had one.
But of course.
Volkeh would be an expert at looksmaxxing
I like how this video started with Volkeh's insanity and then evolved into "Fun facts about Mexican food with FC", but then Volkeh rose from the ashes like the demon he is
Who started the Mexican food thing… this was about tacos
@@travelingmerchant6434 fc
Volkeh is the Least bloodthirsty Khornate.
@@rayfrizelle54 And they called FC a Karen and the mod even changed his name to "Karen" for calling them out for it. Even *Bowl* was on FC's side (to an extent, anyway) and he got kicked before he was even able to finish "Rule Britannia."
The disrespect.
2:10 can we just appreciate that Cleo responded to Volkeh’s first tirade with the fucking *M A C A R E N A*
21:41 the way she just exclaims “jugo de naranja” as an objection to everything volkeh is saying is probably one of my favorite things ever and will be something i quite daily con mis amigos que hablan español.
What does "jugo the naranja" mean? I got the jist of pretty much everything she said except that

@@brink7894 oh, makes sense
Eso suena a una idea terrible.
It's nice to see Mexican culture represented as it truly is and not the bullshit that you get from Taco bell, thanks man
“Taco bell is real food”
“Taco Bell is Mexican”
Taco Bell is probably the best Americanized Mexican food.
thats not even tex-mex
You're not french if you're not teaching someone the ways of his country while being condescending. This is the true French sigma grind.
The fact Volkeh could go on and on saying "B****r" and insulting everybody and was only banned when he said "You must be Californian" really made me laugh my ass off. He crossed a line there for sure, can't be using the C word willy nilly like that.
As a Californian I found it extremely offense when he said that and I am disappointed that it was not censored
If you really want a laugh replace that with 'Butter'
Id like to see Volkeh go to Compton, say some racist things, and see his body dumped into the LA River. It'll make a world of difference when he's gone.
The c-slur is unacceptable.
Wait, what is the slur? Bugger? Here that's like a minor "ah shit" kinda thing. I guess same with cunt, where it's pretty minor here.
This video has everything an English speaking Mexican could ask for:
-Calling Taco Bell food "chingaderas"
-Appreciation for authentic Mexican food (and culture)
-Funny af broken Spanish
-Swearing in Spanish
-Kicking off a racist dumbass
Seriously tho, the food examples were on point. Maybe missing tamales, but still excellent selection nonetheless.
Tamales de elote (corn tamales) are delicious, they are sweet 💕💕
A lot of our cuisine is spicy, yes, that's true, but we also have truly delicious desserts, and a world record on the biggest _Mazapán_ hahah
I laughed when I looked up what chingaderas meant.
There's a place in town that sold me tamales once. I ate them all... then I asked my Mexican friend if they were supposed to taste super-corny. He said no, the wrapper is supposed to be left behind. Turned out the supposedly authentic Mexican place had poured the sauce all over the wrapped tamales and never told me I had to eat around the wrapper. My friend was so upset that standards were so lax, but I bet the staff got a kick out of me giving them back an empty plate and a weird expression. Wonder if that's how some of them cope with having to bastardize their own food just to appeal to the States' uneducated taste buds.
For the record, next time I have tamales, I'm leaving the wrappers!
@@donjay710 Yeah never eat the husk, instead of the moist and delicious tamales you want, you'll get taught an important lesson on why humans aren't goats.
Tamales are like empanadas, all across latin america, as a Peruvian, i eat Tamales since when i was a baby, and so on, its a good dish to start the day
Allowing derogatory insults towards an entire country but banning the moment they insult Californians is peak Discord mod behavior.
Facts
Maybe, but it's clear by the time Volkeh used Californians as a slur, everybody there was tired of his shit. I imagine the mod was as well. He'd already been muted once during the video, too, and his behavior was...well, you saw the video.
Don't forget he was also warned on numerous occasions before getting muted
I love Cleo, she is just happy to be there and having fun while doing so
Cleo isn't even having a discussion she's just there

Cleo is the best, this guy goes on a rant and she just starts singing the macarena
@@cheeto.burrito and then she says this 16:13
6:53 I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with everything Gringo says here. It's something that has bothered me for a while but rarely see people speaking about: the weird self-hatred some Americans have. For some reason they don't want to be seen as _"just_ American", no. So now they are "Mexican", "latino", "*insert minority here*"
Your parents being Mexican won't change the fact that you weren't raised there and you haven't bothered to learn about their culture or language. It won't change the fact that you're American.
But that's not bad either. It's okay to be American, embrace that, HAVE SOME DIGNITY. The place you are from (in this case USA), your culture, is fundamental in shaping the way you think and see things. Trying to hide that with "umm, my mom is Mexican so I'm too" is stupid. I'm half-Colombian, but never call myself one because aside from the heritage, I'm not really that well-versed in their culture, it's just not my country.
It's also pretty annoying to people from that culture. Most of the time the only thing they have in common, like it's said in the video, is the skin color.
Unrelated, but Cleo's comments were hilarious. JUGO DE NARANJA!
People don't talk about self-hatred in Americans because it is drowned out by patriots/jingoists like Volkeh who scream about how America is the greatest country on earth and has zero flaws
it's not self-hatred it's pc culture
@@pikminologueraisin2139 No it’s self hatred. It probably goes hand in hand with other self hating American ideas, like the idea that America lacks a culture, for instance.
People, for whatever reason, don’t want to be “American”. Maybe it’s culture envy I don’t know.
Obviously given America’s track record it makes sense to feel a twinge of shame at the thought of being the same nationality of undesirables such as Woodrow Wilson or Henry Kissinger, but to fully try and shed America from your identity isn’t feasible or reasonable.
As someone born in America, who’s lived there for most of their childhood if not all of it, you are American. You eat American food more often than not, you speak with American dialects and accents, you may even have a house or kids in America.
Nothing can change your roots, and your roots are Red, White and Blue.
To try and deny that is not only stupid, it’s harmful. You’re denying yourself the pride everyone’s entitled to by virtue of being apart of a culture, you’re not allowing yourself to be proud of what’s real so to speak. Everyone should find pride in who they are if it’s up to circumstance, but it’s important to really know who you are. I didn’t control being American but I know I’m American and I tell you what I’m proud to be American, cause otherwise I’d be proud of a me that I’m just not. I’m not Venezuelan, or Cuban, or Honduran, or German, I’m American.
If I move to these places maybe I can be a German-American, or a Honduran-American, but until then I am plain old American, and for the time being I wouldn’t have it any other way.
@@pikminologueraisin2139 it's bit of both really hell you could even say that self hatred birthed PC culture
y'all are making me doubt
Being a Mexican I just LOVE how a non-mexican (french specifically, which makes it much more interesting) enters in depth about a lot of Mexican food with utter confidence and genuine knowledge.
Not even I would be able to explain nor argument in my favour on such detail, just a really enjoyable video as always.
I'm sure you could if you tried.
@@frenchbaguetteintelligence Just as a note I am Mexican and also most of the food you mentioned is from the center and north of Mexico, In the South there's an even more type of food called "Comida Yucatana" in wich some of my favorite plates are: Cochinita Pibil y Sopa de Lima
And also there are multiple classic beverages to go with Mexican food: Agua de Jamaica, Horchata, Lima(may not be originary from Mexico but they are really common in its restaurants)
@@popmordiscos Agua de jamiaca and horchata were supposed to be on the video, but I forgot them. There's a number of dishes I wanted to include that just slipped my mind.
Damn, A guy with a French username using a Japanese game to highlight how Americans have misrepresented Mexican food. Mr Worldwide indeed.

@@janLilin it's a hell of a lot funnier when you do understand what she's saying/trying to say. It's awesome.
As someone who was practically raised by bigoted people, unfortunately people like Volkeh are very much real.
They think anyone who doesn't have the same political or cultural beliefs are evil or weird. I've legit heard an in-law of mine say "All Mexicans are stupid" unironically, or old ladys getting upset when I watch Harry Potter because they thought I was watching a tutorial video on how to be a witch.
But they're also cowards because everything they'll rant about is only said behind closed doors or among other racists but as soon as someone calls them out, they either shrivel away or lash out calling you a "spoiled millennial". 🙄
Este video literalmente es de lo mejor que he visto sobre la comida mexicana. Es cierto que casi nadie conoce de la comida mexicana mas allá de los tacos y estoy completamente de acuerdo con todo lo que dices. Diría incluso que tienes el nopal en la cara y que eres mas mexicano que varias personas "con raices". Buen video como siempre hermano. Saludos desde México
Came for Volkeh shenanigans, left educated on Mexican cuisine. Can’t even be surprised anymore. People can really have debates on anything if they’re brave enough. Glad Volkeh got banned at the end. :D
I was kinda sad that Bowl wasn’t there to humiliate him again
What is the name of the other video involving Volkeh, I need to see bowl conversing with that guy.

My fucking god and I actually thought Jschlatt's community was actually cool.
Is this targeted towards Volkeh or Americans for what they have done to Mexican cuisine?
Can testify as someone who's been to Mexico and had the real deal stuff, authenticity with this specific kind of food is *leagues* better than watered-down copying. You haven't had good mole unless you have to speak basic Spanish just to order it.
I went to mexico dc for a week when I was 17. The food was disgusting, as in the very ingredients were nefarious. Its not like i went to one place either; with my family we tried different places during those 5 days and food was either outright bad or it was just meh. Except for the porotos negros con arroz, everything else was leagues below what i expected. Specially the tacos.
Seeing how FC could correctly show good examples of REAL food from Mexico drew a smile on my face... and made me hungry too
@@tobiasosuna5023 I'm Mexican norteño, my family traveled to Mexico City and they also told me that the food was very bad. Not sure why, maybe since there's a lot of people there, they go for quantity over quality, can't tell you the real reason since i didn't go myself, so take what i said with a grain of salt.
my dad makes the fucking best food
@@tobiasosuna5023 Mexico city is trash, its basically a tourist trap. Go anywhere else like Puebla or San Juan Del Rio and order some good handmade tacos
Cleo is based as fuck, holy shit I like her. Not quite Bowl's Bigotry level based, & certainly not *_A S C E N D E D_* like Harry, but a respectable "normal person" based.
Bowl's bigotry is more satirical and not really hostile. It makes me wonder if Bowl is actually a genuine bigot or just kidding around because I just don't have the heart to hate him. Bowl is just too adorable, funny and endearing.

Calling "Pozole" a "Mexican ramen" it's so wrong, but weirdly enough, as a Mexican, it's kinda spot on lol
What does that make menudo?
So, you're saying that you... will allow it?
@@rororapo "Slightly Inferior Mexican Ramen", obviously. we all know Pozole is better than menudo, but they're fundamentally the same thing. only difference is the meats, and, depending on who you ask, the spices

QUE VIVA MÉXICO CARAJO
Damn, Faux is a chef or something? The way he talks so passionately about how food is made is awesome and I loved when he mentioned Cafe De Olla since I like trying new types of coffe.
Oh, I was kinda disappointed with him not mentioning empanadas, tho. It's not really Mexican food since is a dish shared by all Latin America, but each country/region makes it different, for example here in Buenos Aires & Uruguay we make them in the oven with meat or chicken while in Mexico they fry them and are a little more spicy (can't blame them, spicy empanadas are the fucking best)
I mean his French so he must be a chief /J
I've got Puerto Rican stepfamily and the empanadas they made blew my MIND, such an underrated dish fr
@@hedgewitchmalcontent Yeah, empanadas are the best. All the variations it has are awesome
It's sad that Harry couldn't join and show everyone he is a God of cooking
Empanadas are Columbian
16:21 "The same dish with different names and presentation"
To be fair, give a frenchman eggs, flour and milk, and he can probably whip out a couple dozen different dishes with those.
As difficult as it proves to compliment a Frenchie while being Spanish, I gotta say: Well. Done, FC. Your Spanish is great, and you teach some great lessons. Me quito el sombrero ante tí. Gracias por la lección del taco.
I love that on this channel, dedicated to some of the edgiest (and very interesting) possible discussions young nerds can have about a wealth of topics, any time Volkeh turns up it's like 'this man exists but we do not condone it' :D
Also, I assume that they've tried to ban Cleo multiple times for speaking Spanish but the ban button refuses because of how chirpy and good natured she is.

La próxima vez que vengas a México pasa por el sur no vayas a Cancún, busca un lugar llamado mahagual y quedate en un casa rentada, de pasa visita bacalar y la laguna de los 7 colores y prueba el relleno negro si es que no lo has probado, el queso relleno, la cochinita pibil y de postre unas marquesitas con cajeta en los puestos callejeros
Living in Texas closer to the border. I've always known about the existence of actual Mexican food and there's times where I eat it daily. Mexican food is so damn good its unreal. You'd also be surprised as to how good they are with rice as well. Mexican food is a delicacy and they take great pride in it. It's always good.
-Hard shells don't last longer. Every time I've tried to buy them myself, they have been stale. Taco Bell probably runs through theirs extremely quickly, which promotes them being fresh. I've never had soft tortillas go bad.
-Corn tortillas are better and by no means rare in the US. Flour is better for burritos since it's more structurally sound, but corn tastes better and is preferred for tacos or enchiladas where the strength of the tortilla isn't as important.
Maybe this is because I live in a more humid region, but I've noticed mold attacks soft tortillas way earlier than hard shells. Maybe that's what FC meant. Even mold knows true tortillas are far superior.
Isn't it the other way around? Soft tortillas go bad much quicker, thus it promotes making them fresh? Meanwhile hard 'tortillas' last much longer in shape at least, which is why stale hard 'tortillas' are around. Because their longevity counterintuitively actually promotes anti-freshness?
I prefer flour just like from a taste standpoint.

@@antekpatyk9425 I mean, the reason stereotypes exist is because they draw from reality

Fun fact:
Pozole is a prehispanic dish, it was prepared for special occasions and rituals. Though modern pozole uses chicken, pork or beef; the original recipe called for the use of human flesh.
Merci beaucoup, mon ami. We appreciate foreigners recognizing and enjoying our real cuisine. Saludos!
I love how Cleo is randomly saying insults and out of nowhere just saying “JUGO DE NARANJA” like its a excellent way of ending a sentence
Also didn’t knew the thing about tacos gracias por la información 10/10 lo vería otra ves
Cleo es muy divertida hablando un español galimatías.
Cleo is very funny speaking a gibberish Spanish.
as a mexican myself i can confirm that calling whatever taco bell makes “mexican food” is the quickest way to get a mexican to lecture you what an ACTUAL taco is
i can agree with it being called an americanized version of mexican food but that’s about it, it taste different, looks different, and is made different, the tortillas, the kind of meat, the seasoning, and even the toppings aren’t close
Ngl I kinda want to get lectured by an angry Mexican about Mexican food
Also I refuse to call Teco Bell Mexican food, I'd call it a "Mexican style biological weapon" that would kill you if you're not careful.
Honestly, the american Taco i just a Tostada, without frijoles, in form of Taco lmao
Ok but what about if I say Tort ill ah
That can be said about a lot of cultures, even more popular ones like Italy, Pizza is like one of the most popular foods in America but these day i'm doubtful someone can make a real pizza even here in Italy, except where it actually originated, which is roughly in Naples
That's not to say that the other Pizza are not actual pizza, they still have the same traits, and the benefits of merging with other cultures with different ingridients and so on, but when someone intends to go in details and use food as a defining factor of their culture, they have to go in details, they can't just say a basic pizza ordered from Dominos is reminiscent of how it originated
It would be better if the lesser known foods of smaller but historical or cultural cities were shared as they stay true to the culture and people they come from and are very particular and specific, instead of just a pizza which can appeal to anyone if you just choose your own ingridients
Volkeh is the embodiment of a "heated gamer moment"
Kindly refrain from insulting us *_gamers_* like that.
_He didn't even break a keyboard _*_OR_*_ a controller._
*Smh, what a normie ass scrub.*
I didn't expect to see my native language in this and I loved it. I'm still laughing long after the video. And it was plenty educational too.
Even in Spain no one has a grasp about Mexican food at all, we are very different in culture and food. Yet in the eyes of lots of Americans and the media is common for us to be mistakenly interpreted as Mexicans.
Zumito de naranja
I agree, I didn't realize how misunderstood Mexican culture was until I learned English and had more contact with the Gringo side of the world 😔 Mexico and Spain are very different countries. We have a few things in common because of colonization but still... Mexico is heavily influenced by its indigenous heritage, and Spain had a completely different history and influences
De acuerdo, y eso que en España existen mejores restaurantes Mexicanos (más auténticos) que en el resto de Europa
My dad said some people in Spain are racist towards Mexicans.
But I think it's because it's similar to how some British folks see Americans.
Probably still bitter from the whole revolution thing. Who knows
@@haven_lady675 It's not the same. It's not as extended, and it gets to actual hate when it does. It's mostly the far-right the one hating the Mexicans

Almost spat out my drink at Cleo’s sudden interjection of “my aunt/grandma is dead” at like 21:16
I think Cleo's my fave new addition to the crew.
Also, I worked at an ice cream place for a while (I live in Puerto Rico, born and raised) and we made corn ice cream from scratch. We'd usually top it off with cinnamon (clients tend to request it) and it's one of the better selling flavors in the place. It's really not as weird as it sounds.
Nothing beats tamarindo ice cream though... Y U M.
Now you got me intrigued. I'd love to try this tamarindo ice cream if I get the chance.
It's funny how pleasant the conversation becomes as soon as Volkeh leaves and how toxic it gets as soon as he returns.
He made Bowl and Harry look kinder.
@@haven_lady675 nah. Bowl and Harry are just based. Volk is just stupid
@@haven_lady675Because they are lol. Volkeh is just a racist insecure liar that hides his ignorance behind fake politics, religion and proudness. I doubt he is actually right-wing, Christian (See Condescending Christian Vs. Pretentious Atheist) and patriot. Any normal person independetly of their characteristics would be disgusted by Volkeh's behaviour. Bowl, on the other hand, make somewhat clear that he's just trolling and even when going full troll mode he has a solid limit. Harry just has lots of unpopular opinions, but he isn't seen harassing people at all. "The toxigma male guide" series is probably a sarcastic take on Volkeh's mentality.

Extrañaba a Gringo, fácilmente uno de mis personajes favoritos, y no ha tenido mucha oportunidad de aparecer en un rol principal en algún arco últimamente.
FC y Cleophoebs son tan buenos como siempre, y la aparición repentina y breve de Bowl fue una sorpresa, pero una bienvenida.
El regreso de Volkeh como un villano, aunque breve y con un rol pequeño esta vez comparado con su arco de introducción presenta muchas oportunidades para escenas interesantes, mi favorita fue su dinámica de personaje con Gringo, y algo que no sabía que necesitaba hasta ahora, tras esto los veo como dos personalidades diametralmentre opuestas, y fue interesante ver cómo sus ideologías chocan.
Supongo que no veremos más de Heromanxx, pero dio lugar a buenos giros, como la revelación de que era estadounidense.
Sheriff Ballz es un personaje que me intriga mucho, me pregunto si profundizaremos más sobre él, en este arco fue esencial para mover la trama hacia adelante, no tengo mucho que decir de Matti Matti o de Ra-Ra-Rasputin.
Algunos criticaran la exclusión de sus personajes favoritos, como Harry, Goblin Tyrant, Em o Seraphina, pero yo creo que es bueno que no estén en todos los arcos, hace que sus momentos en los arcos en los que sí están sean más impactantes.
Overall I give this arc a 9/10, it has a little something for everyone.
Please make these for every FBI video and let's pray they get pinned.
This Is unironically a great literary review, and that makes me love It even more

When I go to the US and tell people that Taco Bell tacos (or any other American restaurant that serves "Mexican" food) aren't real tacos they always get surprised by it. It's incredible how the US media has portrayed what Mexican food looks like in their image, so much so, that when Americans come to Mexico they think WE made imitations of that food, when ours is the original. Overall great video, I appreciate that FC really did his research, specially with the corn types, that's stuff you normally don't know unless you investigate a little deep within Mexican gastronomy. Great video, big fan of yours!
Happens to Italian food as well. Go tell an USA inhabitant (NOT American, because America IS THE WHOLE CONTINENT and NOT merely the USA) that NO Italian has ever invented spaghetti with meatballs and they won't believe you even if you're an Italian.
Be it ever so clear, I do not dislike meatballs spaghetti even though the concept is not quite in sync with me (usually, in Italy, the sauce that is made with meatballs is used as a condiment for short kind of pasta, like rigatoni or penne), but it was invented over yonder. An Italian-inspired thing that is good, but no part of the culinary tradition of no part of Italy. Some here have started cooking it, yes, but only AFTER someone form USA brought the idea here, as an American-Italian exotic thing.
Man, my aunt tried making "authentic" Mexican cuisine once or twice¹, and the enchiladas and chimichangas turned out alright, the tacos were terribly dry and bland. So for the longest time, I thought authentic Mexican food just kinda sucked. Thankfully, it was just my aunt's cooking. I still prefer American tacos, mostly because that's what I'm used to, but the truly authentic stuff is fucking AMAZING.
¹My family is mostly Czech-Polish and Scott-Irish, but we've got ancestors from [and fourth+ cousins in] France, Bulgaria, Amsterdam, and Norway. The only things we AREN'T are British, German and Spanish. So we're European mutts living in America, and my aunt tried to make authentic Mexican cuisine out of an American-published cookbook. It's really no wonder it turned out so badly.
Tacos are inferior to burritos!
@@MysticalArcane Personal tastes and preferences should NEVER be debate material.
I'm more surprised that people are surprised by it, like homeboy I thought Taco Bell being a severely Americanized version of Mexican food was common knowledge?
Hey, I know you'll probably won't see this in the sea of comments, but thanks so much on explaining Mexican food so well.
It means so much to me because when you mentioned the different kinds of tortillas and meats that we use, it honestly got me pretty emotional. Flour and corn tortillas, tacos de lengua, pozole, Like, no one ever talks about that and I honestly am happy to see someone like you care so much. I really hope you get more subs and attention, because you definitely have the potential to leave such an impact to people like me or just make some funny ass videos!
Also shame on you for not mentioning the best Mexican drink Jarritos, which is a soft drink that translates to little jug, and comes in flavors like pineapple, lime, fruit punch, mango and orange!
As an American of Mexican descent who grew up in a town that is extremely Mexican (~70%) it baffles me how little people know about Mexican food, we have a Taco Bell in our town but it’s barely hanging on because no one actually goes there unless it’s for the drinks. This video did help me realize I knew a lot more than I thought, since growing up in the States kinda makes you feel like you don’t get a clear grasp on what is “Mexican food”
I wonder how many people read "mole" as the rodent rather than as "mo-lay" jajaja
I'm not mexican, myself, my (step)mom married my dad when I was almost 11. We've enjoyed her cuisine ever since. Over the years she's greatly expanded her cooking skills to include a number of dishes from around the globe. My mom is awesome.
Anyway what I wanted to say is that I am not a fan of mole poblano. Bitter is just not a taste my palette is accustomed to. It's not bad with pollo, though. I just enjoy a much lighter coating than is served.
It's fine, I'm Mexican myself, and while I do enjoy mole poblano, it is definitely not my favorite dish. I'm glad your stepmother introduced you to our cuisine and that you have enjoyed it.
Just a tiny correction, though. The correct pronunciation would be "mol-eh", rather than "mo-lay".
@@0zerios0 I just wanted to caution people away from pronouncing it like the rodent haha. Otherwise yeah I probably americanized my pronunciation tip.
I pronounce it exactly like the name Molly but that’s bc I speak Portuguese
I'm not even lying I'm in the middle of the U.S. and I heard some older people calling a jalapeno a "Juh Lah Puh No" Literally every syllable had something wrong if not egregious 😂
But most people know that double LL is a y, and that "ole" words are pronounced Ol Lay
Now, as someone raised in New Mexico, I might not have a lot of authentic experience with proper Mexican food, but I still feel irritated when someone unironically pronounced Tortilla "Tor-till-ah", like in tilling the land.
Which is also why I kinda get why FC kinda got on Heromanxx's case. Like, I'm fine with people like him refer to himself as "Mexican-American" as he seems to have at least some connection to Mexico through his immediate family, but if he refers to himself *as* Mexican straight-up, then its kinda insulting to Mexicans when he talks like an American speaking Spanish. But I would have been more wary of FC acting pretentious if it wasn't for the entire rest of the video showing that he knows what he's talking about when it comes to Mexican food even if he lives on the other side of the Atlantic.
Im glad you didn't translate any of Cleo's dialogue to English. It made it a lot funnier
It honestly would have made less sense if they were saying these things in English.

@@AubreyChase7 Or is it?
Imagine typing "redpilled" unironically.
As a person who was raised in the US by a highly mexican cultural family, they engraved lots of different foods of the culture into me. I can actually attest that Southern Mexico is highly underrepresented due to lots of different things. Many people imagine Mexico as desert-like, due to stereotypes. Only most places in the Northern region of Mexico are like that. The Southern part of Mexico is almost like the Amazon Rainforest. There is lots of cuisine, such as empanadas de iguana/pejelagarto, gorditas, atole de maiz tierno, y tamales. Also flan is pretty good, I think it's originally spanish tho.

I guess this answers the question of "What American Food Is", American food is modifying imported dishes from other countries to fit a more broad audience. I fucking LOVE a home made American Taco (On flat bread, I didn't know that anyone actually used the crunchy shit as anything more than a texturing device) but that's just because I love Ground Beef, Flat Bread and Cheese.
It's INCREDIBLY simplistic, quick to make and easily replicated making it the perfect American dish. I think it's not just because of Fast Food that it's popular in the US but also because of how large the country is, anything that wants to get passed around as a common recipe needs to be made from easily obtained components and has to be quick enough to prepare that your average low-tolerance, narrow minded Joe can make and enjoy it on their own without learning anything about the craft of cooking outside of "Fire make meat gud".
Think about that scene from King of the Hill where Bobby's cooking burgers and Hank tells him what to do if someone asks for their burger made a certain way, it's either Well Done or Not Done At All.
Edit: Also Volkeh is an icon of intellectual debate with his "Send them to the moderator's office and have them expelled" speech, truly he is both Blacksuppositoried and Debased
Have you ever seen those weird foreign brands that sell "American" food that is literally every American stereotype rolled into one? I love looking at those online it is great how just over the top it is.
@@UsingGorillaLogic I'm an English person living in France, and it's absolutely hilarious to see all the pseudo-British and pseudo-American things that they come up with. I once found an "American" thing which was some kind of marshmallow-flavoured spread. It was so fucking sugary that I'm pretty sure I developed diabetes just by looking at it. It was also absolutely disgusting, especially on crêpes.
@@Ceracio I am PROUD that people see my country that way. I embrace the idea that American culture is just a bunch of misfits and goofballs that is my *home* .
That take on what American food is also applies to our culture in general. There was a phrase I once heard that goes "Britains make inventions, Americans make industries." Were really good at taking something someone else made, turning it into the lowest common denominator version of it, and spreading it around for profit. Were opportunistic.
"the crunchy shit" I laughed way harder than needed
Mexico really has great food; it's impressive what they can do sometimes with so little and it's kind of disappointing how many don't even realize that.
I gotta say, despite the people sometimes being lazy and such [I say this from looking at the majority of people and from my experience here], they really put a lot of effort into their food, and not only that, but into their whole culture in general.
Call them lazy all you want, but when it comes to their cultures and traditions, they'll go out of their way to make it look amazing and have incredible food.
20:35
*incompetent in doing anything, not just administrating its own resources, unfortunately
Mexicans are anything BUT lazy. I believe we are the country with more work hours in the world for example.
Mexico could be such a loved and important country worldwide if it had any sense of its self. Amazing tourism, it's incredibly pretty, but it could be so much more. A major exporter of chocolate, so much so that even Hershey's (garbage choco) would have a competitor.
Also, nestle is the scummiest country ever. Should put that in when speaking of Mexican Chocolate
Who tf is calling Mexico lazy? We are one the hardest working countries in the world. Reason why we arent a major superpower like the US, Russia and China is because of one thing and one thing only...
Corruption. The cartels run the country, not the so called "government"
@@hwanniggles187 it's an unfortunate fact that, yes, the country is ridden with corruption
But the majority of people are lazy when it comes to every day stuff
Even simple tasks, to be honest
I'm not saying it because I hate Mexicans, on the contrary, I love them, they're incredible people
But they are lazy, unfortunately
Again, when it comes to their culture and traditions, they do put that laziness aside
All of this is from my years of living here, so it's not like I'm pulling it out of my ass
@@dragonivy7597 It truly would’ve been were it not for governments in recent decades squandering they prosperity that was coming.
For a very long time Mexico was having an economic boom on par with that of countries like Italy and Japan, that really could’ve been used to turn Mexico into an amazing country.
But corruption and incompetency squandered it in the government and so now unfortunately there’s the extremely high rate of crime in some parts of the country with the cartels and everything else, and it’s incredibly sad to watch.
I love how Cleo just casually sows chaos
15:57 fun fact: in Mexico we argue whether those are called "enchiladas" or "tacos rojos"(red tacos) They are called differently depending on the state you live in.
15:59 fun fact number 2: we also call those Swiss enchiladas. weird.
I couldn't understand half of this video because I don't speak Spanish but it was well-produced enough that I could still get the vibe. Good job!
As a Latin American right-winger, I can safely say that Volkeh makes himself and the party he represents look like idiots. Also Cleo's broken (actually not even broken, more like UTTERLY SHATTERED) Spanish just makes my day.
The ‘right wing’ of America is so absurd that it should be classified as a mental disorder. What most countries consider ‘moderate’ would be considered ‘leftist extremism’ by these clowns.
La versión latinoamericana de Volkeh sería el que dice "Yo no paro, yo produzco", "El que es pobre es pobre porque quiere" y "comunistas inmorales" a todo lo que esté ligeramente a la izquierda del laissez-faire.

In the next episode, FC will introduce us to italian food and how americans ruined pizza.
Then, the same with chinese and japanese cuisine.
He already made me feel ashamed of still loving Pineapple and Ham pizza. How much more of my pizza loving dignity can he take?
I refuse to believe Volkeh is real. He’s clearly something you’ve mad up for your videos, I refuse to believe that anybody can be quite that vile.
For the record I’m lying, but I really wish I wasn’t.
I mean the way he talks you’d think he’d get banned REAAAAL quick from most servers like god dam
@@theblackoutexplorer2658 He probably hides his power level until the time is right, then goes full gamer on some unsuspecting Liberal Untermensch before being banned hard. He probably does it on oodles of servers just to burn free time when he’s not cooming or collecting disability for his “special” brain.
He sounds like he plays up certain offensive tendencies because he thinks it’s funny to cause distress
@@theblackoutexplorer2658 I've had a a former "Friend" on discord that pretty much acted like volkeh with the only difference being he's japanese,more of a "American Nationalist" than white nationalist(volkeh),more extreme and likes anime-manga
The funny thing is that Volkeh is not “unique”. The server I met him in was full of clones of him.
As a Mexican, yeah I can say that we are overshadowed by the big striped country above us. You sure know your things Mister FC, someday you should try some more Regional Dishes like the ones on Yucatán, like Marquesitas, Relleno Negro, Salbutes and Panuchos, and my 2 favorites: Frijol con Puerco and Queso Relleno.
P.D: Volk surely went to r/Braincels
I was impressed that he mentioned Ceasar's Salad, that's a dish from Tijuana, where I'm from too hahaha
I'm 1000 Mexican and never heard of those dishes I'm Durango Mexico and totally different food up north I gotta try comida yucateca
I'm not even gonna lie, I enjoy it quite much when FC's french debative side is showing
Like 5 minutes after 'hi' he already lectures people (now powerpoints them, I guess). I know I probably shouldn't but I love when he does that
me and my friend watched this and I used to be in an alt right phase, I look at my friend and say "Jesus Christ did I sound like that?" they responded with "nah you weren't that unhinged yet."
No. He was in the Metaverse video, too. You should check it out if you haven't. It's probably Gringo's best video.

I never thought I would see Volkeh again. Also it looks he was somehow holding back in the dark humor video seeing how hes typing now.
I censored him quite a bit in the Dark Humor video because I didn't want his over-the-top insults to distract the audience from the topic.
@@frenchbaguetteintelligence fair. I’m mostly thinking about how much he needs his vertebrae shuffled, now.
Cleophoebs is slowly but surely becoming my absolute favourite in these videos. light-heartedness and commitment combined
Volkeh is the type of guy to go to Mexico, trash the streets, and then say "There is too many Mexicans 😒🙄😑"
Also Cleo did not speak a word of English the whole time. Respect.
I came in wondering what reason this video could possibly have for being so long but I ended up watching the whole thing without regret. People love to complain about Americans not knowing what a taco is but it's nice to see it finally explained instead of just vaguely ranted about in a pretentious & often bigoted manner.
I'm so glad I'm okay at Spanish or else a lot of these jokes would've gone over my head.
Well, I definitely missed a lot of the jokes then, since I don't speak the language. Mind translating the ones you find hilarious?
Same
Same
To be fair, most of the funniest parts were Cleophoebs saying random bullshit in Spanish (which was hilarious by the way) but you could understand it as two or three people having a heated argument and then someone randomly shouting "LEEEEEEEEROY JEEEEEENKINS". The highlights for me were "NICARAGUA!" and "JUGO DE NARANJA!. They literally mean "Nicaragua" and "Orange juice".

I’m mexican and I most admit that I was truly impressed of the knowledge that you have of our food, mate! I’ve seen a lot of your videos and I don’t mean that I wasn’t expecting that, but the way that you defend our culture and explain it to a lot of people on internet that’ll probably learn thanks to you, is magnificent and helps a lot!

Using the ridiculous, over the top Luke Atmey for Volkeh is a genius move.
Could we translate more of when you swap languages? It's entertaining, but sometimes as an audience member it can be hard to follow or understand some jokes/phrases especially for those of us who aren't bilingual. Otherwise this is another banger.
i agree, but as this is supposed to be a natural conversation i like the concept that it leaves those in the know with more information. though as far as i’m aware, whenever fc speaks french it’s not typically unrelated to what he’s already said.
basically what i’m saying is, i don’t think not understanding what’s being said is necessarily detracting from the conversation as most of the time what they say is banter or something in jest. i definitely agree with translating it when said conversation is integral to the overall narrative of the conversation though. as someone who has some relative experience with the spanish language though, this it makes me pretty happy that i’m able to kind of follow along with what’s being said and i definitely would say that having multilingual abilities (to any degree, as i personally would not consider myself close to fluent in spanish) makes the conversations more amusing as it retains the direct sense of the cultural clash that is FBI’s videos.
i mean, even in this video there’s plenty of representation: Spanish, French, Mexican, American, Latinoamerican, etc. keeping the languages in with minimal translation, imo, keeps the conversation feeling like it is genuinely between people from different backgrounds without dumbing it down for us poor lowly english speakers.
I am bilingual (French + English) and even then, I had a hard time understanding anything without pausing the video every 10 seconds.
I think FC translated what was truly important for the flow of the conversation (when he lectured that guy who was pretending to be Mexican). What he said in French was: "You speak Spanish like a French cow, you species of uncultured CERCOPITHECUS (Cercopithecus is a genus of apes)."
Phoebe's sentences in Spanish don't matter much, they were either random stuff or insults at Volkeh. However, if you speak Spanish, they were fucking hilarious, especially the second JUGO DE NARANJA (Orange Juice).
Matti Matti didn't contribute much either, most of what he said in Spanish was him laughing at Cleophoeb's random Spanish and in the end he said "Fuck this, if they're not banning him, I'm out".
I could not understand Cleophoeb's Greek sentence, but then again it's probably irrelevant.
@@kernium
i get that. then again, i suppose that’s one of the major disadvantages of this being a visual presentation rather than auditory.
@@brink7894 it just kinda sucks being left out of a joke because of a language barrier.
Bravo Mr Baguette on the Mexican food lesson. As someone living on the border and often frequenting traditional Mexican vendors this is highly accurate and I'm glad you are spreading the good word of true Mexican food.
As an actual Mexican
I am surprised by the level of culture that you handle about Mexican gastronomy.
you have good taste in tacos by the way
I'll admit I came here to simultaneously enjoy the arguments and laugh at the roasts, but I have to say:
The past couple of videos have had me walk away with a lot more info on culture and the like than I expected to- I always wondered why every picture I've seen of authentic Mexican food had oddly-colored corn in it. Didn't know it was native.
When Volkeh said white Mexican to Matti Matti, my very few brain cells have all went into a coma
The moment I lost it was when after all his buildup rant about e-girls (supposedly golddigging for Discord Nitro, mind you) he begins to spam "TRUMP2024".
It is so unexpected, and yet makes perfect sense: the very essence of comedy.
@@TheUrizen his entire existence is the essence of comedy
Cleo's Spanish is a blessing
As a Hispanic, this video is gonna be a trip for me
I must say that your English is rather on point. It is better than many native speakers in the US and probably my own. I only know enough Spanish to ask where the bathroom is and how much something is worth as well as a decent amount of ASL. Your Spanish also looks well done. I am impressed with your linguistics!
Love how your debates are both incredibly entertaining and incredibly educational!
Man you weren't lieing with that warning in the beginning. Volkeh must be fun at parties (if he's ever invited to one haha)
Dan from Killer7 pfp? Good taste.
Some say beach episodes are the best "fan service"
But there's no better fan service than watching Volkeh getting banned, and I say that as a mexican myself
Even though I'm the textbook definition of a gringo, my grandparents knew their shit with Mexican food and I grew up eating some good authentic Mexican food, and it's sad how much worse Americanized Mexican food is compared to the real deal. American tacos are absolutely disgusting compared to real ones, and moving out of California makes me miss good Mexican food, as finding good Mexican places where I live now is hard.(If the waiter barely speaks English and the food is served on a styrofoam plate, then you know it's good)
it was so cool seeing the conversation become friendly again and also seeing people get very interested thanks to fcs little presentation on mexican food but then volkeh came back and started plotting setting moscow ablaze
Esto realmente me hizo el dia. Como mexicano, si me decepciona que otros no vean más de la comida mexicana que no sean simplemente tacos, y ni siquiera sean tacos del todo. Obviamente no todos son así, solo que si existe gente tan terca. xD
Esto si que le hace justicia a la comida mexicana, asi como a la cultura de mi bello país, además de que si me hizo soltar unas buenas carcajadas. ¡Buen video! :D/
