also, if you would like an easy base for your own Queso/Cheese Dip, here is a good one. there are no spices, so you will have to use your own. you may make it as spicy, or as hot (there is a difference between spicy and hot) as you like. by weight, equal parts of cheese, heavy cream (aka "whipping cream") and Cream Cheese (or Neufchatel cheese). in a heavy pot, warm the cream over a low heat. when you see a bit of steam begin to rise, add in the cubed Cream/Neufchatel cheese in small amounts. from now on, you stir almost constantly because if you don't, it could burn and be lost! then, when the Cream Cheese has just about finished melting into the cream, begin adding the grated cheese (i like super sharp cheddar) in small amounts, stirring the whole time, until all of the cheese is melted into the mix and smooth. take it off the heat and begin adding whatever you like to season it. the amounts of cream, cream cheese, and cheese i typically use are about 450g/ml each. it makes a large batch that will keep well if covered and in the fridge.
It's salt on the rim of a marguerite glass and the runny white sauce is warmed melty (queso) cheese. The nice thing about mexican salsas is that you can mix salsas (sauces) to suit your liking. The main difference between Tex-Mex and authentic Mexican One of the major differences is that Tex-Mex tends to use beef, which is readily available in Texas, whereas authentic Mexican uses pork. Tex-Mex may also use other ingredients not typically found in Mexican dishes, such as: Yellow cheese. Wheat flour.
I am almost positive you could find a wonderful American sponsor that would help you with lodging and trying some unique foods. I know trusting folks can be off putting, but we have some great people here. I would love to see you be able to visit us here in the states. Many blessings 😊
Queso (KEH-so) is the spanish word for "cheese". it is typically cheese (or cheese and cream) heated until it begins to melt, then spices, herbs, and other seasonings are added to it. some of these additions are, or can be : diced tomatoes cumin (comino) cilantro dried or fresh peppers garlic onions roasted fresh peppers it's really a matter of letting your imagination, ingredients, and experience guide you to create a wonderfully creamy, flavorful, spicy and/or hot product that can be used as a dip for various food items, or as a topping/condiment.
My son in law just got home today from a year long stent in Korea for our military. We went out to celebrate and the thing he missed the most was Tex-Mex ! Head’s up , Jolly are not the only people who come to Texas or the US in general that get their socks blown off by our food. Come on over and getcha some 👍🏼🇺🇸🤘🏼❤️
Professional wrestlers are also actors, basically. The Tombstone Piledriver is cushioned by the user's knees going down first Mole(the e is pronounced as an a) is a spiced chocolate sauce used in Tex Mex cooking. Very dark chocolate is used(unsweetened)
When I get down on my country, which I do frequently, I watch videos like this to remind myself that we have the best food in the world. Hands down. All the influences, all the flavors. We are so lucky. ❤
Mole is made with unsweetened chocolate and several varieties of chilies and other spices, usually thickened with ground almonds or pepitas (pumpkin seeds). It has a bit of a smoky taste (some of the chilies are smoked). You can taste the chocolate, but when it's combined with savory (not sweet) ingredients, it tastes completely different. You usually simmer meat in it - chicken thighs are very popular - and it's traditionally served over rice.
You guys are always welcome to come and visit; My wife and I have a whole upstairs, and we could take y’all up to Sedona, Grand Canyon, and the shooting range.
A siesta is def. needed after Tex-Mex. But it is pure bliss during the meal. LOL That last green sauce BTW. It is Jalapeno peppers, garlic, and oil, pureed in the blender. Very light taste with a massive kick to it. LOL I drench my breakfast burrito with it every morning, love it!
It can be ya, in that vid they had two types of green sauce , one was roasted tomatillo salsa which is the most common served, the other looked like the Green Sauce popular in the Houston area the Ninfa green sauce , which has jalapeno, tomatillo, cilantro, avocado, garlic, and sour cream. both are great.
The good thing about spicy food is that you can build a tolerance to heat. It takes a while with continuous exposure, but you will get more used to it, just go slowly.
Peach Margaritas are made with sugar on the rim too. Frozen Margaritas are the best. They can give you brain freeze though but a bite of Nachos or Taco chases it away. I can wait to see y'all try Tex- Mex cuisine yourselves someday.
Salt on the rim of a margarita. It sort of recreates taking a shot of tequila in the US. You put salt on the back of your hand, lick it off, do the shot suck on a lime wedge. It is all part of what goes in a margarita.
Heat and spice tolerance can be improved over time. You can slowly step up from what you are comfortable with. Two or three times a week have a few chips and salsa. After a couple weeks move to salsa that is a little hotter. It's like acclimating to the weather of a given area.
Next to watching you tube jolly is another fav. And I love watching react video and competitive food eaters also but I usually check for things you and carol or jolly post first. Y’all and jolly are joy to watch makes my heart happy.
If you live in the USA and are in a town that borders Mexico you are lucky for the food that influences you. I personally am not a Tex Mex girl but more Baja California via San Diego, CA girl. Much of the same influences from Mexico but not so much Texas chili. We brought in the fish tacos from Baja, Mexico to our area along with the best Birria that can be found. Best thing is you will find the most fantastic food to be found in a hole in the wall kind of restaurant or one of my personal favs is on a food truck.
BTW, you totally have me at the word "Mole", and specifically, Oaxacan Mole. Truly one of the best sauces in the world... personally speaking of course. It's a pain in the booty to make but the rewards are worth it.
Margaritas have salt on the rim. Often times, variations like strawberry margaritas will have flavored sugar on the rim. There are several different types of moles, which come in different colors, but not all of them have chocolate in it. The darker varieties do melt Mexican chocolate into the mole, which can take a day or two to cook. The dark kind they're eating is a very rich, complex mole. Some moles are based on certain chilis, many have nuts, some use golden raisins so they have a kind of syrupy sweetness and very little spice. In the city of Oaxaca (pronounced a bit like wuh-HA-ka) alone, they are famous for seven kinds of mole. You can find restaurants that serve a plate with a little bit of all seven moles.
Another great video from Recky and Carol! You have me starving now and I had mexican for dinner last night. We have a restaurant in northern Wyoming that is absolutely amazing. She is an artist with her cooking. Thank you for sharing...even if you did make me hungry!
Carol ~ making guacamole is one of the quickest things to throw together. If you have access to avocados, salt & lime or lemon you have the basics for a good guacamole. Just mash the avocados with a fork till it's chunky, creamy or somewhere in between which is my favorite. Add some salt and a bit of squeezed lime/lemon to your taste and you have guacamole. Less than five minutes of your time and it's delicious! Or, you can take the flavor to another level by adding a combination of uncooked small diced tomatoes (skin on), onion, fresh cilantro leaves (coriander leaves, sometimes found in bottles in the spice section) or chinese parsley and diced jalapeno pepper. The peppers can be omitted if heat is not your thing. These ingredients make up what is called salsa fresca, pico de gallo or salsa cruda. It's delicious. You can also put this combo of ingredients in your blender on pulse, just a few quick start and stops and you have just made a great salsa to eat on any Mexican dish. Or, just to eat with tortilla chips, on scrambled eggs, omelets, etc. I live in CA, I have fifty plus years of eating in hundreds of Mexican restaurants, taquerias, at food trucks, food stands, street vendors, etc. across the state and in Mexico. I have never once seen a non-Hispanic owner, chefs, cooks, servers, bartenders or cashiers in any of them, lol. You would also be hard pressed to find a place that offered ground beef in any of their items. I love Mexican food, it's my favorite so I would certainly give Tex-Mex a go but I would have to pass on anything made with ground beef. Final oddity, never once have I seen a glass or mug of milk served in any restaurant either. Not that it's unavailable, I have just never seen anyone order it. I like spicy and extreme spicy! No need for milk. lol.
Traditional margaritas typically have a salt rim as it pairs well and mellows out the tequila and lime. I know its completely up to preference but I often see salt rims for the traditional margaritas and sugar rims for the fruity/flavored margs. I am a huge fan of spicy margaritas myself and love for some chili salt on the rim!!
Those guys are a 'riot'. I watch their channel a lot. Makes me want to go have a taco or two. Thank you for the video. Waiting for the next unboxing with cat butt. lol.
Queso is Spanish for Cheese. It's basically a cheese sauce. Also the mole (pronounced "mo-lay") sauce is actually a chocolate sauce. in Mexico chocolate isn't just used for sweets and desserts. It makes sense since chocolate originally came from Mexico and was brought to Europe via Spanish conquistadors.
@@liamengram6326 Oh, ffs, you know it means thick sauce for meat in common Spanish. The point I was trying to make is that it doesn't literally mean chocolate sauce. I'm not sure where you get "lunar". Google "always right" translate?
Hot as in spicy seems to be more warm climates, the fellow I worked with from Mexico told me spice came to cover rancid from lack of refrigerant options
There's also California Mex, New Mexico Mex, Colorado Mex, etc. All are different. Actual Mexican cuisine from Mexico can be quite different than what Americans call "Mexican" food.
You can tell something is "tex mex" when you see A) any kind of yellow cheese B) hard corns shells like in tostados or nachos or some tacos C) anything that is wheat based like a burrito.
This term, used to describe American Mexican food, was first introduced in Texas. Residents of the state enjoyed their Mexican dishes and began making them at home with food they had access to, such as beef and flour. The Mexican restaurants in Texas started adding more ingredients preferred by Texans to accommodate their tastes, resulting in what we call today “Tex-Mex.” Examples of Tex-Mex food include fajitas, nachos, and any dish that uses beef, black beans, canned vegetables, wheat flour, or yellow cheese. Usually authentic Mexican recipes are spicier, while Tex-Mex food is less spicy.
And then you find out that many of the elements of TexMex come from different regions of Mexico. Where most believe that corn tortillas are the only tortillas in Mexico. Flour tortillas come from Chihuahua, Durango, Sonora, and Sinaloa, which explains the majority of TexMex because they're the closest to the border.
You can get salt or sugar or tahine on the rim of your margarita glass. Qeuso is a savory, creamy cheese sauce. I think there is more than one kind of cheese in there, and some other ingredients. Once you taste it, you can't get enough!
Depends on the flavor of margarita. Lime gets salt, strawberry, mango, or watermelon get sugar OR salt. I prefer sugar for sweet fruits and salt for sour fruits.
Hey Recky! Sorry i am late to give a comment. July 7th was my birthday! I hope some day you and Carol will come to Texas for real Tex-Mex restaurant food like this. Recky, one thing to keep in mind is that many items can be on the spicy side but you can say you want mild or not spicy but Tex-Mex dishes can be not spicy or mild tasting but they have STRONG BOLD FLAVORS that may be new experience to the mild Swedish taste but I know Carol will love the spicy things! Good news Recky, Tex-Mex does not have any hazelnuts in it! Tex-Mex is amazing. It will make you feel like fireworks in your mouth with bold flavors not always spicy. I must say i do love a good buffet smorgasboard (spelling?)
It's salt. If there is an alcohol that will make you crazy in a fun way, it's Tequila. You take the crackers and crush them, mix them up in the chili bowl itself.
I have some cousins from Alaska that moved to Texas! Luckily, my Aunt, Uncle and 2 cousins are still in Alaska so they all visit Alaska, Texas and still come see us all here in Utah!
Mole is made with chocolate. Chocolate in it's raw form is not sweet. It is only sweet because you add sugar to it. They use chocolate in a lot of their cooking from Mexico and it is the base of a good mole. Mole uses tomatillos, chicken stock, several types of dried and ground peppers, garlic, a ton of other spices and the chocolate. The ingredients are all toasted, roasted or grilled first to bring out each flavor before blending them together to cook for a very long time. When he said it took 30 different ingredients, that means it is a very good mole!
Mole is an complex Aztec dish from Oaxaca, Mexico. It’s thick and rich and time-consuming to make with over 30 ingredients including dried chilis and chocolate. It’s over likely over 400 years old.
I live an hour and 50 minutes from this place. You guys are making me feel very, very lucky to live where I live. Realize, though, that I would also love to visit Sweden! I love your food. Well, at least what I’ve tasted at IKEA. Great video, guys!
Margarita can be any way, but traditional marg is with salted rum. There are flavored margs, like mango, prickly pear, and you can have salt or sugar rim. And floaters ..
Queso is a Mexican cheese dip. You received a glass jar of it in one of your boxes. We usually make it out of a yellow type of cheese, but Mexican cheese is white and has a very fresh cheesy taste.
I’m sure if I went to Sweden I could go to a generic Swedish chain restaurant and still be amazed by something y’all would see as so ordinary because it’s a new experience for me.
Ahhh, you were speaking my language with the venison. I can step out onto my back porch and take a deer for dinner if I so choose. (and it's whitetail season)
Really enjoyed your reaction to this video!!! I live 5 minutes from this Eldorado Cafe in Austin and it's one of my favorite restaurants!! That mole sauce with the chocolate flavoring and all the spices is truly amazing. The mole enchiladas are my favorite dish there. Mole is not easy to make and takes awhile to prepare, but Eldorado does it great!! That yellow hot sauce at the end, the "scorpion", is extremely spicy. I grew up in Texas and it's still too spicy for me. Anyway, enjoyed your reaction and truly hope you can come to Texas sometime! Just don't come from June through September, it's way too hot!!
Oh..Eldorado Cafe is one of my wife and mine favorites here in Austin which is saying something as we have tons of great Tex-Mex places here in the city. The queso is amazing there too. Yeah..the donuts are a must there too. We forgot one time..and a mistake we have never repeated. Also..Abuelita means "Grandmother" or "Granny".
I grew up in Southern California where there's a lot of TexMex restaurants. I always thought of it as Mexican food with some Texas influence. You should watch Jolly try southern fried chicken for the first time.
Mole, is mainly the three ingredients, pepper, chocolate, and chicken. Goodstuff !. Each family has its own recapie. I prefer the ones that also have Peanut butter. Just a Texan commenting.
when my little one went off to university, she had no problem sitting down and vacuuming up a big, greasy, dripping, chili cheeseburger and then finishing the meal with a burping contest along with the boys while the other girls were quietly nibbling at their salads. it's no wonder the boys liked my daughter more than the other girls.
Eeeew ! What a weird comment to make😂😂😂😂”my daughter didn’t have manners like the other girls who were raised right. No wonder all the boys chose her over other women with class” you sound absolutely ridiculous.
Avocados - Mexico’s largest export ! Freshly made (warm) tortilla chips are outstanding. Thank the Aztecs for Mole, and 32 ingredients. The seafood items in TexMex foods are quite good.
Not many Mexican or TexMex restaurants do it, but a long time ago, I had gone to a Mexican restaurant, and the queso sauce came with refried beans in it. So you would dip your chip in it and have queso/refried beans as an appetizer. It was such a good combination. Sometimes, I remember to recreate it while at a Mexican restaurant, lol.
two cups of milk. 3 egg yolks no whites quarter cup of sugar mix yolks with sugar till they turn white. Then add to milk and boil while stirring constantly. You can vanilla 1/4 teaspoon or top with cinnamon. My favorite drink while growing up.
Queso is melted cheese. If I remember correctly, a lo tut of times it's an Asadero Cheese. Guacamole, in most places, is just mashed avocado. We add pico de gallo and homemade salsa to ours. Tex-Mex is combination of both Texas (American) and Mexican style cooking. Mole is a combination of spices, chilies, and Abuelita (Mexican Hot Chocolate). Where I live here in West TX, I have friends and co-workers that make a lot of Tex-Mex. A real popular thing people at my work like to make is Asado. It's usually beef chunks cooked in a spicy sauce. I like it on white rice. Trust me, it will fill you up and you will regret it on the toilet later too. LOL!!!
@@Big_Tex I don't really eat the kolaches out here since they are so doughy. Plus I always think it's so funny how they call "Pigs in a Blanket" kolaches out here when real kolaches are actually like a dessert filled with jam or cream cheese. Those ones I believe are a Polish version that I'm talking about and they have them in the Hill Country area of TX. Growing up on the East Coast, I grew up eating more sausage, egg, and cheese biscuits than anything. Loved the ones from Hardee's.
Maybe consider visiting Austin, Texas when you visit the States. You can try this Tex-Mex restaurant along with the other BBQ restaurant with the dino sized rib.

do you think it would be accurate to say that Sweden is sometimes more _"conservative with it's flavors"?_

by weight, equal parts of cheese, heavy cream (aka "whipping cream") and Cream Cheese (or Neufchatel cheese).
in a heavy pot, warm the cream over a low heat. when you see a bit of steam begin to rise, add in the cubed Cream/Neufchatel cheese in small amounts. from now on, you stir almost constantly because if you don't, it could burn and be lost!
then, when the Cream Cheese has just about finished melting into the cream, begin adding the grated cheese (i like super sharp cheddar) in small amounts, stirring the whole time, until all of the cheese is melted into the mix and smooth.
take it off the heat and begin adding whatever you like to season it.
the amounts of cream, cream cheese, and cheese i typically use are about 450g/ml each. it makes a large batch that will keep well if covered and in the fridge.

Mole(the e is pronounced as an a) is a spiced chocolate sauce used in Tex Mex cooking. Very dark chocolate is used(unsweetened)
I had two Swedish exchange students who lived w/ our family in California when I was a kid (from Gothenburg).
Everyone, I lived in El Paso, Texas in the 70's. Queso is like your cheese Fondu instead of dipping bread you use nachos.
When I get down on my country, which I do frequently, I watch videos like this to remind myself that we have the best food in the world. Hands down. All the influences, all the flavors. We are so lucky. ❤

You usually simmer meat in it - chicken thighs are very popular - and it's traditionally served over rice.
Yum! 😋
I had a recipe for chocolate brownies that used a little mole to give them a kick. You don't use much because it can overpower.
We get the super tasty mole and then there’s the sopa de aros wich is so damn tasty on its own but combine the two and it’s heaven
Told u guys u need to move here for all these amazing foods
My favorite thing from Sweden: anything Swedish Match…especially General Snus. 😂❤😊

The queso is runny or liquid-like because it’s hot. Not necessarily spicy hot, but temperature hot.
I also don't mind the silly kitties in the background. I love them.
Love the cats in the back 😄
Josh and Ollie are awesome, I have followed them for a long time on Jolly and Korean Englishmen.
Tricky thing is: the green is usually hotter than the red. And bread and/or milk is the best calm down for a mouth on fire. 😅❤

It's refried beans on the nachos. Which usually made with pinto beans and sometimes it's black beans.
JOSH could pass as the actor “Jim Carrey’s” son! 😊
Heat and spice tolerance can be improved over time. You can slowly step up from what you are comfortable with. Two or three times a week have a few chips and salsa. After a couple weeks move to salsa that is a little hotter. It's like acclimating to the weather of a given area.
I suggest watching on UA-cam about oaxacan mole. See how it’s made and all of the work, and love that is put into making this special dish.
Next to watching you tube jolly is another fav. And I love watching react video and competitive food eaters also but I usually check for things you and carol or jolly post first. Y’all and jolly are joy to watch makes my heart happy.

Depends on the flavor of margarita. Lime gets salt, strawberry, mango, or watermelon get sugar OR salt. I prefer sugar for sweet fruits and salt for sour fruits.
Hey Recky! Sorry i am late to give a comment. July 7th was my birthday! I hope some day you and Carol will come to Texas for real Tex-Mex restaurant food like this. Recky, one thing to keep in mind is that many items can be on the spicy side but you can say you want mild or not spicy but Tex-Mex dishes can be not spicy or mild tasting but they have STRONG BOLD FLAVORS that may be new experience to the mild Swedish taste but I know Carol will love the spicy things! Good news Recky, Tex-Mex does not have any hazelnuts in it! Tex-Mex is amazing. It will make you feel like fireworks in your mouth with bold flavors not always spicy. I must say i do love a good buffet smorgasboard (spelling?)
Correct spelling! And Yaaay I won’t die eating texmex! lol
I love Josh and Ollie, been watching them a long time. I also love that you chose their videos to react to.
Recky and Carol. You should react to American state foods! And maybe try to make some of them.
How fun would that be!
That’s the plan!
Awwh, I wish I could mail you some Tex mex.
Mole is a savory chocolate sauce basically.
It's salt. If there is an alcohol that will make you crazy in a fun way, it's Tequila. You take the crackers and crush them, mix them up in the chili bowl itself.
carol looks so exasperated 🌮
I’m a native Texan living in Alaska now. They really try in the “Mexican” restaurants here but unfortunately it’s just not the same.
I have some cousins from Alaska that moved to Texas! Luckily, my Aunt, Uncle and 2 cousins are still in Alaska so they all visit Alaska, Texas and still come see us all here in Utah!
Mole is made with chocolate. Chocolate in it's raw form is not sweet. It is only sweet because you add sugar to it. They use chocolate in a lot of their cooking from Mexico and it is the base of a good mole. Mole uses tomatillos, chicken stock, several types of dried and ground peppers, garlic, a ton of other spices and the chocolate. The ingredients are all toasted, roasted or grilled first to bring out each flavor before blending them together to cook for a very long time. When he said it took 30 different ingredients, that means it is a very good mole!
Queso is basically liquid cheese.
Loaded nachos.....nacho chip, refried beans, taco meat, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, nacho cheese sauce, slice avocado. Then you can add sour cream, guacamole, salsas, black olives, etc.
If the food don't get on u then u know it's not good but if it gets on you then u know it's awesome
Hello from Corpus Christi, Texas 💪💪
Mole is an complex Aztec dish from Oaxaca, Mexico. It’s thick and rich and time-consuming to make with over 30 ingredients including dried chilis and chocolate. It’s over likely over 400 years old.
Not a dessert sauce. Mole has chocolate like BBQ sauce has brown sugar or molasses, just much better done & vastly superior if pulled off well.
The regular margharita is salt, a strawberry margharita is sugar lining the glass rim.
I live an hour and 50 minutes from this place. You guys are making me feel very, very lucky to live where I live. Realize, though, that I would also love to visit Sweden! I love your food. Well, at least what I’ve tasted at IKEA. Great video, guys!
Margarita can be any way, but traditional marg is with salted rum. There are flavored margs, like mango, prickly pear, and you can have salt or sugar rim. And floaters ..
Queso is a Mexican cheese dip. You received a glass jar of it in one of your boxes. We usually make it out of a yellow type of cheese, but Mexican cheese is white and has a very fresh cheesy taste.
Hi Recky and Carol. Thanks for starting the weekend with another visit. Always make my day. My cat watched with me. Hope you have a wonderful day.
There are many Texas types of food here like TEXAS BBQ, TEX-MEX and typical Texas dishes like chicken fried steak, praline pecans and pecan pie.
As an American living in Texas, I do feel pride in our foods. I did not know how lucky we are since this food & culture is all I have ever known.
Please check when these Jolly guys go to the biggest gas station in America.❤️🇫🇮
I’m sure if I went to Sweden I could go to a generic Swedish chain restaurant and still be amazed by something y’all would see as so ordinary because it’s a new experience for me.
Exactly!
The rest of the JOLLY TEXAS videos are fun too.
Ahhh, you were speaking my language with the venison. I can step out onto my back porch and take a deer for dinner if I so choose. (and it's whitetail season)
Love the cat. He wants to steal the show
I am from Texas and I eat Mexican food all the time. That place does look good. Especially that chilli.
lol, the "saltines" with the chili were for you to crumble it up and add to it, not use the chili as a dip
Not just Texas that makes Mexican food
I'm from Texas. Tex Mex is a bit different but connected
Really enjoyed your reaction to this video!!! I live 5 minutes from this Eldorado Cafe in Austin and it's one of my favorite restaurants!! That mole sauce with the chocolate flavoring and all the spices is truly amazing. The mole enchiladas are my favorite dish there. Mole is not easy to make and takes awhile to prepare, but Eldorado does it great!! That yellow hot sauce at the end, the "scorpion", is extremely spicy. I grew up in Texas and it's still too spicy for me. Anyway, enjoyed your reaction and truly hope you can come to Texas sometime! Just don't come from June through September, it's way too hot!!
You guys will, without a doubt, get to experience this.
Oh..Eldorado Cafe is one of my wife and mine favorites here in Austin which is saying something as we have tons of great Tex-Mex places here in the city. The queso is amazing there too. Yeah..the donuts are a must there too. We forgot one time..and a mistake we have never repeated. Also..Abuelita means "Grandmother" or "Granny".
I grew up in Southern California where there's a lot of TexMex restaurants. I always thought of it as Mexican food with some Texas influence.
You should watch Jolly try southern fried chicken for the first time.
Oh yes!! In savannah Georgia! Truly southern food❤❤
I have a wimpy salsa recipe for you Recky. 1 chop up some tomatoes. 2 Thats it.....😂😂😂
Mole, is mainly the three ingredients, pepper, chocolate, and chicken. Goodstuff !. Each family has its own recapie. I prefer the ones that also have Peanut butter. Just a Texan commenting.
when my little one went off to university, she had no problem sitting down and vacuuming up a big, greasy, dripping, chili cheeseburger and then finishing the meal with a burping contest along with the boys while the other girls were quietly nibbling at their salads. it's no wonder the boys liked my daughter more than the other girls.
Eeeew ! What a weird comment to make😂😂😂😂”my daughter didn’t have manners like the other girls who were raised right. No wonder all the boys chose her over other women with class” you sound absolutely ridiculous.
Josh and Ollie are great! We love them
Avocados - Mexico’s largest export !
Freshly made (warm) tortilla chips are outstanding.
Thank the Aztecs for Mole, and 32 ingredients.
The seafood items in TexMex foods are quite good.
U two just witnessed ur first foodgasm
Not many Mexican or TexMex restaurants do it, but a long time ago, I had gone to a Mexican restaurant, and the queso sauce came with refried beans in it. So you would dip your chip in it and have queso/refried beans as an appetizer. It was such a good combination. Sometimes, I remember to recreate it while at a Mexican restaurant, lol.
Try jolly in la with street taco
two cups of milk. 3 egg yolks no whites quarter cup of sugar mix yolks with sugar till they turn white. Then add to milk and boil while stirring constantly. You can vanilla 1/4 teaspoon or top with cinnamon. My favorite drink while growing up.
Hey Recky and Carol the drink has salt on the rim of the glass!
Queso is melted cheese. If I remember correctly, a lo tut of times it's an Asadero Cheese. Guacamole, in most places, is just mashed avocado. We add pico de gallo and homemade salsa to ours. Tex-Mex is combination of both Texas (American) and Mexican style cooking. Mole is a combination of spices, chilies, and Abuelita (Mexican Hot Chocolate).
Where I live here in West TX, I have friends and co-workers that make a lot of Tex-Mex. A real popular thing people at my work like to make is Asado. It's usually beef chunks cooked in a spicy sauce. I like it on white rice. Trust me, it will fill you up and you will regret it on the toilet later too. LOL!!!
Are you all kolaches all the time or do you get tired of them living in West?
@@Big_Tex I don't really eat the kolaches out here since they are so doughy. Plus I always think it's so funny how they call "Pigs in a Blanket" kolaches out here when real kolaches are actually like a dessert filled with jam or cream cheese. Those ones I believe are a Polish version that I'm talking about and they have them in the Hill Country area of TX.
Growing up on the East Coast, I grew up eating more sausage, egg, and cheese biscuits than anything. Loved the ones from Hardee's.
There are a bunch of Tex-Mex food inventions like the chimichanga or nachos to name a few that you may know of.
Maybe consider visiting Austin, Texas when you visit the States. You can try this Tex-Mex restaurant along with the other BBQ restaurant with the dino sized rib.
New subscriber here! I enjoyed your reaction and I hope y'all get to come to Texas some day!!! Best wishes for your channel!
