Growing up in Salt Lake City, where in the 1970’s & 80’s the only authentic ethnic cuisine widely available was Mexican, (and without question, to my tastes, Salt Lake has some of the best Mexican food I have ever eaten, right alongside places like Southern California, Texas or even Mexico itself) and having lived here in Eastern Europe for going on the past 4 years, you have no idea how incredible a big bowl of warm, crisp tortilla chips and some honest-to-God, spicy, flavorful garden fresh salsa/pico de gallo tastes after going without for a while. I swear, it seems like the entire continent of Europe is unaware of what good, simple, authentic Mexican food actually is, even in huge international cities that are world centers of gastronomy. ---

It is a popular combo in New Orleans. I had never heard of it until a visit this past summer, but it is pretty widespread down there, and it is also mighty fine eatin’. ---

> [@Tim\_R.Mortiss](#): > > In case anyone thinks this is another ketchup-on-banana thing, it isn’t. It is a popular combo in New Orleans. Shrimp & Grits are extremely common all along the Gulf Coast and also up and down the Southeastern seaboard. It is perhaps THE signature dish of costal South Carolina, available in fancy 5 Star fine dining restaurants and tarpaper beachfront seafood shacks alike. Pairs well with cheap, cold beer, aa well as really cheap, cold beer… ---
