Changed to "Hot Mex" after backlash from Dubya made Texas unpopular?

Is it?
Sorry, I already cut it down on Irfanview - it fits my screen here but I didn't want to go smaller because the writing is so small.

Sorry, it must be the PC I'm on.

But, yeah, "Hot Mex" ...WTF is that?

I was in Sainsbury's today - one of the good (big) supermarket chains.
Their Tex Mex Combo Pack is as follows:

Quote:

American style.

Lightly spiced potato wedges, battered onion rings and crispy coated mushrooms with a garlic & herb dip.

Vegetarian.

I am intrigued by the vegetarian state of Tex-Mexia now. Previously I thought chicken was a staple part of the diet. Perhaps it is a religion rather than a geographical place, with different schools of thought.

What they're calling "Tex Mex" are really just typical American side-dishes/appetizers. But they've got them all jumbled up into what I would expect to see listed as a "sampler platter" or some such. "Hot Mex" is even more confusing. As a Texan I find this rather intriguing.

I'd love to see moar menus SG.

Sundae · 07-08-2008, 05:45 AM

Now this is a proper takeaway menu!
Split into 2 to make it easier to read

I had the £8.95 deal on Sunday and it was soooooooo good.
Starter, main, rice, naan, side, 2 poppadums & dip
The portions are smaller than if you order separately, but you get more variety with a meal deal

We are seeing a lot of Indian restaurants, but don't really have Indian takeaway in the US which is a terrible shame. Sag Paneer and Aloo Gobi and Chicken Tikka Massala are staples at the local lunch buffet. It's kickass.

Dot, not feather.

Clodfobble · 07-08-2008, 10:45 AM

Oh, man. It has been so long since I had a proper Indian buffet. I am seriously craving some chicken curry right now.

Sundae · 07-12-2008, 02:11 PM

My meal today.
Om nom nom nom.
I am soooooooo bloated.

Starter. Shami kebab and Chicken Tikka with side salad
Main. Plain Naan, Pilau Rice and left to right Chicken Tikka Massala, Chicken Bhuna, Lamb Curry

Sundae · 07-12-2008, 02:12 PM

Side - Poppadums and Mint Raita
I'd like to point out this is a set meal. I'd have had less, but you pay more because they don't do the half portions, except on the meal deals.

We have Tiffin in Philly, which for now only delivers in and around Center City. They are expanding though--it's very very good stuff.
