Food you make or eat "wrong"

I love ketchup on hot dogs and nutmeg on mashed potatoes. Frozen Kool Whip is good on pie and a few raw potato slices are a great snack.

i'm told i make my enchiladas wrong b/c I use flour instead of corn tortillas.

Hmmm, I never thought about it. But checking a few of the Mexican restaurants near me, their menus all say flour tortillas. Only time I expect a corn wrapping is for tamales.

Really? I have never heard of enchiladas being made with flour.

I didn't check all their menus, but I have 30 Mexican restaurants within 2 miles of my house and the few I checked were flour. Either would be fine with me. And of course many of these claim to be "authentic". Most serve dishes that are spicier than I ever had in Mexico. And potato was in just about every kind of taco, enchilada, burrito I had in Mexico. Our hosts in Mexico warned us to avoid restaurants there that serve spicy food as that is a tip off to locals that they are using the spice to cover up rancid ingredients.

On the border here and in Mexico they use flour ...corn tortillas are an acquired taste and small and are used like a slice of bread or biscuits for scooting food.... I prefer corn over flour when having a choice on street tacos or such.... I am the only one in social circle that eat corn tortillas

I put rutabaga on my leftover turkey sandwiches which I will start feasting on this weekend.

I confused rutabaga with kalirabbi which grows above ground and just as intolerable....so hats off to you

Weird. Everything that I have heard is that flour tortillas are an American thing.

Around here, corn tortillas are used for enchiladas with red sauce, flour tortillas used for green/white sauce (because we are so ethnically diverse and aware in northern Maine...)
