    I was talking to a Pod Jons guy I know about how after early 2020, my Plan B to emigrate out of the US became my Plan A.

    I mentioned a region I liked and he jumped on it and mentioned his experience visiting the capital of an adjacent country for 2 days as a tourist and said, "You can't get any good burritos there." Like being able to get a burrito at a food truck is more important than universal healthcare or any of the several dozen other things that make life in the US alienating and precarious.

    I make most of the food I eat, because it's cheaper and I have lived in places where the restaurant/take out options are limited. I like certain curries, so I learned to make those curries. I like schezuan, so I learned to use the peppercorns. I like ginger beef over jasmine rice, so I learned to make it. I like calzones, so I learned to make dough and make calzones. My tastes change over time, but basically everywhere I go I bring it all with me.

    none of this is even remotely a big deal, except to Americans with America Brain who are apparently stuck only eating the treats that they can find around them.

      Yeah, the top deal with the Mexican food would be something I'd miss, but I can just like, make that shit at home real easy.
