even Mexican cusine is predominally of Spanish origin...

or do u think the Mayas or Aztecs cooked it?



the way they cook is very Spanish they just add some exotic ingredients

They have some influences, but Mexicans also have cuisine of their own. They were influenced by Spanish, but we can all agree the Mexicans differenciated themselves quite a bit and made some innovations in cuisine of their own that the Spanish did not.

Mexican cuisine, and culture in general is a mix of Native and European.

Guess anything to the left of ME, would be western. Weird term, but I use it quite a bit. Probably for countries populated with "white people". I would call NZ/Oz as Western countries too.

Mexican food is a blend, like the people. Definitely not of predominantly Spanish origin, in my opinion. Maiz, masa, chile, cacao, aguacate (avocado), nopal (cactus), using the molcajete, and I can go on and on. If anything, I always thought it sided to indigenous elements. Also every state has their own influences and ways of creating their own dishes.

In my neck of the woods people love that stuff, and also prefer flour tortillas over the corn ones.
