You forgot Cilantro/Coriander.
Actually have you ever had real Mexican food...Not the Tex-Mex variety that's ubiquitous in the U.S.?

Yes I been to one or two but to be honest I find Mexican food to be mostly unedifying. I went to this restaurant recently with an American guy who recommended it. It wasn't bad but when you are in a city with many thousands of restaurants, with every cuisine on the planet...

Hmmm, I don't follow. If it's not PC attitude gone too far, then it's race-baiting or maybe victimhood-seeking-rhetoric. I just don't see the snobbery angle. Mind you, I'm lucky enough to have spent some time at country clubs (Dishwasher!) and indeed, it's hard to find a place more full of snobs.
I'd like to hear more about how it's mere snobbery as opposed to the impression of PC madness I got from reading it.

As a Country Club member, I resemble, I mean resent that remark! However I agree with you it's more about PC than snobbery.

How about PC Snobs? That really an accurate description.
OK, I have to admit that I have actually been a member of a country club when I was living at home. My family had a membership. My dad likes to golf a lot and my youngest brother was actually a regional champion golfer in high school. Why am I writing this, you might ask? It's so I can share a really funny story:
A new course opened in Bridgeport CT and my father took me, my brother, and my brother-in-law out there for a round. The place was very hoity toity and had a strict dress code. I had very long hair at the time and looked like Jesus with a golf cart and I was wearing a mock turtle neck like Tiger Woods was always wearing at the time. I looked fabulous! Anyway, the course marshal decides to give me a hard time about not having a collared shirt. Now this place was $125 a head to play and there was nothing special that any other course in the $50 range would have had other than the views of the sound. So I wasn't about to let the marshal harass me after dad just dropped hundreds of dollars in their lap to scoot around their dog track. I had one quick retort for the guy.
I said to the guy "I'll let you in on a little secret..." Then I mock-whispered "I'm not really a golfer."

One of my wife's former co-workers, a Cuban, opened a Mexican taco stand, with Mexican employees...probably of questionable legal status, and had excellent carne asada tacos, tacos al pastor and tacos manok, all very good but their braised chicharron tacos were out of this world good.
Where did you have it??
Mexican food in the uk is unrecognizable as Mexican food... My daughter said you couldn't be sure wtf is was suppose to be most of the time...
You definitely have to be closer to the source to get it even halfway decent.

Bill, if you had opened the link you'd have seen that it was in Bangkok!!
There is also a Taco Bell down the road from me but I wouldn't go in there if you paid me!!
I have a neighbor originally from Sydney, Aus & I was talking to her a few years ago about Mexican food... She told me there were five good Mexican restaurants there.lol
Chinese food is world wide but is Mexican on it's way as well???
