[quote=Anonymous]I actually love all the ideas- we are ex pats and miss tex Mex so so much - id take him to eat barbacoa and barrio tacos as well or get the ones from Trader Joes.   its also impossible to get wild rice over here- they just eat black rice, so wild rice soup.

I know we think our soft tacos with teh grilled chicken and avocado are "authentic"but they are authentic California food, not authentic Mexican food.  I actually think it would be hilarious if you made your  american style Italian food and see his reaction to its b/c it has evolved to have such a different taste from "Italian" food he is used to... I mean they sell "american pizza"  with fries and hotdogs on it in Italy. they even get upset when americans make bolognese with Italian sausage or start it with parma ham b/c traditionally it is made with only beef.  where in Italy is he from?? make the Italian sauces with the "wrong" pasta shapes or american style fettuccine Alfredo with broccoli and put  chili crunch on it- this is something americans eat that would be so so weird for Italians.

and I agree that you should bring home a cookbook of "american" or midwestern foods from the library and maybe ask him to choose stuff from it. also take him to eat Korean wings etc...they dont have those in europe.  check out that maga influencers books- half baked harvest, her recipes are actually very typical modern "american" and the white chicken chili and flank steak recipes  are so so good.  and she is ridiculous- she has these Hawaiian shrimp bowls and then goes I've never been to Hawaii but I think this must be what it tastes like (and its quite delicious)
