My own definition of it is more of anything (person, thing, or place) that is of sub-par quality. Of course, I first heard of the term in Once Upon a Time in Mexico, when Johnny Depp so eloquently says it to either Cheech or that one Mexican dude in all the movies.
Usage: “So, Jose…are you a Mexican or a Mexicant?”
Something written above is probably offensive to somebody out there. But the people that would be offended by this are so far away, this probably will not reach all the way there. It’s one thing to be in cities named: San Diego, San Francisco, or El Cajon. It’s another to be in Islington, London. I have no fear here on any Mexican retaliation. That said, I love Mexicans, and in particular Im a big fan of Mexican food.
My precious
The burrito is the gold standard when it comes to Mexican food. It’s a pretty simple formula…
Burrito Ingredients:
1. Freshly rolled tortilla. Nothing store bought. You need someone Mexican to make it and deliver it.
2. Fresh ingredientes. Avocado is the most important. Ingredients should not include more than the following:
Pico del gallo (optional) aka salsa fresca
Carne – pollo asado, carne asada, or carnitas. That’s it. Stay away from shredded anything but carnitas. Don’t venture too much here, you will get hepatitis. Mexican food is not where you want to be adventurous. You could do char-grilled meats…but that tends to be in business burritoes that cost $8 and tou would tend to be a wanker in a suit.
Queso (optional)
sour creme (optional)
onion and coriander…you Americans call it “cilantro”
guacamole
Salsa (to be added on after)
That’s it. Notice I did not put beans, rice, or…God forbid…lettuce. If you want a salad on the side, feel free. Feel free to also stick crumpets up your arse. I could care less. Keep in mind fresh salad is what I call Mexicant food. Don’t mess with it. You may die. [London Ninja does not assume any responsibility over deaths resulting from bad Mexicant.]
So why am I writing about Mexican food? Because there isn’t any in London. I would probably kill a small child in Portugal for a good burrito here. My American friend in London did show me a whole site devoted to the pursuit of a good burrito in London, but I am going to refrain from this quest. It´s not going to happen. There’s no good Mexican food outside of California(Tex-Mex tastes like Taco Bell) and I can barely find a good burrito in San Francisco. For the most part they only exist in Southern California. Everywhere else outside of California, including London only gets Mexicant food.
