    i’m not gonna vouch for authenticity but mexican and texmex is pretty standard fare in pretty much any medium sized town (in Germany)

      In Norway, taco is consumed every single Friday by pretty much everyone. We’re crazy about it. I eat it all the time.

      It’s almost impossible to find good Mexican food though. Rumour has it a good shop has popped up in Oslo recently.

      Our “taco” is a bastardization of tex-mex, which arrived in Norway in the 1980s and has lived a life of its own since. It is delicious, but calling it Mexican would be more than generous.

        oh i know about the scandinavification of texmex.
        my fave is my partner’s “tacopaj”. Absurd and absurdly delicious.

          Holy shit - it seems like the Swedes are getting the upper hand! I have never heard of this monstrosity before. I am in awe.

      As an American, I like White People Tacos, and I’m not ashamed of it. I’ve had proper tacos, too, and they are amazing, but it’s a lot easier to do White People Taco Night.
