Today northern Minnesotans celebrate their Mexican pride. Bars have been advertising, with even more dubious grammar than normal, drink specials for sombrero wearers, cheap margaritas, the requisite $1 beer, and free tacos.
However, I'm suspicious whether today will prove to be the explosion of flavor and culture we've all been promised. While living here, I have seen people begin to sweat after eating black pepper. I have seen people slather Miracle Whip on their tacos. I have seen the following ingredients melted together, transferred to a casserole dish, and christened a bean dip:
-- 1 brick of Velveeta
-- 1 lb Philadelphia cream cheese
-- 2 cans refried beans
Served, naturally, with a side of mild salsa. Olé, que sabor.
