Chili con carne is not a Mexican dish, it is much more part of the Tex-Mex cuisine in the southern United States. The ingredients are only meat and chili peppers, so there are countless recipes with a wide variety of ingredients. Outside of Texas, beans are one of them, and corn seems to be a German invention.
I stuck to the Texas variant, which does not contain beans. Since a certain lady of the house is a bit sensitive to...

Anyone who has ever seen the racket movies with Bud Spencer and Terence Hill can certainly remember those huge pans they ate in the cutscenes. Lots of beans, bacon and tomatoes, eaten directly out of the pan with the wooden spoon.
It does not really matter if you boil the beans yourself or take them out of a tin (it should not be cheapest stuff), as you only warm them up at the end.
I have allowed myself to replace the pan with a...

When my two sons were relatively small, towards the end of the 1980s, it was always a highlight for the kids to go eat at a KFC. Because of the discovery of ADHD by my younger son, I no longer wanted to feed my kids with monosodiumglutamate because that stuff also acts as a neurotransmitter and thus promote ADHD, so I moved on to make the chicken pieces myself.
A few changes have been made over the years. Cornflakes can only be...

The McRib was sold for the first time in 1981, so from 1985 it was also available in all McDonalds branches in Germany. Long after I found this company's burgers unbearable, I still enjoyed eating the McRib 10 years later. Unfortunately, they then started tweaking the BBQ sauce for so long that at some point it no longer tasted good. Then, in the early 2000s, I tried another one, horrible. A few months ago, McDonald's had a "spicy"...

The flat iron steak is cut from the beef shoulder, more precisely the shoulder blade. Until a few years ago, that ended up in soup meat at best. In recent years people have realized what a great cut that makes for a beef roast. The piece contains a tendon in the middle, which turns into a kind of jelly after prolonged stewing and makes it so juicy. Our American friends found out a long time ago that if you remove this tendon, it is...

Tacos come from the TexMex cuisine of the southern USA. You can make them yourself with cornmeal and water, but you'll need a taco press. For me it's frills, I would use the thing at most once a year. So I buy my taco shells in our supermarket in the exotic shelf.
Tacos are thought to derive from the Mexican tortillas, also made from cornmeal, that are tumbled into a mold to form the usual shell, which is then stuffed with whatever...

The Cubano is a sandwich brought to the United States by Cubans. The origin is said to have been eaten by the cigar rollers as well as the workers on the sugar cane plantations during breaks.
The Cuban bread, a soft baguette, is cut up lengthwise and spreaded in layers with boiled ham, Swiss cheese, gherkins and pork roast. A good substitute for the original Cuban bread are hot dog buns.
Before the revolution, tourists and seasonal...

An American blogger colleague gave me the idea with her lobster sandwich. A lobster, fully cooked, broken clean from the shell and covered in lots of lubricant (mayonnaise) on a sandwich bun. You can easily eat out of your hand and at least the guest doesn't have to fumble with the lobster cutlery.
Now lobster is relatively cheap on the east coast of the USA and Canada, here in Europe no one can afford it anymore. So if lobster is...

As is well known, in the American southern states, especially in Louisiana, seasoning is quite generous. It is the same with this recipe. I had a template from chefkoch.de, but the first time I read it I couldn't really imagine whether it would taste good. Maple syrup, mustard, plus chilli powder (in Germany that's not just cayenne pepper but a mixture of hot paprika powder and cumin) and oregano should actually kill any taste of the...

Guacamole is an avocado dip. For this very ripe avocados are hollowed out and either crushed with a fork or puréed with a hand blender. Indispensable in the various recipes are lemon or lime juice and salt. Optional is garlic, diced tomatoes, chilies and onions.
Originally the guacamole came from Mexico, but has spread throughout Central America and the southern United States.
It is eaten as a dip with nachos and tortilla chips or...
