Hello, Tim. This is Jay.
Answers to the questions:
2.In Mexico, what is a “Chili”? What is “chili” in the United States?
In Mexico, "chili" is any one of about 100 different types of peppers, and in USA, "chili" is a dish.
3.What is masa? What is the difference between masa and corn meal?
Masa is a kind of corn flour. Masa is a much finer grind. Corn meal is coarser.
The newsletter of this week is about food. I have been desiring Mexican food for a long time, but the prices of Mexican food restaurants in Taiwan are so high, really so high. I don't have much money. Consequently, I have never been any Mexican food restaurants. In Taiwan, there are some famous meals, too. Let me introduce you.

Jay,
ReplyDeleteYour recipe for pearl Milk tea got lost when you put in the white background to the text. All I could see were white stripes! It's sad. You can't even find a cheap taco in Taipei?
