Re: Review: Splatoon (Wii U)

@Ryno Um, you do realize that it's the cheapest first party Nintendo Wii U game in the UK, EVER! £40 for the special edition with squid amiibo! Most games are £45 on launch, £55-£60 special edition. It's not Nintendo, it's Nintendo CA (or NA or whoever it was)

@piojito_O Here's the deal.
The demand is actually pretty huge! Hipsters think Mexican is 'cool' and normal people are obsessed with anything American (eg tex-mex). But it's only been popular in the last 5-10 years, so that explains the lack of chain restaurants.
There are like 0 mexicans in Scotland, or England (maybe London has some), but like it's genuinely not a quantifiable population in Scotland xD so that explains the lack of single shop family restaurants.
I have a feeling there's some background difficulty with imports as well, but that's not for me to know.
When people try it, they are literally using random bits of Mexican food (eg a tortilla or tortilla chips) and making posh, bland British food and then slapping the name of a dish on it. I think it's literally just that the British's taste buds can't handle/don't enjoy mexican food because it's too flavourful. Every time I eat at a friends house or at a cafe the food is undercooked, underspiced and just all round mild. But it's normal to them.

I reckon a real mexican restaurant would do really well in Glasgow as it would get a lot of attention from being 'exotic' and there are enough hipsters and people with good taste (eg me :}) that would eat there regularly.

-side note: My dad did missionary training in Mexico and he always tells us stories of the meals he had while living with a Mexican family there, well-jel xD

@piojito_O Trust me I know Taco Bell is nothing like real mexican, it's just one of the many variations that aren't available in Scotland! I love real mexican, home-made tex-mex and whatever the heck taco bell is xD It's just homemade is the only one I have access to, so I'm constantly longing for any mexican resteraunt of any kind. (And seriously, you haven't tasted 'not mexican' until you've tried a Scottish cafe's " 'Mexican' 'chili' and 'nachos' "
