I generally don’t order alcoholic beverages in restaurants with the exception of Mexican restaurants. At home, on fajita night, my dad always makes margaritas. There is just something nice about being buzzed and eating guac, chips, and softshell tacos.
Is this conditioning? Because my family often does this— or is this a more general phenomenon because Mexican food; by some quality yet unknown, be it texture, flavor, or smell, is uniquely well suited to being paired with alcohol?
I used not like food and drink together either, I would switch to water at a wedding when food was served but it waned. It mostly went away due to finger food in pubs and now a beer and good grub is heavenly.
I saw a steak and whiskey post and I cant say I could go for spirits with dinner.
