I like a good old combination of the two, I often have Mexican Curry which is a lightly seasoned in a Mexican BBQ style powder and then cooked like a Curry and served with Tortilla Wraps.

The exact same thing has been said about the Chinese, the Italians, the Greeks, and many others over the years.

It's simply xenophobia wrapped in the flag.
Nonsense.

Where are all the "Chinese," Italians" and "Greeks" throwing a hissy fit when it is proposed that the federal government finally make English the official langauge?

Good luck with that answer.

I also don't see the Chinese, Italian or Greek language taking an equal place next to English, nor do I see an estimated 15-20 million people from those countries illegally entering America.

People that make your kind of knee-jerk and illogical remarks are a big part of the problem when it comes to illegal immigration.

Not an argument, just saying I like Hispanic culture and food, not trying to convince you of anything.
With remarks like that you are not in a position to convince anyone of anything related.

Not "most," it's just a little over half and even then my state hasn't legislated any "official" language, neither has New York, Texas, Pennsylvania, or Michigan. I don't see a civil war in our future, what would it be, Texas vs. New Mexico? it's laughable.
By definition more than half would be most.

I don't care about your particular state as I wasn't addressing just one state.

Become a student of history and maybe then you can see the obvious forming, an existing American culture with English as its language and an invasive, disrespectful and often hostile Hispanic or Latino culture with Spanish as its language.

Quebec separatism has no equivalent in the United States. But, the Spanish language market in the US is lucrative, that's why Univision, and Telemundo are nationally available, and it's not destroying the country from my point-of-view.
Are you kidding? What kind of argument is that?

Quebec is a separate culture with its own language within Canada. A Hispanic or Latino culture within America with its own language would be the same at it relates to my comparison and the danger of separatism.

What is your obsession with Mexican immigrants?
Gee, let me think. Would an estimated 15-20 million illegal Mexicans in the country have anything to do with it?

No one is "embracing" Hispanic culture and the Spanish language.
Oh really? Then explain to me why food and product packaging is now displaying Spanish as an equal to English! Explain to me why the government funded PBS broadcasts a dedicated channel in Spanish.

I could go on. Would you like me to?

The United States is a salad bowl, (not a melting pot anymore) where everyone adds in their own unique ingredients, we accept and value everyone's unique additions,
So explain what I wrote above. If it is a "salad bowl" then why does Spanish take such a prominent and unique position?

I don't know what your problem is, but I can't see civil war in our future, but I can see quesadilla's becoming even more of a staple
I don't have the problem, you do. I respect universal laws on immigration, the same laws that the Mexican government strictly enforces on their southern border but hypocritically does not on its northern border. In fact, the Mexican government encourages and supports illegal immigration into America, something that should be viewed as an act of war.

You don't see a "civil war" because you are either in denial or you are not very knowledgeable when it comes to history and human relations.

I'm not going to argue with someone I think is a fraud. I will simply ask where is this "civil war" going to come from when 2nd generation Hispanic immigrant's Spanish fluency drops off a cliff and by the time they have kids and grandkids the 3rd and 4th generation's are monolingual English speaker's who learn Spanish in High School like the rest of us. I don't know what you're obsession is with dual labeling, NAFTA means products produced here, in Canada, or in Mexico, have harmonized regulations, so why wouldn't they be labeled for sale in both the US and Mexico. Anyway I think you're a phony, even the staunchest right wingers here view Mexican immigrants as a labor pool, and don't see the English language dying out (because it isn't), I think you're a fraud coming on here not doing us in the United States any favor's simply making us look bad.

as "any student of history" would know - EVERYONE IN THE USA, bar the native Americans, is an immigrant. You and your English-speaking family are not inidigenous.
face it - you are just prejudiced knee-jerk racist who has hijacked an otherwise friendly food thread to spout aggressive rubbish.

I peronally don't like the combination of spices. Just IMO of course.

garam masala = Indian sweet spice mix = sweet spice mix Notes: You can buy this either whole or ground. Durban is a well-regarded brand. To make your own: 2 parts ground cardamom + 5 parts ground coriander + 4 parts ground cumin + 2 parts ground black pepper + 1 part ground cloves + 1 part ground cinnamon + 1 part ground nutmeg (Adapted from a recipe in Substituting Ingredients by Becky Sue Epstein and Hilary Dole Klein. See my sources.) or see the recipe for Garam Masala posted on RecipeSource.com. Substitutes: equals parts cumin, pepper, cloves, and nutmeg, all ground OR curry powder (spicier, different flavor)

http://www.foodsubs.com/SpicemixInd.html
I've never heard or seen a Garam Masala referred to as a sweet spice mix! My understanding of Garam Masala is "Hot Mixture". Now i'm no chef , but i do love Indian food and have come to realise that every Indian family has their own version of a Garam Masala, in fact, at my favorite Indian take-away the chef uses up to 25 ingredients to make his Garam Masala!! I also don't know how good the brand "Durban" is, but that is in South Africa (Granted it does have a large Indian community) so would i wouldn't say it is 100% authentic. If anyone knows or has a good G.Masala recipe, please post it on here!
