"That night I met up with some Colombian friends and we went to a Mexican restaurant to celebrate.
'Are you ready to order?' the waiter asked. He clearly didn't like the look of us.
'We'd all like beans, rice and eggs,' I said.
The dish wasn't on the menu. He pointed this out, testily. 'This is a Mexican restaurant - you must eat Mexican food.' All I could do was remind him that what we'd ordered was all most Mexicans ever ate. He couldn't deny this and went to order the food."
Nick Danziger, Danziger's Travels (1987)
