Welcome to a little slice of culinary heaven where we share photos of our favorite dishes, from savory succulent sausages to delicious and delectable desserts. Made it yourself? We'd love to hear your recipe!

Rules:

1. BE KIND

Food should bring people together, not tear them apart. Think of the human on the other side of the screen, and don't troll, harass, engage in bigotry, or otherwise make others uncomfortable with your words.

2. NO ADVERTISING

This community is for sharing pictures of awesome food, not a platform to advertise.

3. NO MEMES

4. PICTURES SHOULD BE OF FOOD

Preferably good, high quality pictures of good looking grub; for pictures of terrible food, see !shittyfoodporn@lemmy.ca

Hate to be that guy but chorizo, al pastor, limes, cabbage, and onions arrived with the Spanish.

Multiple species of onions are native to North America and were used both as food and medicinally prior to European colonization.

They were originally from either the Middle East or Asia and were brought in during the Columbian exchange. I won't deny there might be other New World variants that I'm unaware of though.

This is fascinating. Use of onions predates writings IIRC. Which means we don't have written record of any culture encountering it for the first time unlike say, oranges.

Explain... The only things there unrelated to the Spaniards invading are the fish, maize, and pulpo.
