Hello, Nick. Welcome to the Mender Room.

How are you?

Ola!

So for me and my dad's dad, we love tortillas and butter.

For my wife, they think it's disgusting.

They never had it.

All those things, but it's bizarre.

We are both sides are Mexicans.

So for them, they never had it.

They're not big on butter either, my wife's side.

Well, look, tortillas and buttered to me, it's just like butter toast.

It's plain, but there's nothing disgusting about it, nothing exciting about it.

It's just fine.

But they don't like butter?

You basically saying you toast the tortillas or you just eat it straight with butter?

We toasted them and eat it with like a soup. All right. To me, that's not a bit, that's not bad. It's like non sometimes has... Sure, right. It's bread with butter. Olive oil on top. Turn your radio off, Nick. Both sides of my food. Yep. But you said that your wife, your wife's side of the family does not like butter?

Yeah, but not big on butter. Really? What does their kind of go-to cuisine then? What would they eat if it was up to the- Would it be lard? Technically, if you're making refried beans. Or it depends what you're making. I mean, if it's like if I'm buttering my toast, I'm not going to put lard on it. If I'm cooking something from scratch, and I have lard available or even bacon fat.

I'll use that for sure. I mean, look, I went to a restaurant once in the like a fancy steakhouse in Vegas. And they had butter or English butter? What's English butter? Right, the same thing. What's English butter? and he's like he starts going through it and then he looks at us he goes it's basically lard

it's fat and we were like's like, he starts going through it. And then he looks at us, he goes, it's basically lard.
