I guess that explains why close to 25% of restaurants
featured on Triple
D and similar Food Network shows feature pork belly. I
can't think of any cut of meat that gets as much coverage
as pork belly.

You don't believe in them?  They are real.
Are you just averse to believing in them because they example
of the amount of time they spend dealing with the pork belly
that you said Americans aren't interested in?

Most Americans are interested in bacon - they aren't interested

they're Filipino, or Chinese, or Korean, or Okinawan.

What's the problem? You think I don't qualify as an American? I think
you're the one that's misguided.

I would think that to be self-evident. Most of yoose people aren't
interested in pork belly. When was the last time you cooked up pork
belly? Do you have a favorite family recipe for pork belly? You might
but I doubt it - because most Americans aren't interested in pork belly.
My guess is that yoose guys think it's low class meat.

Just to clarify: the younger generation of Americans are more interested
in pork belly than the boomers ever were. The younger generation of
Americans are doing things with pork belly but they're not making
American bacon. They're making ethnic foods. The Mexicans love pork
belly too. We can't forget about the Mexicans.

 Boy, when she cut the skin off, my mouth dropped. Kids these days...

Lol @ dat bobbit action...🩹

We went to a Mexican restaurant tonight. Da kids ordered guacamole -
they always do that. I don't know why. It always tastes bland and
boring. How hard can it be to mix up some exciting guacamole? My plate
wasn't that great either. It made me sleepy while I was eating it.

This is a cuisine that fares poorly where the Mexican population lags.
Mostly we've Tex-Mex'd it into blandness.
That burrito spent too long under the salamander and authentic Spanish rice almost never goes back to roots:

https://mydominicankitchen.com/rice-with-corn-arroz-con-maiz/
Either of those are fine, but I use sauteed garlic along with the corn. And when I want perfect non-clumping grains - the rice gets sauteed too.
Apparently no one this side of our border bothers to make it commercially. Tomater juice rice with peas and blown up grains always wins out.
Best I can advise is to maybe stick with fajitas, those are somewhat hard to ruin.
