"Chili, as we know it in the U.S., cannot be found in Mexico today except in a few spots which cater to tourists. If chili had come from Mexico, it would still be there. For Mexicans, especially those of Indian ancestry, do not change their culinary customs from one generation, or even from one century, to another."
“detestable food passing itself off as Mexican, sold in the U.S. from Texas to New York.”
- Linda Stradley from the web site What's Cooking America.
