As someone currently on the toilet after Mexican restaurant, it may be the tastiest but the after effects might not be “best”
shinecass
Ecuadorians also do this. However, it's not as as big as in Mexico.

As a side note, I loved Book of Life. We don't get a lot of animated movies about us and after Despicable Me 2, this was quite balming.

Counterpoint: Indians have full-blown reincarnation.

By that logic, Scandinavian food is the best because Vikings all wanted to go to the afterlife to feast and fight for eternity. Given that

Hakarl and lutefisk exist, either that isn't true or we have wildly different ideas of what qualifies as 'best.'

That is very considerate because Mexican food is fucking awesome. I want some mole now

Mexican food is great! American fast food styled after mexican food is not great.

When you've had some legit good Mexican food, you'd come back from the dead for more, too.

So do Romanians.

“Day of the Dead” is a Mayan/Aztec holiday, uniquely Mexican today. We make an altar to our loved ones so they are not forgotten. Less sad.

traditional samhain celebrations also do the same thing

I do quite like lengua tacos. And I do mean both versions ;)

I wanted to like it but I see you have the perfect amount of likes already so instead I salute you

They don’t have that number of likes anymore, so you can like it now

Why do so many Mexican dishes have refried beans? If they can't get it right the first time, why should we eat it? Checkmate, Mexican ghosts
spinbutton3
Yum....refried beans.....
theweirdostar
How do you reheat them?
Calicoastin818
fried and refried as all things should be
HopelessNecr0mantic
You are entitled to your wrong opinion.
edgeofadhesion
Refried beans aren't fried twice, it's a bad translation of the Spanish.
Pheehelm
For anyone curious, the re- prefix with an adjective in Spanish means "very," not "again." So frijoles refritos = well-fried beans.
RabidDingo
It's a bad translation, it is more accurate to say really cooked.

"I like refried beans, that's why I want to try fried beans cause maybe they're just as good and we're wasting time." -Mitch Hedberg

As a matter of fact, you can get unrefried beans some places- they’re called Pinto beans, and they are also fucking amazing.
prolorus
“de la olla” = beans cooked in an unglazed ceramic pot.
eadanke
I doubt ghosts will be persuaded by the "why try again if it didn't work the first time" argument.
FetaForMoses
“the beans are fried or baked, though as they are fried only once, the term "refried" is misleading” Wikipedia
JohnBigboote74
Good luck misleading those Mexican ghosts... you think they don't know better? They're ghosts, dammit! They can't be fooled so easily.
Sheldonian
Because it's about the taste, it's different, it's not about remaking them. But, I do prefer them just baked because they're healthier
Sheldonian
Oh you meant Fred and refried? I think that's just a way of saying it but to make refried beans you just fry them once
Redyls
to get toast we bake bread twice...

Do Mexican ghosts eat toast? Get out of here with your strawman argument. We're trying to talk refried beans here. Twice-baked bread... smh
tarnok
Aw you pushed the joke the wrong way. Good try though
yoseiwind
Yes, some tortas are toasted and one of its main fillings are refried beans. Also cheese, vegetables, etc - and they are delicious.
OperationM1ndcrime
I take it you don't like twice baked po-tay-toes either, you plebe.
JohnBigboote74
Bake them right the first time, Captain Re-do. There are no mulligans in real life. smh.
VolcanoHerder
What are your thoughts on toast?
JohnBigboote74
You shouldn't have to think about toast. Your opinions on toast should be innate. Instinctive. Don't think about toast.

I'd hate to tell you how the best french fries are made
RVAALLDAY
Yeah for anyone wondering, par cook in oil at 350 for 2 1/2 minutes, then freeze them. Once frozen solid, finish in fryer for a minuteish
