I have been in Mexican restaurants in France and in Australia. The Mexican restaurant in Australia -- in Brisbane -- was like any Mexican restaurant in the U.S. Whoever was running it was familiar with Mexico, or anyway with the Mexican restaurants in Southern California. The Mexican restaurant in France, though -- somewhere near Angoulême, where I and a bunch of Furry fans had gone to the International Comics Festival (Festival International de la Bande Dessinée d'Angoulême) in 1991 -- well, I don't think that the restauranteurs had ever been within a continent of Mexico. The food was quite good, but it certainly wasn't Mexican!
I regret that I will never have the opportunity to go to South Africa and experience the South African idea of the Native Americans. Or do you mean the American Wild West?
