I'll be honest... not really a fan of the regular Mountain Dew: looks like radioactive urine and is so sweet it could give a honeybee diabetes (and this coming from a guy who can eat honey straight from the bottle). Even the name is vaguely reminiscent of bathroom adventures... nope, not really a fan of Mountain Dew.
But then again, who's going to take the guy who eats honey straight all that seriously xD
Wow! That's crazy how the attitude sort of shifted. I moved back to the states seven years ago now, so it wasn't all that long ago. I think few people actually ordered it from those fast food joints (you can slip into a taqueria and get infinitely better for sure) but it always seemed to be on the menu anyway.
I'm a big fan too of the dish too. My husband will request it time and again; I just wish making the beans wasn't so time-consuming.
Also, I'll have to test out that coconut business. With red sauce as the base?? Or like, olive oil?
