 If you’re a food blogger who has ever said “Spanish rice” and “Mexican rice” are the same, you should be ashamed of yourself. 

I can’t believe how many Mexican rice recipes are described as Spanish rice.

Spanish rice uses saffron. 

Mexican rice is spicy.

Spain was a colonial oppressor of Mexico for hundreds of years and murdered millions. 

Stop sounding ignorant. If you don’t KNOW if there is a difference, look it up. #food #cooking #history #intelligence
