When I worked for a consumer goods company, we were transitioning to packages for North America which were tri-lingual ---- English, Spanish, and French. Many of this company's packages have all 3.

osuche,

I’m seeing it at the grocery store. The “International Isle” now contains many more products marketed towards the Latino community than it did, say, four years ago.

I used to manage a food ingredients business about a year ago....and I made several trips to Mexico. Many of the local Mexican food companies were exporting -- chiefly to the US and Canada. Exports made up 30-40% of the company's production, and 70-80% of the profits. Mexican nationals in the US had a greater willingness to pay for Mexican foods and drinks, and also made more money (so they were able to pay).

There's big business in the business of ethnic foods!

Give me ethnic food anyday - it's my personal opinion that it tastes sooooo much better than typically American food!

PixieSprite,

When these immigrants are Americans, then typically American food will be better.

LOL @ jseal's comment. My husband *loves* meatloaf, and eggs, and all foods American. I think it's th enovelty effect of growing up Indian.

Me? I could live on Asian food, pasta, and Mexican. I won't let meatloaf pass my lips. Ever. And I hate eggs.

We compromise and eat what I like.
