Such a whiplash for me to see orxata mentioned!
I used to think it was Spain’s national drink as we always had it when we would visit my family. Only recently was I informed that it was a Valentian specialty and apparently not that popular (I only ever saw the orxata de xufa brand)
And now you’re telling me people outside of decking Catalunya even know about it!
Amazeballs!
Apparently they do but it’s the Mexican variant where they imitate the chufa/Tiger nut flavour with rice and vanilla apparently. They don’t know what they are missing.

It is very popular in Mexico, central, and south America. It is also very popular in a lot of the US due to its ubiquity in Mexico.

Oh no! Those poor people, what’s the point if it’s not the real thing? The whole point is how unique the flavour of Tiger nut is.
