    Not a fan of tacos at all, but I’ll save them for someone who is.

    I’ll probably give them to an immigrant or homeless person just to make it that little sweeter.

      Do you live in a place with terrible Mexican food?

        I live in a place with basically NO Mexican food.

        ETA: I’m pretty much not familiar with Mexican cuisine.

          Sounds a lot like Canada, where most people’s exposure to “Mexican food” is Taco Bell. Welcome to the club.

          My distaste for Tacos comes down to the fact I don’t like crunchy foods that shatter, and especially so when they run the risk of being messy. I mean, I can handle a gooey messy burger just fine, but that’s because it doesn’t shatter when I bite into it. Tacos hit both those pain points. Give me Arroz con Pollo any day, I absolutely love it. And yes, the only place I can get this is from Rancho Chico south of the border in Washington state.

          Which means it’s a no-go until America overthrows the current authoritarian ChristoFascist administration. Because they won’t allow themselves to be legitimately voted out of power. Soooo… possibly a decade or more until I can eat there again, assuming America doesn’t invade Canada in the meantime.

            Kind of depends on where you are in Canada. If you’re in the middle or out east, shit is pretty bleak. Being closer to California (aka, former Mexican territory) helps a lot.

            Further you get from Mexico, the harder it is to find the right ingredients and people who know what decent Mexican food tastes like.

            The funny thing is, hard shells aren’t authentic. That’s an American thing. Soft tortillas are authentic, maybe cooked just a little on the stove.

            I agree, hard tacos are a mess. I don’t understand why they exist. The texture is fine, but it’d be better as something in the taco, not as the container.

            You can make tacos at home too by the way. They’re a very simple food, and you just use whatever protein you want and whatever additions you feel like. It’s like a sandwich. You can’t go wrong. You just use what you have/want.

            I’m not comfortable sharing that info, but I’ve tried some Mexican food in my travels. Wasn’t bad, but I doubt it was authentic.

            Sadly that seems to describe most of Europe. I would love to try some proper Mexican food. But according to people who had it they haven’t found a place here that makes good stuff.

        London, UK. Been to a taco place, and a Burrito place or two. Underwhelmed.

        Any fellow Londoners care to recommend a decent Mexican place? There must be some here.

      I don’t think that anyone can just not like tacos at all, because they aren’t just one thing. It’s like a sandwich with bread, then whatever you want to put in it; beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, fish, or whatever protein you want and spices/vegitables/toppings. Maybe you don’t like Taco Bell, but there’s tacos out there you’d love.

        For sure. I explained in another comment that I have very little exposure to Mexican. I don’t dislike it I just don’t love it, because I barely know it.

          That’s fair. It’s pretty easy to do at home if you want to try it. You may need to mix your spices yourself if you can’t find a spice mix, but I’m sure all the spices are available that you’d need. Just get some tortillas (soft, not hard), ground beef or chicken (or whatever else), tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and you’ll be good to go. Maybe look it up online to find inspiration for what to add/what spices you need.

    Well the tacoes are already in my hands because I was the one stating the fire when I saw who was in the room and I wanted some snacks while watching it burn down.

    Can’t take the risk. Better bar the door before the flames spread. It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

          I mean… It’s literally genetic. The aldehydes in cilantro usually aren’t strong enough for people to taste. But if you want to know what I taste when I eat cilantro, go crush a stink bug, it’s the same chemical.

          Apparently I can desensitize myself to it, and I want to. Certainly would open up a lot of options in foods I’m already a fan of (if you leave out the cilantro).

            I’m weird. I can fully recognize the part that taste like soap. It isn’t strong or overpowering, but I can recognize the taste. Still love cilantro for the rest of the flavors it gives. I guess kinda like how beets taste a bit like dirt to me, but I still like beets and beet juice. Or truffle oil having an “earthy” flavor to me.

              I wish I could taste the other flavors. That’s actually why I was considering desensitizing myself to it. I get the dirt and earthy, but I love both of those the same. I’ve been growing my palette, but it took me nearly two decades to find hops that I could stand to start desensitizing myself to that bitter.
