      Save one taco, then eat it to deal with the existential dread of leaving the other two to die with the best the Fourth Reich has to offer.

    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.

            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.

          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.

        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.

    You mean I get to watch them burn alive and eat tacos? Where’s the wrong decision?

      You’d be saving so many lives in the long run, and would have a tasty snack while doing so.

    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.

    I would grab and shake JD violently to get his attention, then ask him to listen very carefully is there any tzatziki sauce ?

    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.
