Hard and soft tacos? How accommodating.
Are hard tacos actually nice to eat? Whenever I see them in movies and such, it seems like the tortilla would just shatter the moment you bite into it.
It’s like a tortilla made of a giant cornchip. Breakage can be an issue but they don’t explode like glass or anything.
Have you ever had a tostada?
That’s just toast in Spanish, it’s not a specific meal or anything.
Not sure if my incorrect spelling above is the issue. But this is from Wikipedia, which seems to reflect my understanding of what this is.
Tostada is the name given to various dishes in Mexico and Guatemala which include a toasted tortilla as the main base of their preparation. The name usually refers to a flat or bowl-shaped tortilla that is deep-fried or toasted, but may also refer to any dish using a tostada as a base.
Edit: oh wait I did spell it correctly…
Oh, I find it weird that many latin american countries name dishes as other common words, but now that you mention it it’s true.
At least in Spain, and according to google translate and deepl (I checked to make sure), tostada is the literal translation of toast and it’s used as such.
No, Mexican food isn’t very prevalent here. I’ve only ever had genuine tacos in a Mexican restaurant on holiday in Dublin.
I guess gentooer means eating a tostada with something on it as comparison of a hard tortilla.
Soft tacos are easier to eat but you can’t get Doritos crunchy taco shells as a soft taco
No, they’re not. Unless you like making messes. Then they’re right up your alley.
I like hard shell tacos, though I will say it’s often an exercise in creatively holding broken pieces of taco as I eat it. The secret is to spread a tortilla with refried beans (or any other food that can serve as glue; guac, sour cream, melted cheese, etc) then wrap that around the hardshell taco for a best of both worlds experience. It’s also very much a white people taco night thing; I’d never want a hard shell for a good Mexican or texmex style taco, but if you’re talking about ground beef in a Mccormick spice blend with peripherals from the “mexican” aisle of an American supermarket, hard shells are dope.
Why not both indeed.
Crunch wraps!
Soft taco around a hard taco.
Doesn’t even have to be dinner
Without paying much attention or zooming in I could tell this was Dutch. Then I saw the white chair, the cheese and de Ruijter.
The white chair is TripTrap made by Stokke (At least the original design, guess it’s been pirated by other makers) This could have been any Nordic country as well apart from the details ofc :) I blame IKEA for that
So the Norwegian Forest Cat is sitting on the Norwegian children chair :)
Edit. Think it might be a siberian actually…
They’re Maine Coons actually! Brother and sister.
How many toes do they got?
I must know!
I’m not entirely sure. But, one thing is for certain, Salad Fingers likes rusty spoons.
Is there some kind of reference to this that I accidentally made? I was asking an honest question because Maine Coons tend to have extra toes (polydactyl).
No.
I’m sorry for interjecting such a random reference into the conversation, but it just popped into my head right then. And I’m weird so…
Edit: my friend has a Maine Coon. I’ll ask if it’s a polydactyl. Interesting that it has that genetic trait.
Sorry, just 4 at the end of the paw.
The dealbreaker for me is that a nordic home would never have pre-sliced cheese on the table but rather a big block of cheese and a cheese slicer.
Pre-sliced is fairly popular in Scandinavian homes now
Well, there’s always some people with no self-respect, but they’re hardly the norm.
Too lazy to slice, in Norway it seems to be the majority
We’ve switched back and forth between pre sliced and blocks. But stayed with blocks after watching an episode of “Keuringsdienst van waarde” where you see how much un-cheese presliced cheese actually is.
In the Netherlands we have both. It just depends on how lazy you are.
Well spotted!
Tuxedo Batman is so polite, and cute.
10/10 deserves dinner.
Literally just finished eating White People Tacos… so good. The cat is the only creature there with any taste.
Does the colour of the skin of the ingredients really affect the taste?
White people tacos refers to a specific way of making tacos, which has little to do with any Mexican recipe. It’s named that way because it’s usually eaten by white people.
And it mf slaps frfr
It’s a white people taco night
A white people taco night
It’s not limited to only white people
But white people love it the most
wat
Where is dinner at? I will be there for taco night every time.
And on Taco Night no less‽
A white people taco night no less…
I am so gratified to learn that others use this term, too. Ain’t nothing wrong with some hamburger meat in a large tortilla chip with cheddar cheese, but it is most definitely not the same food item as you get from a taco joint. This is one of those home cooking exclusives.
People shit on these tacos but it’s a way better use of ground beef than fucking manwich or hamburger helper or meatloaf, or anything else besides burgers.
Yeah that’s a good point. We make some pretty gourmet meatloaf at my house so I might quibble with you on that one. But I am sure there’s some awful meatloaf out there too. Manwch is just… I can’t even. Isn’t it basically dog food you put on bread and call it a sandwich?
Manwich is a canned sauce you add to hamburger, it’s roughly BBQ flavored in nature.
TIL about manwich and hamburger helper, those look disgusting indeed. Only similar thing we had is
which was not to bad actually if you add your own veggies.Don’t you slander sloppy Joe like that.
I was going to comment the same excitement to someone else who used it above but couldn’t think of a good way to phrase it without sounding mildly bigoted.
Damn I would have eaten that whole spread growing up. Late for dinner? more like foods gone
taco cat is taco cat spelled backwards
I know the seasoning packets say to drain the fat from the hamburger after browning, but it always leaves it so dry. I never drain the fat out or add water and I let it all marinate for at least an hour before serving. It’s so, so much better.
Depends on the how lean of a mix you use too. I use fattier ground beef for tacos (80:20 lean to fat) and drain the fat after browning. I find that with that ratio draining doesn’t dry out the beef at all. The other key I’ve found is to cover the serving dish with the beef, while it’s sitting between being scooped for servings. Seems to dry out much faster if left exposed to open air
My issue is that the leftovers become really dry. I’ve started adding 20g of tomato paste, which is about 1/6th of a 6oz can, and that keeps it moist.
You can freeze the rest of the can into smaller chunks that you can take out when needed.
Yeah, just leave it and serve it with a slotted spoon.
I thought it was weird my SO grandma’s cat ate at the table with us but I guess it’s not unusual.
White people taco niiiiiight!!
Figures a tuxedo cat would have class
Ay yo white people taco night? Where you at, I’m flyin in
Twist: OP lives alone with his cat
The cat’s just sitting there like “the cheeese tax, the cheeese tax”
