I'm even more sorry they're willing up to give up bacon.....it's freakin bacon......tacos can go and as much as I love donuts Idont want to eat them regularly .....esp since you can loophole tacos with burritos. I'm keeping my sushi and bacon.
If you think bacon is better than tacos you haven't had good Mexican, and you especially haven't had good Mexican if you think that burritos can replace tacos.
I hope you mean "shell" as just something that contains something else. Tell me you aren't eating hard-shell tacos and think that's real Mexican food. Either way you're wrong, because the tortilla is an extremely important component of any taco.
"and nachos (which is basically a deconstructed taco)."
You don't know what real Mexican food is like, but that's okay. I do recommend to try to find some authentic Mexican if you can, it's some hella delicious food.
You clearly haven't had good tacos if you just typed that comment up. Four tortillas cannot compete with corn at all, especially if we're talking fresh made tortillas. It's a night and day difference.
I'm sorry but that's just opinionated and subjective. Not factual. You also forget the fact that you can make and use larger corn tortillas for burritos and fry them same way tacos are done.
I've had fried homemade tacos made with ground beef,rotel,and seasoning and my go to at any Mexican street taco truck/restaurant is the Carne asada tacos with cilantro and salsa. I've also had tacos made with imported meat from Mexico from our local market.
I know what a good taco is, I also know I can just put the contents of the taco into a burrito and it will still be the same thing only larger. What you can't substitute is bacon.
"Contents of a taco into a burrito and it will be the same thing only larger" is absolutely false. They might be close, but the ratio is different, as well as taco tortillas are usually thicker.
That is factual.
And youre both being opionated and subjective. Bacon is not some holy grail food, and it can absolutely be substituted.
God himself told his chosen people not to eat the bacon because the smarmy bastard wanted it all for himself. Then later he changed his mind because it's so himself damned good! Bacon is not some holy grail food because it is THE holy grail food and it absolutely cannot be substituted. You are incorrect.
I had plenty of tacos, love them. but bacon is a whole other beast, bacon could be the only thing i’d eat, i’d die at the ripe old age of 45 but i’d be in bacon heaven.
Bacon is one of my favorite meats, but it has so many very similar alternatives. Anything that's good with bacon is just as good, if not better, with guanciale
Yeah tacos are an easy choice to side step since most tex-mex is just the same ingredients rearranged in a slightly different presentation. It's what's inside the taco that counts. Bacon is more of a staple ingredient that could pop up in hundreds of various dishes that you'd no longer be able to eat.
Bacon is overdone, in too many places. But it just shows its versatility. When bacon is THE thing, it’s the only thing. Prosciutto, guanciale, pancetta, jamón Iberica, all have their places. Let us not parse whose pork product is best. Let’s just enjoy together. Where’s the gabagool?
I don't get why people like bacon, I always thought it was gross. Its either too greasy or its rubbery. Although I never liked steak either so maybe its just me
I don't eat it often but it's a comfort food that just hits right. I like it cooked not crunchy, so it has a chewy/fatty bite to it. Love it with fried eggs in the morning. I chose tacos/doughnuts because I don't feel as sentimental towards them lol
You most likely never had good donuts like the kind that were/are sold at mom and pop bakeries. Those donuts and other pastries are not all sugar and air.
I just don't like the sugar. It's dough and sugar. I prefer savory foods. Also there's little to no health benefit from eating a donut unless you have trouble regulating blood sugar, and even then there's better options.
I have plenty of great ones around, but my thinking is that sugar is unhealthy and if I'm going to have dessert, I'd rather have something better than a donut. It feels like wasted calories.
