Walking Tacos? Here in New Mexico, we just call it a Frito Pie. Bourdain puts it perfectly; something that is both disgusting and delicious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TvL-Wg81oE

Specifically, a local diner's take on a popular mexican-american snack around here: flamin hot cheetos, opened up, with queso dumped in, eat with a fork. A hot cheetos queso burger, with a side of cheetos covered in queso. And yes, the proper response is "that is so loving disgusting, but would" Hollaindaise sauce? lmbo

DrBouvenstein posted:With Wolf-brand chili? I'll hear no ill words about the chili that looks like it came from the hardware store I'm fond of the hormel chili in like a really misguided way. Chili cheese dogs are basically dog food, but it's so good. I am willing to overlook almost any food horror if it's in the form of a chili cheese dog. That said, it's one of like 2 forms that I'm willing to eat hormel chili in. The other acceptable format is chili cheese dip, which is the same thing but without hot dogs and on chips. If I'm eating chili as chili, I drat well make it from scratch and use it as a vehicle for sour cream and Too Many Scallions.

my cat is norris posted:They sell something like this at a regional chain of convenience stores called Sheetz. They call them Walking Tacoz, and you can order them with a base of Doritos, Fritos, or Tostitos. I ordered a burrito at Sheetz and the kiosk asked me at two separate points if I wanted to add tater tots.

Does anybody have a lock on what Italian food was before the tomato? I know the Romans invented broccoli, so that's a thing.

Roman food was a lot of roast meat, olive oil, fish and the typical Mediterranean vegetables and fruits, flat bread, fish sauce and a lot of wine. Basically the typical diet of Southern Europe before the Ottoman's and the Columbian Exchange.

And pepper, the ancient Romans really liked pepperquote:With ships sailing directly to the Malabar coast, black pepper was now travelling a shorter trade route than long pepper, and the prices reflected it. Pliny the Elder's Natural History tells us the prices in Rome around 77 CE: "Long pepper ... is fifteen denarii per pound, while that of white pepper is seven, and of black, four." Pliny also complains "there is no year in which India does not drain the Roman Empire of fifty million sesterces," and further moralizes on pepper:

deadly_pudding posted:Does anybody have a lock on what Italian food was before the tomato? I know the Romans invented broccoli, so that's a thing. The Romans actually sort of abhorred the concept of varied cuisine. They had a very strong cultural pride in the fact that they ate simple meals with simple ingredients and held up things like the heavily spiced food of other empires as symbols of decadence and inferiority. What this generally meant was that they ate a lot of plain carbs dipped in spiced oil and slathered in the ancient equivalent of ketchup. Basically the ancient empire equivalent of the American midwest, the Romans would have approved of loose meat sandwiches and casseroles.

Pretty sure "peppers" i.e. the capsicum fruits are completely unrelated to "pepper" the berries that you grind Also pretty sure Pliny the Elder was a wuss and a picky eater

Roman food also made heavy use of fish sauce. HEAVY. Watch the Supersizers Ancient Rome episode, it's revolting! As an archaeologist, though, all that fish sauce left traces of various elements in the jars and that's proven to be useful in a number of ways

I thought I remember hearing that analysis said its not that much different from (proper, not sugary syrup) modern fish sauce, which is the superior source of MSG even if you'd never know it by the smell.

I cook with fish sauce and I basically have to hold my nose until it simmers for a while, but there's somehow no fishy taste in the finished product.

Fun fact about Broccoli, the species it belongs to Brassica oleracea, is also the same species as like at least five other vegetables, they've just been all bred to emphasize on different aspects of the wild plant they were cultivated from It's cousins Brassica rapa, napus, and juncea are similarly diverse in having a lot of cultivars

KiteAuraan posted:So are hot dog tacos. Turns out "authentic" Mexican is pretty drat variable. My concept of burritos and tacos is, they're not supposed to be fancy at all. They originated as whatever leftovers you had sitting around crammed into a tortilla as a cheap filling lunch for workers. Later they became cheap fast food sold from taco carts, initially to workers, but later to the drunken party crowd. And then America became enamored with ethnic street food, and now white people think they're some kind of Hispanic haute cuisine. e. There's still a (dark and shameful) place in my heart for Old El Paso taco kits, even to this day. Also, in my observations of Mexican migrant workers, dudes loving love ramen. rndmnmbr has a new favorite as of 03:36 on May 7, 2016 |

Some personal Anti-Food Porn in my dinner from tonight. Visited the Hummus House on Mills 50 and got a bowl of probably their strongest tasting ingredients mixed together into a puke bowl: * Rice * Andouille sausage * Chickpeas * Melted mozzarella * Red onion * Red pepper hummus * Balsamic vinegar
