freeedr posted:I saw a Brit saying that they are better at using loan words and words with recent foreign origins than Americans are and they said “tacos” like “tækɒs” and when that was pointed out they said that that pronunciation was more correct than the way any American English speaker says it. They also presented this viewpoint as though they were speaking for everyone on Great Britain. British TV chef Rick Stein won't stop saying "tack-os" and "pass-ta" with a hard a sound. He's been to the countries where these foods come from and is a professional chef so I assume he does it because he's old or he's taking the piss

Does kind of make me curious what a family taco night looks like in England. I'm just imagining an entire family, gaunt and starving, having little silent weeps each time they bring this confusing food to their mouths just to have it all fall apart. Like an extremely specific circle of hell.

That would be some weird Squid Game levels of food antagonization. Hard shell tacos exist simply to ruin dinners. To turn delicious spicy meats and fresh crisp veggies into small piles of disappointment and stains. It's the Superman 64 of taco wrappings. Sure, with enough practice and patience you can learn to eat a hard shell taco. Hell, you may even convince yourself you enjoy them to some extent, but at the end of the day you'd be better off just mixing all the toppings into the meat and eating it with a serving spoon.

My Spirit Otter posted:the wrongest post on the internet, congrats <foghorn> Son, I say son, are you a moron? Sure yeah lemme just put my food in a shell that by its very nature cracks apart letting the tasty innards spill out as soon as I take a bite! And also doesn't taste nearly as good as a primo tortilla and is basically a larger version of a nacho chip. I mean yeah if we're talking Taco Bell Doritos taco shell level of food then sure you go ahead, but if I'm gonna have some quality Mexican food it would be absurd to put it in a hard shell. (all that said, this is all moot because burritos are the superior food - they have no chance of spillage, unless you try I guess)

i can eat hardshell tacos without losing much. But the stuff you lose is lost over a plate or wrapper if you arent a savage, and then you have a bonus taco salad

Also by “tækɒs” I meant the IPA pronunciation of those symbols. To me, an American, the first syllable is the word “tack” and the second syllable rhymes with “toss”. Tack-oss. He seemed dead serious and talked about everything American with contempt while also voluntarily being here (???)

Mexican food never really took off in the U.K. because Brits can't enjoy something if they didn't steal it first.

A true burrito is a hard shell dipped into ranch dressing. Nothing else.

There was a Mexican Restaurant that opened in Presque Isle, Maine back in the early 90's (probably the 1st one in the entire Aroostook County) and when I went there with my friends one had the joy of ordering a "kess-a-dill-ee-ah".
