Have you had jugged kippers? With a nice beer and a good bread, it's brilliant.

Yes because Americans are fat-assed buffoons and your deep-fried obsessions are a major plus.

Besides, most of those dumb****s think they will see the Loch Ness monster. LOL

I'm sure Julie will cut in and tell about how she is allergic to Scotland now.

Well if they don't, they should try them. Tacos are pretty damn good,

As has been pointed out ad nauseam, there are many regional styles of
Mexican cooking; Veracruzan and Oaxacan being just two of them. Tex-Mex
derives from the cooking brought by immigrants from Sonora, a somewhat
impoverished state of Mexico bordering Texas.

Truly. How can someone who has never been to Mexico unequivocally state
there are taco stands "all over Mexico"? Some nitwit probably told her so.

My neighbor went to Mexico with some friends a couple of years ago. I
don't remember the area but it wasn't a "tourist" destination (i.e.
caters to Americans). One of the women has a vacation home somewhere
down there and they stayed in her house. My neighbor is from Minnesota.
She had a preconceived notion about "Mexican" food. She said she was
*amazed* at the variety of seafood, fresh fruits and vegetables. Nary a
taco in sight, soft or otherwise. Warm tortillas sometimes accompanied
a meal, sure, much like bread in US restaurants. They weren't for
making tacos.

No. Gary has ferrets. I was figuring that cigarettes and ferrets both

Probably the missing Bove cat has reached Mexico, and is counting
taco stands and channelling the news back home via the pet psychic.

What!? You ppl think "taco" is a corporate fabrication, like Spam or
Velveeta? You think a corn tortilla never got wrapped around some
meat until Taco Bell said it was OK? This is the dumbest argument

It's not an argument, nb. I've never been to Mexico, don't claim to.
But I have talked with people (in person) who have been to different
parts of Mexico. The food in no way resembled Taco Bell fare.

Julie, this is the first time I have agreed with you in maybe forever.

If you like it and your family likes it, it doesn't have to have a name
or ethnicity. Make it, eat it, and don't worry what the food "experts"

I'm also T2 and have been for quite a few years. I've been reading
Julie's posts in alt.support.diabetes for a long time. Please don't
take her posts as gospel. She's got a lot of opinions that aren't
necessarily those of mainstream medical care.

I'd suggest you read alt.support.diabetes for real diverse and usually
very helpful discussions about diabetes.

No, I'm simply trying to point out another source of information for you
to add to your arsenal. ASD has been around for a very long time and
will offer info from all kinds of sources, including Julie. Almost all,
if not all, are diabetics and I've found the varying source of info to
be very valuable.

You obviously know how to use usenet so finding and subscribing to ASD
should be easy for you.

If you choose to learn from one source, so be it.

I prefer regular bacon, and I think most Canadians prefer regular bacon. I haven't had back bacon for years. Same with poutine. To make a proper poutine, you need to have very fresh cheese curds, and a proper gravy. The lower end restaurants(fast food places)do not bother with doing it properly.

Long ago, a friend made some excellent English Toffee and told me the reason it was so good was that it was made with Canadian butter. She had a brother who lived in Vancouver and he would mail it, yes, mail it.

So, on our next trip to Canada I bought some and tried it. It truly did make a nice English Toffee. However, I knew that I wouldn't have a steady supply so I attempted it with our butters here. I used various combinations and I believe, I can't quite remember, it was 1/2 challenge salted and 1/2 unsalted that came very close. Now, my sister makes it with all Challenge regular salted and it is just fine.

Just goes to show you, some things are not as complicated as all that. Lesson learned.

They do. I looked this up. Said that tacos are not normally eaten as the
main meal though and often eaten for breakfast. They eat refritos too.

I do like food history. And also fashion history and yes some other things
get dragged into that like wars and rationing but... I just can't get into
picking apart the dates of various wars and who did what. Or anything
having to do with when whatever county became a country or state became a
state or things like that. I know some people are into that. Not me.

I have seen cooking shows about Mexico. The owner of a Mexican place where
we dine now as well as one where we used to dine are from Mexico. I talk to
them. I talk to them about food! And I have the Internet. It agrees with
me. Tacos are street food.

But as soon as you put something in a warm tortilla, it's a taco!

Huh? You *do* know that a taco stand is nothing like Taco Bell. Right?
And *I* am the one who said that they sell street tacos in Mexico. Not hard
shelled, not soft. I even described them.

Hardly diverse. Most there are low carbers. If you're not a low carber,

She just likes to get on my case all of the time. Has been ever since she

differences but she is most intolerant to things that don't agree with her
philosophies and such.
