Don't sweat the small stuff... there's nothing Mexican about crispy
taco shells, it's strictly a relatively recent American invention,
that can be filled with anything one dreams up... I don't like them,
it's like eating from an edible paper plate.

Sheldon I am interested in most types of cooking which is why I ask the
questions. No one is forced to respond.

Thanks for you opinion on them though.

They are great for lazy people who have no ambition to cook real
food and wash real dishes. I sure wouldn't want to eat them every
freakin' day...certainly not a treat by any means.

As if.....

These are all gringo affectations. Authentic tacos are very
different. Picture two small corn tortillas, deep/pan fried in lard
until pliable, then paired together and folded, then filled with a
prepared meat such as cabeza, carnitas, birria, etc, and topped with
finely chopped onion and cilantro. None of that burger meat, cheese,
iceberg, and tomatoes nonsense. Gringos call them "soft" tacos.
Mexicans call them tacos.

Granted, these are NorCal-style Mexican tacos, but they are more
authentic than those hard/crispy pre-formed corn taco shells filled
with Taco Bell ingredients. One thing is sure, I've never EVER seen
any taco made with a flour tortilla.

That's probably what you do, add scotch bonnet to canned sloppy joe...
there's absolutely no rule that says chili must be fiery hot. I make
chili often because it's an very easy one pot dish, and freezes well
so I make a lot. I've no desire to send my guests to a proctologist
so I add very little heat but I supply plenty of hot pepper for folks
to add to their individual taste... sounds like you're one of those
control freaks who also salts food for guests to your taste. The only
reason for chili to be prepared fiery hot is to hide the fact that
it's lousy chili made with crappy mystery ingredients... I don't use
preground mystery meat, I grind my own. I've attended a few chili
cook offs, every one made with preground mystery meat. They are
mainly judged on who's is hottest, that's an imbecile's cook off for
who's got the most advanced TIAD. I've prepared chili for lots of
chiliheads, everyone prefered mine to any they've ever eaten before,
and even before they tasted it they said they knew it would be good
just from the aroma and its appearance... you'll find my recipe in the
RFC Cookbook... I prepare chili with beans and without, I prefer with
black beans but sometimes dark red kidney, I never cared for pinto
beans, they've no real flavor and have an off putting slimey texture.
Here's mine, show us yours, if you da

that's a sweeping and disparaging comment. I consider Mexican food
real food. Mexican food is not about taco shells.

I don't like corn chips either, they are analogious to Pringles...
when I want chips I want real potato chips, not fakes formed from
ground paste. Corn chips are no different from cheese doodles, in
fact nachos made with cheese doodles are far better than those made
with corn chips. Nachos is not Mexican food either, it's TEX-mex...
no self respecting Mexican would eat nachos.

Tacos are filled tortillas. There's nothing distinguishing tortillas used for
tacos from tortillas used for enchiladas, flautas or chimichangas.
Theoretically, you're correct, anything folded into a tortilla can be
considered a taco and is often referred to as such by Mexicans in casual
conversation. But of course, a tortilla filled with a hotdog, mustard and
relish would make a pretty inauthentic taco. Just consider what would comprise
a typical sandwich.

Never mind. You come on over and I will fix you a taco salad.

In a certain sense: ground meat spiced with cumin, oregano and chiles, shredded
lettuce and tomatoes, shaved carrots, chopped onions and jalapeños.

I have *never* seen carrots in a taco salad unless it was at a restaurant
that only has the American mix of lettuce, purple cabbage and carrot shreds.
Most just use shredded lettuce.

Ah... the tricky "authenticity". Mostly I look for good taste. Still
it is helpful when words and the names of dishes have more in common
than not.

That's what this taco calls a taco.

They're dead-center of what typifies SoCal-style Mexican tacos too.

I've stopped apologizing for liking Taco Bell-style tacos, but I don't
pretend they are anything but drive-through junk food. There oughta be
a better name than "Taco Bell-type tacos) for the crispy-shell
seasoned-burger, fake cheese and lettuce variety of taco. I've had
more feasible versions of this in "big plate" Mexican-ish chain
restaurants (e.g. El Torito, El Chico, et al), where they weren't junk
food, just a variation on a "real taco".

I have nothing to do with either canned sloppy joes or sctotch bonnet
peppers, period.

I never intimated there was.

But the 3 and 4 alarm chilli crowd would.

I produce proper results per recipe instructions.

Salting other peoples' food is a great way to never see them again.

So you agree that in the chilli community there is a heat standard.

So noted.

You contradicted yourself within a single post.

"...there's absolutely no rule that says chili must be fiery hot."

Looks like there is, unwritten or not.

OMG!

You gutted him and then cooked the dwarf's sweetbreads?

(itsa joke)

That is a fine looking bowl of "chilli" by anyone's measure!

I've yet to see you post a loser here.
