Political Tacos

[MrSquished]

You know they love Indian cooking right. Every get together, every wedding, every funeral, every office party they have to have:

Chicken tikka masala
Chicken madras
Chicken tandoori
Chicken kebab
Balti chicken
Chicken biryani
Chicken korma
Butter chicken

And fish and chips isn't even that affordable anymore thanks to Brexit.

Yes they like some Indian food, but not with heat to them.

I thought curry was required by law in all Indian dishes.

Tell me you don’t what curry means without telling me.

You know jack fucking shit!

At least I've lived overseas for more than 8 years and know the bad people really well unlike you who is a prime example of Instant Racism Topic Expert: Just add Water and Fox News!

Did you know there are more serial killers in Germany and Romania than there are in Mexico but guess which one you and Fox always rant about?

And as for Indian dishes without curry:

^I think you probably woke up on the wrong side of bed today. What do serial killers have to anything? Im going to let you have the last word since you are going 0 to 100 on your replies.

Don't forget to blow the candle out!

I grew up eating white person tacos, it was very common where I live (northern IL). There's a pretty large population of Mexican people in this area though, so it didn't take long before I started eating more authentic Mexican food, now white people tacos taste like nothing to me. I still am given midwestern style tacos occasionally even if I ask for cilantro and onion, I have a similar problem getting my dishes spicier at Thai and Indian places, they always make my wife's dish spicier than mine (she's Indian) even though she asks for it to be very mild and I ask for mine to be really spicy.

Sounds like she should order for you, and you order for her. Problem solved! 😛

As a guy from Massachusetts this is very similar to me. Ignoring the spicier part.

I see you never developed your sixth sense. Such a tragedy.

I'm pretty sure my first encounter with tacos is when Taco Bell opened in my central IL town when I was a kid. The kind of tacos Walz describes are basically just those. Eventually as more Mexicans migrated into town we got actual Mexican food but they absolutely spiced it way down for their customers. Alton Brown once did a good (with flavor) version of these tacos that we still make once in a while.

My partner worked at a Thai restaurant for a few years, the hostess definitely downgraded the spiciness level based on what she thought people could actually handle. Even then they still had people complain that a dish was too spicy sometimes.

In my travels I hooked up with a few women who would put 10 spoons full of red chili powder into their Kutiyao soup. I can handle 4 but 10 is crazy, yet even while their eyes watered they loved every bit of it and would smile at me and say delicious!

I distinctly remember being about 8 or 9 years old and my mom made crunchy shell tacos for dinner at my request. It was a notable occasion because for my dad, a Midwestern potato farmer then in his 40s, it was the first time in his life he'd ever tried a taco.

Fucking Midwestern white baby boomers...

Growing up in the 70s and 80s we had tacos on regular. We put ketchup on ours. So Kansas.

My Aunt made them regularly now keep in mind she was the coolest most glamorous woman 8 year old me could imagine. Boomer parents and we occasionally had tacos and they were similar to what’s called white people tacos. Boomer just like bland food.

This thread has reminded me to order more Carolina Reaper powder for my food.

I've got you beat, my grandfather who literally had steak and potatoes for every lunch and dinner after he got back from ww-fucking-2 had pizza for the first time when he was like 90, said it was the best thing he ever tasted.

In his defense he actually raised beef in a rural TX town, so there wasn't a plethora of pizza around, but I cannot defend his lack of variety...

After several years of eating Belaire cardboard pizza on Saturday night. My dad stuck $20 in my hand and a coupon for a Pizza Hut Pizza ( I had just recently gotten my drivers license). I almost fell over backwards. Two amazing things at once. Sort of real pizza, and food not from the house.

My wife loves the thai chili's.. I can take it if its diluted in the sauce/ gravy but not one straight up. But I've graduated to where I can totally eat cayenne and jalapenos.. generally add 2 of those to my omelettes. And Sriracha hot sauce isn't so hot for me.

When I was 12 I ate one of those raw at my friend's house (he's from Thailand) thinking it would be no big deal because I loved jalapenos. Was in pain for about 30 minutes. Now I can pop them like Jujubees and only raw habanero or worse seems all that hot to me, but those Thai chiles don't fck around when you're not used to heat.

When I order curry at a Thai restaurant I always tell my waiter to pretend I'm Thai and ordered it extra spicy and it has always worked. Though one time I had the owner come confirm my order and then watch to see if I'd send back the curry that I ordered 'double Thai hot.' Told her it was perfect lol.
