I don't understand Mexican cuisine. Why do they need a million words for "a combination of beef/beans cheese and veggies on a tortillia?"

Same reason Italians need a million words to describe different shapes of noodle.

My ex does a turkey with mole poblano every Christmas, and then we trade leftovers, nom nom!

On occasion, I see or hear of an event that screams "America" to me.  This burrito fiasco was one of these things. 
I know the burritos you speak of.  Limp, tepid, and lacking theflavor of a proper food, this if what America OFFERS.  It's a half attempted, placating, "Here, this is sort of like that stuff you like! Have this, you MSUT like it too!"

America will not  offer you anything good, it must be seized, won, and hewed with bloody viking abandon from the deathgrip hands of what has it.  I'd love to be able to order a hot dog or a coffee without brandishing a pinless frag grenade, but this not the way of things.  The offering is half - attempted band -aid to placate the percentage that might accept it. 

That dude who offered it?  An unlucky mortal who was chanlling the God of Halfass Offerings.  Should be more careful what he lets possess him.  Your dropping the harsh on him was a social service, since reality oppenign a postulant hole int eh very ground beneath him and sucking him screaming into a life of regret would not have been appropriate.  Don't mess around with other people's food.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

Noodle shape is a very important subject.  Some like certain shapes, but consider others heresy, depending on how they are prepared and what they are being served with.  A large vocabulary to describe this is necessary.

I haven't found any noodle I don't like, if they're with the right stuff.

Really, he's just lucky you didn't give him his burrito the other way.

It was burrito day again... people eating that slop they call a burrito at my school looks like shit... no kidding, just cut one of those suckers up and it's nothing but beans and stuff that suspiciously looks like a fat man's recent bowl movements.  :wink:
