You've got to make it to Southern California some time in life. It
will be a great adventure.

There are many other Mexican items that make simplistic use of simple
items. They also use corn masa as the base or external structure as
with tamales, pombasos, tlacayo, sope, huarache. The last two are more
or less a bed of masa--the first is round, the second is elongated
(like a sandal; a huarache).

And so forth.

I'm wondering if my sister would like green salsa on her tacos. Too bad
I don't have a sister. OTOH, my step-mom found out she had a sister when
she went to her dad's funeral. Now she gets to find out that age-old
question about what kind of salsa her sister likes on tacos, among other
things. Some people have all the luck!

But when you specifically ask for one or the other, you know what you are
getting is different to the rest, yes?

Thanks. I make tortillas for my husband and he just rolls it up with
something he fancies as a filling.

Thanks. Have I missed any out? When I have seen these mentioned I have
gone to Google to see what they were and I found they seems all to be
tortillas which provoked my interest.

True story. She had lost her Swedish sister a few years earlier due to
cancer. Then she gets a new sister from another mother. A secret sister.
From what I hear, they are very close, or at least, as close as Swedish
people can get.

Not here. Perhaps at some fast food places. Here they are normally served
on a plate, often with sauce on top.

There are many other Mexican foods that use tortillas. One would be
Enchiladas which are corn tortillas with a filling and sauce over and baked.
Then there are all sorts of meat dishes where tortillas are on the side.
Nachos, where corn tortillas are fried into chips and topped with cheese and
other things. Chilequiles (sp?) where leftover chips are mixed with various
things and served usually for breakfast. Also flautas which are similar to
taquitos.

Me, only if there is a description on the menu. It's not stuff
that I generally order, that's why I didn't describe the rest to
you.

My favorite jar salsa is Taco Bell medium, Chi Chi medium is ok too.

Ok, thanks) It is good there is a description for all the different ones.
I suspect only a Mexican or someone who knows their food would know them
all)

There is no Taco Bell in the UK? Take a look in their web site
Ophelia:
http://www.tacobell.com/



This should give you an idea of what these foods look like in fast
food joints. Yum Brands Corporation is made up of Kentucky Fried
Chicken, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. I am shocked that they have not
moved into the UK. They must think UK people do not like Mexican Food.

I can't see any Taco Bell in Scotland but I do know that people in UK like
hot spicy food.

When you examine the Taco Bell Entrees, the difference is in the
breading...hard taco shells...soft taco shells...tortillas...very
thick soft taco shells...


stuffing with beef, chicken, pork, cheese, avocado, onions, sour
cream, lettuce, creamed pinto beans, diced tomatoes, chopped green
peppers

Some ppl actually believe the media when they claim the recession
and/or depression is over. As if......

We lost (they jes closed) both our single Burger King and combo KFC/TB
franchises last Summer. Two mom n' pop burger joints, too. This
despite a monster earnings year for the tourism industry in this
valley.

Perhaps the manteca (lard). Tamales use masa and lard in about a
50/50 ratio. Thatsa lotta lard.

No, and definitely no, respectively. It's a fine fast-food snack food.
But any decent Mexican restaurant, and many undecent, in both the US
and Mexico are *vastly* better as restaurants and as foodstuffs.

You haven't eaten enough tamales. I find them one of the most diverse
of Mexican foods; everybody joint, and everybody's Mom makes a
significantly different tamale to my thinking. There is a tradition of
making tamales on Christmas eve and many people wrap them up and give
them as presents to friends and neighbors.

I live in one of the most Mexican cities in the USA; Santa Ana,
California. You can get myriad types of regional Mexican cuisine here.
I've overlooked it for a long time, and this thread has gotten me
crazy for going back to some old haunts to eat some of this
stuff--particularly tamales and the masa-based foods!

Thanks for the reminder!

Do report back on your findings? Often realities do not live up to memories
but I really hope they do so for you

It depends on who's making them. Latino Health Access in Santa Ana
always sells vegetarian Xmas tamales and you can bet they aren't so
high in the lard department. Realy good to, for a vegetarian tamale.
