Well this post is dedicated to the wonderful invention of tacos. Tacos is the one food in Mexico you can basically get 24 hours. Mexicans believe it even prevents hangovers hence the eating of tacos at 4 in the morning. Drunk people eating tacos should be recorded and put on youtube but I'm not waiting up till 4 in the morning. So basically on any given night when the question of 'What will we cook for dinner' lingers with no answer forthcoming, just say Tacos. Now in Mexico don't even think about hard shells and if you're going to be true to the taco god you have to have it on corn tortillas. They make them fresh which just can't be beat. For some reason a main ingredient to making great corn tortillas is a Mexican Senora with rosy cheeks, a white hairnet type of cloth do-rag tied over the forehead, and the ability to slap some sense into anyone who needs it. Then there's the meat. I stick to what I know: carne asada, arranchera, and chorizo (mexican pork sausage). I haven't ever had the nerve to venture into other parts of the cow that frankly I believe shouldn't be eaten. Tongue is the next most popular, from there I pretend the rest doesn't exist and that all meat comes from the supermarket. Eyes, brains, intestine, and penis just shouldn't be considered meat for tacos. Just to be fair my convictions are international as Rocky Mountain Oysters (cow testicles), which are eaten in the states, is something I would only eat on Fear Factor or the Amazing Race. Anywho... if you come to Mexico be assured you will partake at the charcoal altar of blessed tacos.


Yum!! I could live on tacos!
