Hard and soft tacos? How accommodating.

[–] gentooer 10 points 5 months ago (5 children)

Are hard tacos actually nice to eat? Whenever I see them in movies and such, it seems like the tortilla would just shatter the moment you bite into it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

It's like a tortilla made of a giant cornchip. Breakage can be an issue but they don't explode like glass or anything.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Soft tacos are easier to eat but you can't get Doritos crunchy taco shells as a soft taco

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Have you ever had a tostada?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

That's just toast in Spanish, it's not a specific meal or anything.

No, they’re not. Unless you like making messes. Then they’re right up your alley.

Why not both indeed.

Crunch wraps!

Doesn't even have to be dinner

Without paying much attention or zooming in I could tell this was Dutch. Then I saw the white chair, the cheese and de Ruijter.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

The white chair is TripTrap made by Stokke (At least the original design, guess it's been pirated by other makers) This could have been any Nordic country as well apart from the details ofc :) I blame IKEA for that

So the Norwegian Forest Cat is sitting on the Norwegian children chair :)

Edit. Think it might be a siberian actually...

They're Maine Coons actually! Brother and sister.

The dealbreaker for me is that a nordic home would never have pre-sliced cheese on the table but rather a big block of cheese and a cheese slicer.

Tuxedo Batman is so polite, and cute.

10/10 deserves dinner.

Literally just finished eating White People Tacos... so good. The cat is the only creature there with any taste.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Does the colour of the skin of the ingredients really affect the taste?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

White people tacos refers to a specific way of making tacos, which has little to do with any Mexican recipe. It's named that way because it's usually eaten by white people.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

And it mf slaps frfr

Where is dinner at? I will be there for taco night every time.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 months ago (1 children)

And on Taco Night no less‽

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I am so gratified to learn that others use this term, too. Ain’t nothing wrong with some hamburger meat in a large tortilla chip with cheddar cheese, but it is most definitely not the same food item as you get from a taco joint. This is one of those home cooking exclusives.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (5 children)

People shit on these tacos but it's a way better use of ground beef than fucking manwich or hamburger helper or meatloaf, or anything else besides burgers.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

TIL about manwich and hamburger helper, those look disgusting indeed. Only similar thing we had is Pasta carbonara in bag which was not to bad actually if you add your own veggies.

Damn I would have eaten that whole spread growing up. Late for dinner? more like foods gone

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago

taco cat is taco cat spelled backwards

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (3 children)

I know the seasoning packets say to drain the fat from the hamburger after browning, but it always leaves it so dry. I never drain the fat out or add water and I let it all marinate for at least an hour before serving. It's so, so much better.

I thought it was weird my SO grandma's cat ate at the table with us but I guess it's not unusual.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

White people taco niiiiiight!!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

Figures a tuxedo cat would have class

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

Ay yo white people taco night? Where you at, I'm flyin in

The cat's just sitting there like "the cheeese tax, the cheeese tax"

Next taco night, add a bit of water to your sour cream to make it a little bit runny. Then add a bit of salt, some lime juice and smoked paprika. Is nice.

[–] gentooer 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This is why I prefer low-fat sour cream for burritos and tacos, it's a little runnier. I just throw some finely diced shallots in there and leave it for some time in the fridge.
