What the fuck is “taco” in English?
Probably something like a “ground beef, cheese, tomato and lettuce flatbread sandwich with a drizzle of tomato based sauce.” Which is folded like a taco and looks exactly like a taco, but is definitely not a taco.
FREEDOM FOLD!
Freedom Flaps
That’s a soft taco.
With one big bean at the top end.
They’d never find it.
“Tortitious sandwich with beef”
bread
Someone’s got it
She probably wanted a taco
I would like to go to bread bell to purchase a little donkey
Sandwich
Vagina
Verde sauce? Not in my country. That’s green sauce!
I don’t speak Spanish, but based on the absolutely tiny bit I do know, would this mean quesadillas would become “little cheesies”?
Two spicy little donkeys with everything, three light meals for the boys, and a little cheesy for my wife, please.
Cancel that cheesy, she wants a little sash
little donkeys = burritos
cheesy = quesadilla
light meal? Livianos?
So, apparently it comes from “quesada” which was a form of cheesecake, and the “illa” diminutive ending. Over time it has come to mean a fried tortilla with cheese and other fillings… except…
In Mexico City, quesadillas don’t necessarily have cheese in them. The rest of the country makes fun of them for it. But, if you’re ever in Mexico City and want a nice cheesy quesadilla, be sure to order a “quesadilla con queso”.
Damn it, now I’m hungry.
Even better, gorditas literally translate to little fat girls i believe (but maybe I’m wrong). Tbf, we have a processed sausage-alike that we call a hot dog so language and our perception of it is weird
It’s grammatical gender so it has nothing to do with girls, but it could in the right context. 😅
You laugh but the Quebec government attempted to fine an Italian restaurant for having the names of their dishes in Italian, many of which have no French name.
The Canadian government is pretty weird about that aren’t they?
Quebec government, specifically. Other provinces only require government services to be provided in both French and English but private businesses can mostly do what they want. Quebec requires private business to be conducted in French unless the customer requests service in a different language. Any non-French text or speech made to a customer before they request it can be seen as a violation. They can be a little overzealous at times.
What’s the menu like for Indian restaurants in Quebec? Are there French names for Biryani, Paratha, Paneer etc?
At a certain point I have to assume they just slap a bunch of "le"s on and call it a day
Damn, I’ve heard jokes about quebecios being snobby with their French but that seems excessive.
Which makes it all the more hilarious that the French people I know have joked about Quebec speaking “garbage French”
There are certainly stories of overzealous enforcement, but the context of Loi 101 and its amendments is worth considering.
Québecois is really interesting. It has a lot of old, outdated French in it due to the colonial connection with France being severed hundreds of years ago, where it evolved distinctly and the locals made different decisions on what to change and how to adapt to new concepts.
One could argue the French government has been obsessive about policing language much longer with the académie française.
The U.S. government announces that four more words will no longer be permitted for use within scientific documents: Taco, Burrito, Quesadilla and Fajita.
They’d deport the Taco Bell dog if it was still alive.
Man I forgot how much I loved seeing him in commercials as a kid 🥹

In " Mexican "…

Baltimore blast sounds like a designer version of naloxone
He [Tom Homan] was appointed by President Barack Obama as Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s executive associate director of enforcement and removal operations in 2013.
In 2015, Obama awarded him a Presidential Rank Award as a Distinguished Executive. A Washington Post article at the time stated, “Thomas Homan deports people. And he’s really good at it.”
when people look back, they never voted for Nixon, and Obama was a sainted figure, you should not be downvoted for pointing out the truth…Obama was a politiician who sold progressive and served middle-of-the-road…
And yet, Obama was still the most progressive president of my lifetime. Which tells quite the story about American politics.
yeah, we are the petri dish for all ideas, the bloodbath of capitalism shown for the world…
At this point, I’m not completely sure that this administration has really only appointed the most qualified people for those cabinet positions.
Kakistocracy is the word
Yeah… weird isn’t it Homan… 👽
considering that english already has a bunch of loan words from spanish that are considered “english”, they same should probably apply to taco bell menu… So are they really “spanish” words in that sense?
To be fair to this racist moron, there is a difference between mainland spanish and latin american spanish. To be clear I am not justifying his dumbass comment in any way.
Edit: This is just about calling the language “mexican”
“Mexican”
¡ES ESPAÑOL, MAMAGUEVO!
