    Comes in a pita bread (industrial quality), there's salad, onions, some parsley if you're luck and canned fucking corn. Booo!

    Normally they just pour Thousand Island dressing over it. Sometimes they have a special thousand island dressing that's been spiked with garlic or chilli.

    Edit: This is in response to Acronym Too Fucking Long.

    Canned Corn? Thousand Island Dressing?! What are they doing to you poor people?

    Try and find an authentic place. Take it with some smartly chopped cucumbers and tomatoes, a little garlic, some Tahini and Amba, and if you can, French Fries. I think you'll have to settle for industrial grade pita, but over here it's almost always freshly baked.

    I wish we had a decent mexican fast food chain in Israel. Taco Bell or whatever. The shortage of proper tacos and burritos here is appalling.

    I live like 5 minutes away from three taco bells and I wish there was decent Mexican food anywhere nearby.

    Can't even find any nice corn tortillas, and people ideas of "fajitas" is a big bowl of grilled bell pepper with a few shreds of meat thrown on like garnish.

    oh man
    corn tortillas
    I'd go fucking crazy if all we had around here were shit mexican places that served everything on flour

    tacos are always better on soft corn tortillas
    and El Puerco Lloron in Pike Place Market makes their tortillas by hand daily

    mmmm

    That's why you gotta have real mexican food. The american idea of tortillas are not actually tortillas. And Taco Bell puts so many shit into their plates that is not really mexican

    Oh and "a big bowl of grilled bell pepper with a few shreds of meat thrown on like garnish" = typical fast food tactic. Give you a lot of vegetables which are cheap and very little meat which is the main ingredient

    depending on the cuisine it may be entirely normal for there to be little meat
    so it really depends and a blanket statement like that is pretty ignorant itself

    I was talking like when McDonald's give you a hamburger and it's like 5% beef and 95% lettuce and tomato

    Of course there would be dishes that is normal to have little meat. Fajitas is not one of them

    there is only one roundabout i know of in southern california. it's on PCH, and i almost got into an accident one time. people go way too fast in it. PCH is bad times, and infested with cops. and they have that thing where you can park inside the third lane during non-rush hour. i cannot tell you how many times i have almost slammed into the back of some of those jerkoffs.

    also mango is really easy to prepare
    don't skin it first because then it's all slippery and hard to hold

    just slice pieces off of it and then pull the peel off the sliced pieces
    done

    Whenever I prepare a mango I just cut it in half, squeeze lime juice on a half, and dig it out of the skin with a spoon.

    You HAVE to slice it, though.

    For some reason it just tastes so much different to me if it's not neatly sliced? Maybe it's just psychological.

    meat centric diet is a result of meat being delicious and also domestication and raising meat being so cheap
