I LOVE TACOS!!!

Namaste and welcome once again my friends, family, and fellow knowledge seekers to another posting for the Quiet Mouse Strikes Back. This blog is R rated and is for ADULTS ONLY, despite the subject matter.

Everyone has their own personal tastes and likes in this world. That is your prerogative. I grew up in the south, not so deep and dirty south like Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, or the Carolinas, but from the south nonetheless. Southern cooking is a combination of many styles of cuisine that are as unique as the immigrants that populated the lands. The Spanish, French, and German cuisines, among others, significantly influenced the culinary arts across the nation, but had a vital role in the cuisine of the South.
Americans are an amalgamation of many various cultures and our culinary fusion of these culture's foods became an American icon in foods like pizza, chicken fried steak, burgers, and tacos.
The American way of cooking is a slightly bastardized version of the home country's cuisine, as again, the various cultural influences have created a hybrid fusion.

Now the point of this article is the amazing cuisine known as TACOS. Now, Deadpool might like his chimi-fucking-changas, but I myself am amazed at the variety and imagination that has gone into making the far-from-simple taco into an American icon.
Start with the shell. This may be a soft four or corn tortilla, or a hard, crispy fried corn shell to be stuffed with goodness.
Next we have the meat. Pork carnitas, chicken (shredded or diced), ground beef, barbacoa, shrimps, and fried fish are all common place in tacos. With the fusion of other cultures, I've even seen Asian style tacos recently at a food truck locally. I even saw my kids watching I-Carly on t.v. where they made spaghetti tacos. Just shows the versatility of the ever cravable taco.
After the meat and shell there are soooooo many toppings to add, including but not limited to, lettuce, tomato, onions, cilantro, various cheeses, sour cream, guacamole/avocado, pico de gallo, etc. Sometimes the biggest difficulty is getting all the toppings into the taco shell.
Some folks prefer the soft taco over the crispy taco... and that's okay; there are pros and cons to both sides. Tortillas rip and leak out salsa or taco sauce.

Hard shells make you eat funny because you have to turn your neck to avoid taco spillage. There is indeed a special technique to keep taco fillings off of your clothing. Some prefer the simple neck tilt, others prefer the New England style of eating standing up, legs slightly spread, leaned forward to get maximized food into mouth with minimal spillage.

The simple joys in life like sex, music, and tacos can bridge any and all cultural gaps. The flavor profile is spot on to appease any and all appetites. They are very affordable to  make and there are as many variations to this diverse creation as there are people making them.

No matter how you like your tacos: crunchy, soft, meat, or veggie there is an endless flavor variety of ways to combine your favorite ingredients into a flavor explosion in your mouth.

This has been the one and only Quiet Mouse.
Peace. Love. Respect. TACOS.
