Taco Bell time

It's been a good long time since I went for fake Messican [:D]. And I don't wanna cook. And it's also my last Sunday of Staycation 2. I didn't do fuffin. With that theme I'm gonna get a box of crunchy tacos. While out I better get a Power Ball ticket. I'd hate to miss out.

    One time a Mexican co-worker asked me if I liked Mexican food. I said, "I don't know, I've never been to Mexico."

    He looked at me kinda weird. I told him I've been to the far east I know that what passes for Chinese food here isn't anything at all like what they actually eat so I was pretty sure Taco Bell has about the same resemblance to Mexican food.

    Yep, I lived in Mexico for six months while I was down there working on a Mormon temple. The Mexican food you get in the United States is not Mexican at all.

    That's because they eat anything and everything!

    Now I don't eat breakfast, never have. A good friend of mine Elisio invited me to eat breakfast with his wife one morning and i told him that I couldn't. He said that it would insult his wife if I didn't. I went in and was served stuff that I couldn't identify and besides being hot, had a bland taste.

    He would never tell me what I ate!

    I think they changed their "formula" on their taco "meat". It wasn't as soupy as before and I believe it had less soy textured substance or gristle. Kind a liked the way it used to be.

    Also now it's a 12 pack instead of 10. It was $16 with tax and I believe this will be the last time I go. Since on Tuesdays I can go get a large combo from Mountain Mike's for less than I spent for 12 tacos.

    Well I hoped you enjoy it. I kinda like what ever they call a crunchy Taco, but then again I like Big Mac's.

    I saw a news report a couple of years ago that said the meat that Taco Bell uses in their food was just one level above the designation of pet food, that sort of cured me from going there again.

    I like TB but it makes my gut feel funny within 20 minutes. Then I feel like crap for about two hours.

    The Crave Box is a cheap belly filler, but at what cost? Rather spend twice for food I can identify.

    Do yourself a favor, instead of buying that power ball ticket get some pepto bismol instead. [;)]

    interstatepawnllc - Nah. I'm just a big boy. Besides it's mostly lettus [:D].

    armilite - Not really. Mostly disappointed.

    bullshot - I don't remember the "grade" but I recall there was discrepancy of "percentage".

    Sperry - Don't know The Crave Guys but I got an In And Out that gives me the similar symptoms you get from Taco Bell. Twice at different I&O and twice my butt was an upside down volcano. This was way before my gallbladder removal. I suppose it wouldn't make a squirt of a difference now as long as I am close to the head [:D].

    Hunter Mag - Pepto would only ease me for a day but winning the Power Ball my short life will be of ease.

    I first ate Taco Bell tacos in California which is the only place they existed at that time, they were .35 cents and damn good, must have eaten a million of them back then.
    I love tacos just not theirs.

    Taco Bell's $5 Cravings Deal. All the cravings one person can handle, just five dollars.

    No poo poo issues, just a funny gut. I eats lots of hummus, raw veggies. Ver little prepared food.

    Five Guys is the local burger go-to chain. Fresh.

    Wednesday I'm grilling burgers for my folks and brother's kids, so I's holding back this week.

    Dude I'm in California and town over is Salinas. For the folks that don't know Salinas it's basically Mexico. So I got plenty of "real" Mexican eats.

    I went to taco bell today in La Grande Oregon. I got the worst Berito supreme I ever ate. It was cold besides. That's right, not even hot.
    No mo for me.
