The Two Taco Rule
May 9th, 2007 by Brian
Long ago I devised a one-question survey that characterizes a person’s eating habits.
What do you do if two tacos are not enough food and three tacos are too much food?
The question is more complicated than it looks due to the indivisible nature of the taco. Sure, you could eat half a taco but you would end up throwing the other half out and wasting food. You certainly can’t buy half a taco. If you tried, the guys at the taqueria would call you a dumb gringo and laugh at you until you retreat to Subway where you apparently belong.
Answer it!
buy taco #3, eat half, save the other half for breakfast the next morning!
You can’t save half a taco. If it’s a soft shell it gets stale and if it’s a hard shell it gets soft.
Well, at the taqueria I like to go to, a little trailer across from the courthouse in downtown Houston (for jury duty)… there are a TON of pigeons around. I eat what I want and give the rest to the pigeons… works out fer all of us.
You can save a soft shell: you microwave it with a damp paper towel over it- brings it back to life, not good as new, but good enough.
I learned that shell trick from “Good Eats” some time after I made this post.
Good Eats is the only show on Food Network that does not suck.
