Taco Tuesday Tom
And on Taco Night no less‽
A white people taco night no less…
I am so gratified to learn that others use this term, too. Ain’t nothing wrong with some hamburger meat in a large tortilla chip with cheddar cheese, but it is most definitely not the same food item as you get from a taco joint. This is one of those home cooking exclusives.
People shit on these tacos but it’s a way better use of ground beef than fucking manwich or hamburger helper or meatloaf, or anything else besides burgers.
Don’t you slander sloppy Joe like that.
Yeah that’s a good point. We make some pretty gourmet meatloaf at my house so I might quibble with you on that one. But I am sure there’s some awful meatloaf out there too. Manwch is just… I can’t even. Isn’t it basically dog food you put on bread and call it a sandwich?
Manwich is a canned sauce you add to hamburger, it’s roughly BBQ flavored in nature.
TIL about manwich and hamburger helper, those look disgusting indeed. Only similar thing we had is which was not to bad actually if you add your own veggies.
I was going to comment the same excitement to someone else who used it above but couldn’t think of a good way to phrase it without sounding mildly bigoted.
That just means your family eats child or reheated food or goes to bed hungry.
That just means your family eats child
Ok.
Damn I would have eaten that whole spread growing up. Late for dinner? more like foods gone
Doesn’t even have to be dinner
Without paying much attention or zooming in I could tell this was Dutch. Then I saw the white chair, the cheese and de Ruijter.
Well spotted!
The white chair is TripTrap made by Stokke (At least the original design, guess it’s been pirated by other makers) This could have been any Nordic country as well apart from the details ofc :) I blame IKEA for that
So the Norwegian Forest Cat is sitting on the Norwegian children chair :)
Edit. Think it might be a siberian actually…
They’re Maine Coons actually! Brother and sister.
How many toes do they got?
I must know!
Sorry, just 4 at the end of the paw.
I’m not entirely sure. But, one thing is for certain, Salad Fingers likes rusty spoons.
Is there some kind of reference to this that I accidentally made? I was asking an honest question because Maine Coons tend to have extra toes (polydactyl).
No.
I’m sorry for interjecting such a random reference into the conversation, but it just popped into my head right then. And I’m weird so…
Edit: my friend has a Maine Coon. I’ll ask if it’s a polydactyl. Interesting that it has that genetic trait.
The dealbreaker for me is that a nordic home would never have pre-sliced cheese on the table but rather a big block of cheese and a cheese slicer.
In the Netherlands we have both. It just depends on how lazy you are.
Pre-sliced is fairly popular in Scandinavian homes now
Well, there’s always some people with no self-respect, but they’re hardly the norm.
We’ve switched back and forth between pre sliced and blocks. But stayed with blocks after watching an episode of “Keuringsdienst van waarde” where you see how much un-cheese presliced cheese actually is.
Too lazy to slice, in Norway it seems to be the majority
Ay yo white people taco night? Where you at, I’m flyin in
Where is dinner at? I will be there for taco night every time.
meow?
Twist: OP lives alone with his cat
Where tomatoes?
Hey, they were invited. Didn’t show up I guess.
Literally just finished eating White People Tacos… so good. The cat is the only creature there with any taste.
Does the colour of the skin of the ingredients really affect the taste?
wat
White people tacos refers to a specific way of making tacos, which has little to do with any Mexican recipe. It’s named that way because it’s usually eaten by white people.
And it mf slaps frfr
It’s a white people taco night
A white people taco night
It’s not limited to only white people
But white people love it the most
I know the seasoning packets say to drain the fat from the hamburger after browning, but it always leaves it so dry. I never drain the fat out or add water and I let it all marinate for at least an hour before serving. It’s so, so much better.
Yeah, just leave it and serve it with a slotted spoon.
My issue is that the leftovers become really dry. I’ve started adding 20g of tomato paste, which is about 1/6th of a 6oz can, and that keeps it moist.
You can freeze the rest of the can into smaller chunks that you can take out when needed.
Depends on the how lean of a mix you use too. I use fattier ground beef for tacos (80:20 lean to fat) and drain the fat after browning. I find that with that ratio draining doesn’t dry out the beef at all. The other key I’ve found is to cover the serving dish with the beef, while it’s sitting between being scooped for servings. Seems to dry out much faster if left exposed to open air
What’s the green stuff and the red stuff?
I think it’s lettuce and cherry tomatoes.
Noo! OP tell me the green stuff is cilantro.
Shredded iceberg as gawd intended.
Looks like shredded lettuce and red and yellow tomatoes
It looks like broccoli and potatoes but it’s probably cilantro and… potatoes?
taco cat is taco cat spelled backwards
