First, get up really early in the morning and drive down to the
slaughterhouse.

That way, you can beat the cat food buyers to the trash meat.

Second, get ahold of the Ortiz cookbooks, and learn about Latin
American and Mexican cooking.

You are asking for the world without offering a reason why. Tacos de cabeza
and lengua requires a process from slaughtering the four legged animal to
feeding the two legged one and everything in between.

Please be more specific.

Do you know what a corn tortilla is? The single most important element of
any taco?

Go from there.

I think he's just anal.

If you are serious and not just looking for a fight, I can give you a simple
recipe for barbacoa and lengua.

Find yourself some cheek meat, marinate a while in a bottled criollo sauce,
cook it low and slow, and put it in a corn tortilla with some quesa fresca.

The Lengua is a different story.

Why go through all that effort? Just hear a can of cat food, put it in
a pre-bent taco tortilla, squirt some El Patio on it, and sprinkle some
lettuce and cheeze on it.

Yummy! And you can buy it all on food stamps or WIC.

The barbacoa I ate last week in Cosala' was as good as any food I've
eaten in Mexico (except for the mole' at the same meal). I would say
it was well worth the effort, but I wasn't the one who dug the pit in
the ground, filled it with coals (wood chunks), put the meat in there,
covered it up and dug it out hours later. I was merely the one who ate
it, gratefully.

I should be ashamed of myself for flaming the guy who wants to go
through a lot of effort
to make tacos (but I'm not).

I found a bunch of packaged Mexican-style ground beef at the local 99
Cents Only store, and I bought all they had. The check out clerk asked
if I was going camping, and I said, "No, I'll make tacos with this
stuff." It's in my freezer now...

Yes, traditionally-prepared barbacoa certainly sounds delicious. But
I'd be willing to bet I could duplicate the texture and flavor in an
oven roasting bag at home.

Pencas de maguey have been replaced by plastic...

Like Jack Sloan, I would like a piece of that bet whenever you are
ready to be judged in a taste test by a jury of your peers. Next,
maybe you can try to beat cooking a ribeye over charcoal by zapping it
in your microwave. I'm in on that one, too.

And you are a stupid twat. Why don't you just piss the hell off?
