Post by Jack TylerPost by The Galloping GourmandWhy 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.
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...
Post by Jack TylerThe 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.
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.
