Homie… you aren’t really doing yourself any favors with the “racist” allegations. But let’s break this down a bit.
“French fries”, at least in their most “traditional” form ARE “French”… in the sense that they are frenched. It is a loaded term that mostly relates to making food more aesthetically pleasing. But, with regards to vegetables, it is commonly used to refer to cutting food into long strips. Sound familiar? Julienne cuts/matchsticks are related but folk have Thoughts on the differences.
So yes, “french fries” are “French” in the sense that they are “frenched potatoes that are subsequently fried”. Steak Fries break this but Steak Fries are a war crime 99/100 times (but holy shit are they amazing when cooked properly).
And Taco Bell gives you the shits because it’s fairly poor quality,
Sorry, what do you mean by that? Well, let’s face it, we all know what you mean by that. But let’s move on.
Tacos and burritos do indeed have a lot of legacy with “poor people food” since they are essentially Mexican(-ish) sandwiches. It is protein, maybe some veg, and filler wrapped in something you can hold in your hand. And, the “filler” is the key there. Since the common protein has, historically, been beans of some form. Because they are dirt cheap, store really well, and are an AMAZING vessel for flavor (as detailed in the other branch).
Which gets back to… beans are high in fiber. Fiber really helps to regulate bodily functions. And people don’t realize just how irregular their bodily functions are.
And to roll back to the start: Taco Bell IS actually “Mexican” food in the same sense that Chinese restaraunts are “Chinese fod”. No, they are not 100% authentic but they are instead taking a cultural food and adapting it to available ingredients and regional preferences. And American Chinese or British Chinese (shockingly awesome) are just as “Chinese” as Cantonese or Yunnan Chinese food. They are regional variants based on available ingredients. Okay, Canadian Chinese food can suck a butt but I will never turn down that styrofoam plate of nonsense.
But hey, keep on showing dat ass. It makes for a good learning experience for the rest of us.
Do you… seriously think you’ve found a “gotcha” moment…? What even is this diatribe? You’re jumping to conclusions that are in a different goddamn timezone.
I mean that Taco Bell is ass-tier Mexican, and it’s very easy to find better quality Mexican food. And solid Mexican food is delicious. Excellent Mexican food (and Chinese, and… well, seriously, name any cuisine) is one of the few things I miss about living in Los Angeles.
