The Taco Bell appreciation thread (formerly: Blogs are going away - Get them while they're hot!)

And here I was just going to say that I wish Taco Bell would trim their menu down...

I like the dumb commercial for it. I told my boyfriend I wanted to try that out one day. I'm a reh-tard.

im impressed... i read two whole pages of this thread, and i only saw one person make any kind of mention of using the blog system to circumvent the workshop's pay to play scenario. given the amount of people i saw doing that, i would have expected a lot more crybaby bullshit akin to the last time i said dashboard confessional sucked

I think we all just got wrapped up in Taco Bell.

And we need to stop talking about Taco Bell because every time I look at this thread, I start to crave it.

Craving Taco Bell is like craving a herpes flare-up. Yet, sometimes you miss that burning sensation.

man, looks like i've missed some interesting stuff.

I had my first Taco Bell three days ago. It wasn't very good.

Phil, that's because its dog meat.

I really wanna make fajitas now.

oh mah god. jaz, when did you get a boyfriend ?

i dont mean that as a diss, youre a badass. clearly. im just saying that's fucking cool and i didnt know

haha no offense taken. Our relationship is close to hitting the year mark. I broke my 4 month record about 4 months ago though, so yay me! hahaha

So taco bell yeah? Mmm

Were you expecting it to be good?
I dont thing anyone ever thinks Taco Bell is good, satisfying in that gross shit your brains out regret living sort of way, but not good.

Man, I don't pop in for a while and look what happens.

I signed up for the workshop but still planned to use my blog. Sorry to see it go even if I get why staff is giving it the can. Interested to see what they have in mind to replace it; can't figure out what it could be.

maybe a VLOG!!!

My bet is either a dating feature or a "hot or not" picture section. make it happen!

Or maybe we're thinking about an easy "Create Your Own Taco" feature. It's gonna be rad. Every topping you can think of will be available.

Get ready for Culto Bell!

bring on the Koala Tostada!

Almost had a relapse and got Taco Bell yesterday, but dont worry i stayed on the wagon. My bowels thanked me.
Although the one Mexican joint i live by makes the best food. The owners know me and they dont even have to ask what i want, they just ask how many. Last week they maid me a deep fried bean and Cheese burrito with rice last week, blew my mind.

I seriously never understood why people put rice in their burritos. As a mexican it pisses me off why anyone would ruin such a beautiful thing with rice. I love spanish/mexican style rice but it does not belong in a burrito. I think the only reason they put rice in a burrito is so they can skimp out on the good stuff like koala meat and refried beans!

Rice is cheap filler. I think ti's part of that trend of fast food places to do a "meal-in-a-tortilla" thing, where they have some ungodly 13 items stuffed inside.

yeah i know and it sucks not to mention the rice falls out anyway and makes a mess.

I Don't eat meat, so the rice mixes things up. Andi have mastered my Burrito skills and nothing spills out.
Man if only i could blog about my love more Mexican food and hate of Taco bell.

I hate when people put hash browns or roasted potatoes in a breakfast burrito.

Like rice - it's cheap filler that makes you feel full and tricks you into thinking you had a good meal. Ef that.

Though I enjoy a burrito without rice, I love burritos with rice in them. It's nit about it being filler, I like the texture it adds to the burrito.

However, the best burrito I ever had had all sorts of mixed vegetables grilled with the meat. Carrots, potato, peas and a few others. It was unusual but so damn tasty.

It sounds like some kind of goddamn delicious fajita burrito and now I want one.

Also, I agree with Jazmyn about the whole rice thing.

Yeah, but it wasn't the sort of veggies that fajitas have that make a significant change to the flavor of the burrito. It was very subtle, and it rocked.

Lima beans were also in there, now that I think about it.

What they should stuff a burrito with are chile rellenos. One of the best damn burritos I ever had, especially because the chiles were spicy. mmm mmm mmm! :q

It's sweet that the taco thread keeps getting bumped. I love this thread!

Jaz I still need you to send me some Tamales.

Well Christmas is around the corner so I'll let you know and see what we can arrange.

And Pete it's a Burrito thread now!

Can we just call it the Mexican food thread?

I say rename it "What do you put in your taco?"

That would be like a Siren Call for Hopi to come flying in here.

I like rice in my burritos but I dislike potatoes and whatnot in them. I am an enigma!

Ha!I want to make a what would you put in your taco thread now! Damn euphemisms are great.

i was interviewed today by a Mexican lady who did make fun of my Taco Bell. she told me it was all fake. that AND she wants to see me again!!

ill put rice in my burrito in a second. and do it all the time. it doesnt fall out because im clever.

i have in the fridge a mixture of red and white beans i picked up new orleans a few weeks back. there's the usual trinity in it but also shrimp/crawfish sausage as well as andouille. and rice. i make tubs of this stuff--cause it takes an hour to prep and three hours to cook.

not uncommonly for a snack attack, i'll lay a flour tortilla down, place two slices of american cheese, lay another flour tort on top of it, scoop some beans and rice into the middle, sprinkle a handful of shredded cheese, and wrap it up. nuke it, approx. 1.3 minutes. let it sit for several. and what comes out is so ridiculously not good for you but is soooo damned good.

i have and will again roll up cheese or beef or chicken rellenos in a flour tort with cheese dip.

let me see: dirty rice. mashed up black beans. rice and beef. eggs with andouille and bell peppers and hotsauce. chicken and rice with artichoke. these are all things i've rolled up in flour torts adding cheese. big fan of it all. nom nom nom.

Those new Cantina Tacos at Taco Bell are disgusting. FYI

What's wrong with them? They just taste gross?

Are you surprised by this? Really?

With slight grammar and punctuation adjustment, you can apply this to everything they make:

But the wraps - it's like they tried to make something traditional tasting and fucked it all up.

Again, doesn't that apply to all of Taco Bell?

Your hatred of Taco Bell is unrivaled!

It's a love/hate thing. Before i eat, while waiting in line i have this strange love for The Bell. I think that this is going to be great, just the right level of grease and beans to satisfy my needs. But then when im almost done with the meal i start regretting and hating it.

Compared to Mexican food its crap.
Compared to most fast food it's really not too bad.

Plus I'm at work and its a glorious day so i'm bored and bitter so lashing out on food is really all i can do at this point
