When we moved from NJ to OR last summer there was a surprising amount of "culture shock" involved. Little things that I'm sure I've mentioned in the past like different brands at the supermarket all the way up to bigger things like the horrible facsimile of pizza they serve out here. One of the things that puzzled me the most, however, were the signs at Taco Time (a Mexican fast food chain that doesn't exist on the east coast). The signs read, "Crisp Meat $.99." I had no idea what they were selling, but crisp meat did not sound appealing, even to my thoroughly carnivorous soul. I've idly wondered all these months what crisp meat could be. I imagined some sort of deep fried beef, but even that would have to cook for a long time to get "crisp." A few weeks ago the mystery was finally solved, apparently it's some sort of thin burrito that's deep fried. It looks like a tacquito to my non-mexican-food-eating eye.
this blog is so aptly named sometimes.
