My grandmother used to only ever use white corn, fried in about 3" of Crisco.

I can get masa, but it's fucking $10 AUD and makes about 5 tortillas....

They just don't do maize there, and I don't believe my wife ever had hominy prior to living in the states.

masa is ground hominy. hominy is white corn soaked in lye, which is firewood ash. corn is a grass that will grow like weeds in warm weather and alkaline soils.

if you're going to be lost in the outback all this can easily be sorted out.

kangaroo tacos.

I would like to make love to your grandmother's taco.

$*$!!@!? & José Olé, I reckon I'll be asking for more of you wisdom before this time next year.

If I have enough water, I do aim to grow my own, o, Children of the Corn.

this is a corn grinder:

currently $27 at sears

floatingslowly · 11.29.2012, 01:19 PM

....I can't buy 'stuff' for awhile because the cost to ship is too prohibitive.

There's an awesome food market in Prahran (Melb, Vic,) that I can't wait to revisit. It'll be fantastic knowing that I can keep stuff I buy...

I also want a tangine.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 11.29.2012, 01:26 PM

haha! I'm glad that I hijacked this thread and turned into a tortilla thread! fuck yeah!

floatingslowly · 11.29.2012, 01:59 PM

Who the hell are you? I was speaking to my brown brothers.

Gringos don't know tortillas, whitey!

Bytor,

One of my people used to drive from his job with Kelsey Seabold clinic, to the Garden Ridge pottery on I-10 west, just because they had $1.50 Frito Pies for lunch.

we told him he was crazy, but he loved the shits!

Rob Instigator · 11.29.2012, 02:27 PM

Have you guys ever gotten what I call the Mexican Judgement Face? That is when you are at a Mexican restaurant or Taqueria and choose flour tortillas over the corn ones, and the waitress gives you a "silly gringo" look of shame.

(I am Latino to the bone, but look so goddamn cracka-ass that other Hispanics think I am whitey)

floatingslowly · 11.29.2012, 02:42 PM

That's not a Mexican Judgement Face.

Order Bún bò Huê with "NO blood clots" at any Vietnamese restaurant and see.

floatingslowly · 11.29.2012, 02:56 PM

ps: why's it gotta be Mexican? they don't eat tacos down in Wat-a-mall-a?

Genteel Death · 11.29.2012, 03:08 PM

I rarely use tortilla bread but I am a big fan of paratha bread, which is kind of similar.

Which look, this one?

Dude, at the taco places I roll to they don't even HAVE flour tortillas. Also, the sure way to get the gringo spit in your tacos special is to insult the Mexican palate and order your food "special" by removing any of the sacred ingredients. It is an insult to a Mexican chef NOT to eat the food the way THEY prepare it, and reflects that gringo arrogance. You've been warned if yo ass is scurred of Cilantro

By the way, Genteel Death, that look is going indian stone-faced in your direction..

In one fail swoop you have insulted both the sanctity of the Taco and the innocense of the burrito

Besides of which..
Salvordan and Guatemalan tacos are different, they are usually al vapor style, and saltier meats..
