Looked it up. If anything it's a Shawrma or if you want to stretch it because of the tortilla then it's a panini burrito.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Quote from: Gups on August 22, 2024, 02:59:20 PMWhat are French tacos?

My impression is it's like a shawarma or maybe a panini burrito.

I think normally kebab meat, chips and cheese wrapped in a tortilla with sauce algerienne.

Don't think I've ever seen them here - although from what Jos was saying it sounds like they did get popular for a bit.
Let's bomb Russia!

Quote from: Syt on August 22, 2024, 12:02:19 PMOn the "white guy taco" thing - Ben Shapiro was pointing out that white guys liking bland food was nonsense, because if it were true, why did Europeans get involved in the spice trade???

Which makes me think that Ben read Roger Crowley's latest book that came out a few months ago (or at least knows of its existence), and for some reason that kinda annoys me. :D

That is the dorkiest possible objection to that joke.  :lol:

Quote from: Josquius on August 22, 2024, 02:22:45 PMFrench cuisine is supposed to be respected.
This is their best dish.
Respect it.

I was so shocked and happy you finally found something nice to say about France. But then you had to go and make it backhanded  :cry:

Not back hand at all. Though very much a part of France certain quarters won't be big on.  :p

At a usual place you get a little paper where you tick off what you want.
I think kebab meat is an Option (I recall cordon bleu is too...) But I usually go with mince or chicken.
Stuff to go in.... Cheeses, salad, onion, tomato, chips, a choice of a bunch of sauces.
It's in a tortilla wrapped up in a cuboid shape and toasted.

There were 2 branches of giga tacos in Newcastle for less than a year, both on pretty rough secondary highstreets in inner suburbs.
They looked very professional and proper but the placement of them and the whole setup just seemed... Weird. But it was basically the real stuff.
Would be surprised if in London theres not something.

It sounds like a straight burrito.  With Algerian sauce.

We have O'Tacos in Vienna for some reason. I've ordered from them a few times. It's not terrible.

Nor to do with tacos.

Never had a burrito with french fries in it. Nor would I.

At the convention parents of one of the hostages Hamas took spoke.  The crowd responded with "Bring them home". :)
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
