B&B Show: Hard vs Soft

[CochiseCowbell]

The Great Taco Debate of 2015

General, you are wrong. Bobby C. is right. The twit poll results don't matter. Facts "is" facts (collective noun...yada, yada, yada). A soft Taco is basically an unfinished/incomplete or lazy burrito.

The amount of double entendres in that argument is hilariously staggering. Also, the "blanket" retort in the flour vs corn sub-debate was...yeah, wow.

Bob used the iPhone vs rotary phone analogy in rebuttal to Brian's Traditionalist platform. While, this tactic was honorable & on point, it lacked emphasis & chutzpah. I realize his hands are tied, so I'll put it another way:

Clinging to the past against progress, digging one's heels in the dirt against knowledge, technology, & social change, and ignoring important innovations are all characteristics of a college fan base that calls Oxford, MS home.

I love the show, fellas. I love the app. I don't tweet, not that this would fit anyway, so, this is the only way I can show my appreciation. Keep up the good work!

The ladies & tots in PlatinumPlus' threads agree with Bob. And now, to come full circle, should the show be renamed "Pinky & The Brian?"

I have way too much time on my hands...

Soft and it's not close. Hard tacos are for kids and people who enjoy **** food

I thought this was a toilet paper discussion

HD6 might could write an editorial here if that were the case.

 

[BigMotherTucker]

Can't we all just get along??

She said you can't even compare hard vs soft

 

[notoriousD_O_G]

Gotta go soft just for versatility. Crunchy you only ever see made with ground beef. Soft brings brisket, pulled pork, and fish into play.

 

[KurtRambis4]

People eat hard tacos?*

[aTotal360]

Go hard or go home.

 

[Treemydawg]

Go hard or go home.

That's what she said !!!

 

[mcdawg22]

Hard, they don't make Doritos Locos in soft shell. Besides, I don't know why people listen to Hadad's opinion of food, he thinks kibbee is good. Yeah I said it DS, I don't give a 17. I guess I won't be invited to any more 3 hour Greek Orthodox weddings in Vicksburg.

Nailed it. I don't want my burrito to grow up to be nachos.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Blue corn flour tortillas pan fried, best of both worlds firm but not crispy & soft but not limp. If you are in the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico they sell them on the streets, make great tacos---usually some pork, lettuce, onion, poblano pepper combination.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Is the Double Decker still available? I used to like it, back when I went once or twice a week.

 

[KurtRambis4]

If your choice for taco

shells is hard, and it's based off something from taco hell, then you just completely shot your opinion. It's like saying the Bee Gee's are the best band ever, bc you only listen to disco.

 

[dotcomdawg]

Crunchy. Period. End of discussion.

That's the only place I gets tacos, aside from fish tacos. Let's be real mahi, on a tortilla isn't really a taco. When I go to Mexican establishments I don't get the number 12. A soft taco is just a sad burrito.

 

[LandArchDawg]

Crunchy. Soft tacos are wannabe burritos.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Yeah, that was my point.

If Taco Bell is your frame of reference, then you really have none....

ETA: And a Mexican joint is not a Mexican joint if you have to reference meals by the phrase "can I get a number (insert #1-20)"

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Corn tortillas are a must. Soft corn > hard corn > soft flour.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Soft corn tortillas are pretty gross.

I enjoy both hard corn and soft flour, but soft corn turn into a soggy broken mess almost instantly.

 

[dawgstudent]

I trust this guy

 

[Dawgbite]

Hard = Taco
Soft = Fajita

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

You need to clarify your opinion on the numbering system. Yes, Taco Hell has the numbering system with the combos but most Mexican restaurants I go to do as well. They don't have a large led menu with pictures up front, but they usually have a 1-30 something or an alphabet lettering system, or even both.

 

[seshomoru]

Soft corn tortillas are the 1st rule.

The second rule is no ground beef. If there is a ground meat in your taco it better be chorizo.

Third rule: Top with cilantro, finely diced onion, lime wedges, pickled or grilled jalapeno if you want heat, and a salsa.

That's it. That's what makes a taco.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I don't know what the 17 you just described but a taco it is not.

 

[dawgstudent]

Ground beef = hard taco

Premium meat such as grouper, catfish, chicken, steak, shrimp = soft taco

 

[aTotal360]

You fancy.

 

[dawgstudent]

I actually make my own double decker when we make tacos at home.

Soft taco with beans then wrap around a hard shell and do the rest.

 

[aTotal360]

You need to try Taco Town.

 

[dawgstudent]

I was on board until the pizza.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

See the top picture at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taco

Find a taco truck where the menu is in Spanish but they speak English too, and order a plate of tacos.

 

[Dawgbite]

The second rule is no ground beef. If there is a ground meat in your taco it better be chorizo.

Third rule: Top with cilantro, finely diced onion, lime wedges, pickled or grilled jalapeno if you want heat, and a salsa.

That's it. That's what makes a taco.

Those lime wedges are kinda hard to chew aren't they?

 

[Dawgbite]

For the game tomorrow, West side is hard, East side is soft! Ready Bulldog Fans?

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Catfish?

 

[seshomoru]

Catfish, some cabbage slaw, comeback, green tomato salsa.

A good Mississippi version of a Baja taco.

 

[seshomoru]

There's like three or four taquieras on Old Canton Rd. near the Jackson/Ridgeland line. Guadalupe is fantastic and there is one across the street in a strip center that actually has a butcher shop in the back.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

That sounds pretty tasty. If only I could make the perfect comeback, but that's a thread for another day
