Yeah, so they have always favored soft tacos. Mm-hmm, I do too. And we have, and sort of street style, in other words, much smaller tortilla. Yep. Lately, they've been favoring the flour tortilla, although there is an outfit here where we live where in the farmer's market, mom and grandma are personally pressing masa tortillas, like as you're ordering them, and that is incredible. Yeah.

And one day I will take them to Mexico and I have this insane taco story there, which was I was in southern Mexico and the family I was staying with was like, we're going out for tacos. Didn't really know what to expect. At that point in my life, I'm pretty sure my experience of tacos was whatever chain Tex-Mex restaurant we had on the East Coast, which is to say the nadir of Mexican food.

So we go out there and there's like three things you can put on the taco. So that's it. He's giving you choices. He's like, it's like cheese, chicken, or beans. I was like, oh, and these tortillas were very small, like the size of your palm. Yep. Oh, okay. I didn't really understand what was going on. Okay, great. So ordered whatever.

face it's really the salsa that's the meal yes and and i i did my best i did my best to eat every single one i'm not sure i got there but the cost of the time was insane it must have been less than 90 cents per taco so i really tried to do as much damage as possible but that was like a peak experience for sure

The family we were staying with, you know, the day is hot. And so we would come back from the university and lunch is the biggest meal of the day. And I kid you not, the housekeeper who was in charge of preparing the meals, my friend Scott and I sit down and there is this like just cartoonishly large stack of tortillas.

He and I are like really uncertain as to like whether we are expected to get through this mountain of tortillas. Anyway, we got through as much as we could and it was incredible. But it was also like, this is why you have the siesta because I cannot move. Right. It was like just it's super hot and a full on food coma. And you're like, yes, I am not moving again until 3 p.m. when it gets cooler.

I want that. Yeah, China had more pictures. When I was in Japan, I was learning Japanese and I was living near Tokyo, so the lot was in English. But when we traveled out to the countryside, if you got into the place that didn't have it, you're like looking at them and you're like, I think that is the kanji for codfish or it's like umbrella.
