I'm concerned about time. Specifically, would I have time to save all 3 tacos and ensure that the other options perish in that fire? Shouldn't waste the golden opportunity of having 3 shitheads in a burning room by allowing any margin for survival.

Take one taco, the three stooges can fight over the last two while you get out.

This is a horrible Sophie's choice. There are three tacos how can I pick only one of them

72

Scarf down one, double hold the other two, leaving the other hand free to navigate out of the room.

11

Luckily, they're all in a plate. Take the plate take them all. Bar the door on the way out.

Save one taco, then eat it to deal with the existential dread of leaving the other two to die with the best the Fourth Reich has to offer.

Not a fan of tacos at all, but I'll save them for someone who is.

I'll probably give them to an immigrant or homeless person just to make it that little sweeter.

Maybe, but if even if you only take food from north America into consideration mexican food is still second place to Cajun/creole food..

Louisiana might agree with you, but the rest of North America would probably fight you on that. Nachos are a staple of every single sporting stadium here.

Sounds a lot like Canada, where most people’s exposure to “Mexican food” is Taco Bell. Welcome to the club.

My distaste for Tacos comes down to the fact I don’t like crunchy foods that shatter, and especially so when they run the risk of being messy. I mean, I can handle a gooey messy burger just fine, but that’s because it doesn’t shatter when I bite into it. Tacos hit both those pain points. Give me Arroz con Pollo any day, I absolutely love it. And yes, the only place I can get this is from Rancho Chico south of the border in Washington state.

Which means it’s a no-go until America overthrows the current authoritarian ChristoFascist administration. Because they won’t allow themselves to be legitimately voted out of power. Soooo… possibly a decade or more until I can eat there again, assuming America doesn’t invade Canada in the meantime.

4

Kind of depends on where you are in Canada. If you’re in the middle or out east, shit is pretty bleak. Being closer to California (aka, former Mexican territory) helps a lot.

Further you get from Mexico, the harder it is to find the right ingredients and people who know what decent Mexican food tastes like.

2

The funny thing is, hard shells aren't authentic. That's an American thing. Soft tortillas are authentic, maybe cooked just a little on the stove.

I agree, hard tacos are a mess. I don't understand why they exist. The texture is fine, but it'd be better as something in the taco, not as the container.

You can make tacos at home too by the way. They're a very simple food, and you just use whatever protein you want and whatever additions you feel like. It's like a sandwich. You can't go wrong. You just use what you have/want.

1

I'm not comfortable sharing that info, but I've tried some Mexican food in my travels. Wasn't bad, but I doubt it was authentic.

5

Sadly that seems to describe most of Europe. I would love to try some proper Mexican food. But according to people who had it they haven't found a place here that makes good stuff.

I went to a Mexican restaurant in Terra Haute once.

They used Ragu as enchilada sauce.

London, UK. Been to a taco place, and a Burrito place or two. Underwhelmed.

Any fellow Londoners care to recommend a decent Mexican place? There must be some here.

I don't think that anyone can just not like tacos at all, because they aren't just one thing. It's like a sandwich with bread, then whatever you want to put in it; beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, fish, or whatever protein you want and spices/vegitables/toppings. Maybe you don't like Taco Bell, but there's tacos out there you'd love.

2

For sure. I explained in another comment that I have very little exposure to Mexican. I don't dislike it I just don't love it, because I barely know it.

That's fair. It's pretty easy to do at home if you want to try it. You may need to mix your spices yourself if you can't find a spice mix, but I'm sure all the spices are available that you'd need. Just get some tortillas (soft, not hard), ground beef or chicken (or whatever else), tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and you'll be good to go. Maybe look it up online to find inspiration for what to add/what spices you need.

You mean I get to watch them burn alive and eat tacos? Where's the wrong decision?

I'm just saying, if you were going to eat a sandwich taco, you would enjoy it more if you knew no one had fucked it.

None of them are half as interesting as that, but I am 100% confident that if two of them saw the other one roofie-ing a taco, they would instantly recognize the act and abide it.

If they played limp bizkid with the taco I would still take one for the team and eat it just so they could burn

I take one taco, and then go tell Mike Johnson that there are free tacos and where to get them.

I am a semi functioning human with empathy, I also choose Tacos.

That's probably the vegan choice if you look at it big picture wise

Well the tacoes are already in my hands because I was the one stating the fire when I saw who was in the room and I wanted some snacks while watching it burn down.

30

I would sacrifice the tacos too to avoid entering a room with those 3 assholes.

I would grab and shake JD violently to get his attention, then ask him to listen very carefully is there any tzatziki sauce ?

Can't take the risk. Better bar the door before the flames spread. It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

I mean... It's literally genetic. The aldehydes in cilantro usually aren't strong enough for people to taste. But if you want to know what I taste when I eat cilantro, go crush a stink bug, it's the same chemical.

Apparently I can desensitize myself to it, and I want to. Certainly would open up a lot of options in foods I'm already a fan of (if you leave out the cilantro).

I'm weird. I can fully recognize the part that taste like soap. It isn't strong or overpowering, but I can recognize the taste. Still love cilantro for the rest of the flavors it gives. I guess kinda like how beets taste a bit like dirt to me, but I still like beets and beet juice. Or truffle oil having an "earthy" flavor to me.

4

I wish I could taste the other flavors. That's actually why I was considering desensitizing myself to it. I get the dirt and earthy, but I love both of those the same. I've been growing my palette, but it took me nearly two decades to find hops that I could stand to start desensitizing myself to that bitter.

I'm a fully brown person with fully brown ancestry and cilantro tastes like soap

I am the Pyrax, I speak for the fires, the fire says your welcome, and thank you for the tacos it helped clean the taste out.

As much as I'd like to save the tacos, my hands would be too busy holding the doors closed keeping all 5 of use inside.

In all fairness, it's if a true Mexican taco (not some imitation from, say, the US or Europe) I would save that no matter what the other three were.

With the image as-is, you could replace that taco with a dead rat and I would still save that rat over the rest

NGL I kind of don't like cilantro onion tacos, like I gotta figure out what to do with this now. Find a homeless person? idk.

After a long and hard decision I decided not to decide. But stop for lunch. Those tacos look delicious. Don't mind if I do!

If I'm within saving distance, I am within pushing down distance and buddy I can push pretty good.

Tacos are the GOAT, and reason enough, on their own, to justify immigration in the US.

7

To make this more plausible, let's assume they're all tied to chairs. I'd let the tacos be tacos and use the time to check that they're all tied up very well.

Honestly, those look like tacos someone I know may enjoy... I'd save them real hard... maybe wrap em in some foil or something...

XD fair enough ! Tbh I was just trying to see if this could be made into a joke. I've never had a proper taco (except maybe once, but I was drunk as hell and it was a very poorly made imitation that I wouldn't call a taco) so I wouldn't know what to eat it with. Please enlighten me, what kind of sauce do people put on tacos (if any)?

Musk. HEAR ME OUT…..

::: spoiler Spoiler The tacos are the logical choice here, obviously. But if I save the rich fuck then he owes me big time. I want 5 billion dollars, the rest he gives to immigration and housing charities. Then he gets deported back to Africa in the middle of the Sahara desert with only the clothes on his back, a bag of peanuts, and a bottle of Gatorade (c’mon I’m not heartless enough for him to starve or die of thirst….immediately). :::

He’ll weasel out of it and I’ll probably end up broke because of litigation. I don’t trust Musk.

This idiot openly and publicly tried to buy the government. He doesn't hide it, he thinks it's the most normal thing. The politicians there don't get paid by taxes, it's quite obvious right? So why would he have to lie about it.

He was wrong, most people need to hear lies.

Everyone either is unaware that US politicians are only paid 1% by taxes or don't know what that means.
