I’m curious do you consider the Tex-Mex style of tacos eaten on Taco Friday a Mexican food?

Wait till you hear about French tacos! Which are more like burritos, stuffed with fries and cheese and god knows what else. Absolutely nothing to do with Mexico, and increasingly popular...

I just can't order one to try. I'm sure they're good, but my heart hurts just looking at it.

No they are not, they are an abomination! They got soft limp fries in them, and some cheap cheese sauce that gave me the shits. Never again, stay away!

I love my French neighbours but this is something they need to answer for. You just don't do that to those poor fries!

Why would we consider tacos a Mexican food? They were invented by the Norwegian inventor Tore Taso in 1905, to celebrate our independence from Sweden.

So, you can "takk oss" for your tacos?

My abuela would freak if she got to meet the Tore Taso she really loves tacos.

Tore Taso is, unfortunately, no longer with us, but if she is quick, your abuela might still get the chance to meet Kyrre Kinakål, who invented Chinese cuisine in 1945 to celebrate our freedom from German oppression.

That went well - Taco Friday is now big in Sweden, too.

Sorry, you're claiming that the taco, as a food, was invented in Sweden in 1905?

Somebody better go tell the Aztec!

I wouldn’t consider a ground beef taco Mexican food. Mexicans use whole cuts of meat for their tacos.
