I ate Mexican food and now I have heartburn again. I wrote a poem about Tacos & Burritos a few months ago that reminds me of this:
Tacos & Burritos
Let's take a look at tacos and burritos and their geographical overview in the United States. Its strange how different regions in the U.S. have different types of tacos and burritos. Pizza is a different story and I comprehend why that correlation varies, but burritos and tacos, C'mon!? On the west coast they are made of Fish. Down south, they are made with shredded beef. Up north, they are predominately made of chicken... Chicago being an exception... it follows east coast rules. East coast tacos and burritos are made of ground beef. One time I had a burrito that was advertised as being "bigger than your head." I'll be damned if it wasn't as advertised! On a more racist but related note, there were a couple of semi-foreign-looking brothers on this one football team and everyone (including the coaches and some of the parents) called them "Taco" and "Burrito." This was even more funny because they were of a Middle-Eastern heritage and weren't even close to being Mexican or Spanish.

Wow, that explains why the Taco del Mars here. Fish in tacos and burritos is weird to me as pineapple on pizza. Ugh. On a sort-of related football note, it seems that the biggest and fattest kid on a small-town football team was named Bubba. I don't know if that is a Midwest thing, or if it is Universal.

tacos and burritos are great things. esp in san francisco where they seem to have perfected the art of burrito making...
