It’s pretty good road food, but packing a picnic lunch is much better.Michael Leddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547732736861224886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-67775937069562662172011-01-27T05:50:46.193-06:002011-01-27T05:50:46.193-06:00Isn't that the way you make YOUR taco filling?...Isn't that the way you make YOUR taco filling? My lecithin patch hasn't been producing well this year, but the maltodextrin bushes have more than made up for that.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195458656221202202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-15571007642635290962011-01-26T22:30:17.554-06:002011-01-26T22:30:17.554-06:00I can remember back in the 90s, a body-builder and...I can remember back in the 90s, a body-builder and gym owner friend of mine ate Taco Bell food in the off-season. And truth to tell, if you picked the right items, you got fresh vegetables and other fresh ingredients. So I always ate at Taco Bell while on the road (i.e. very rarely). Hamburger meat is pretty cheap as it is. Adding soy and oatmeal extenders is just greed. Corn syrup?<br /><br />BTW, whenever I get a taste for taco meat, I make my own: ground beef, onions, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika and cloves...notice, no oatmeal or soy extenders.<br /><br />I skip the tortillas, though.normannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17358715755873851074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-6348188739871201952011-01-26T19:13:01.925-06:002011-01-26T19:13:01.925-06:00And, if you add up all the euphemisms in there for...And, if you add up all the euphemisms in there for "corn syrup", it likely outweighs the "beef". <br /><br />Cocoa powder???<br /><br />My sister's name for Taco Bell is "Taco Hell"<br /><br />So glad I stopped eating meat (or "beef", quotes necessary) many moons ago.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14739826084658103214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-37388287245940188242011-01-26T09:07:12.126-06:002011-01-26T09:07:12.126-06:00I heard a story about that last night on NPR.

I'm amused that Taco Bell insists that the product is just "beef and seasonings" - funny, but I've never considered soybeans or oatmeal to be particularly tasty. But they're great fillers, which of course the company doesn't want to admit.Petehttp://www.petelit.comnoreply@blogger.com
