    I'm not trying to be creepy, but you're dealing with the wrong tacos!

    No. Trust me. I've seen great tacos. They are small.

    Why not both? :smile:

    I ask my short, lightly active, decently light body that all the time.

    If I'm trying to lower the calories I'll take one hard shell taco (homemade, but imagine a taco bell taco) and crumble it over a big bed of lettuce. Add a Tbsp of ranch dressing and I've got a taco salad. Still get all the flavor out of that one little taco with a lot more volume. Usually just under 300 calories.

    Boggles my mind that other countries do not embrace our America taco obsession. I mean, Taco Tuesday!

    It seems like in the UK, Indian food is the cheap takeout of choice rather than Mexican.

    On the other hand Indian food is not so widely known or available in the US.

    Plus proximity, history, etc.

    Actually the direct comparison may be more likely to be the Doner Kebab ...hand held, bread wrap, meat / salad, relatively cheap and a "got to have a Doner when drunk" mentality

    Although tbh they are less popular now

    In terms of take out we have world cuisines: Indian and Chinese most popular but can also get thai, Vietnamese, Japanese...Mexican really isn't up there in our psyche

    I blame the paprika (eurgh)

    Having eaten both Indian food and tacos/Mexican food, there's no comparison for me - !Viva México!

    I've had Indian food in the States ...it's not good
