Probably something like a “ground beef, cheese, tomato and lettuce flatbread sandwich.”

Taco: Mexican Flat Round Bread Sandwich Pita: Greek Flat Round Bread Sandwich Pizza: Italian Flat Round Toast With Toppings
JigglypuffSeenFromAbove@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That’s perfect, let’s just say we’re having lunch at ‘Mexican Flat Round Bread Sandwich Bell’ now. Clearly, calling it Taco Bell is all part of some Democrats secret agenda to push MEXICAN on America!

Circle Sandwich.

You laugh but the Quebec government attempted to fine an Italian restaurant for having the names of their dishes in Italian, many of which have no French name.
daggermoon@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
The Canadian government is pretty weird about that aren’t they?
ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Quebec government, specifically. Other provinces only require government services to be provided in both French and English but private businesses can mostly do what they want. Quebec requires private business to be conducted in French unless the customer requests service in a different language. Any non-French text or speech made to a customer before they request it can be seen as a violation. They can be a little overzealous at times.
merc@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Nope. The Canadian government just sighs and wishes Quebec wouldn’t be such a problem.

I feel like this is fake.
Two reasons. I was unable to find a video clip of this, and it’s not nearly racist enough for these shit-hawks.
If some has the clip, please share.

It’s definitely fake. The screenshot is from around the 4:37 timestamp.

Sadly, it doesn’t matter if he said it when it is entirely reasonable to believe that he did. It isn’t the most racist or the stupidest thing this guy has said on national television.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I mean, third reason, he’s labeled as “Homan” which seems pretty close to Human but just a bit off. And that’s simply too on-the-nose for the topic.

Agreed, Mexican food is one of the greatest culinary flavor profiles the world has known so far. This guy looks like he sits around eating mayonnaise out of the jar with a spoon. He’s probably just mad that mayo prices went up.

US scientists… Hmmm how about we start with a pure translation “Little Donkey”. Hmm less donkey, we need less donkey!..Little Dunks! How about we drop the little… Just Dunks. “I need a couple of bean and beef dunks please!” How does that sound Bob? Bob, that sounds great Bob!

Completely glancing over the fact that there is exactly zero Mexican items at Taco Bell. Everything there is some kinda bastardized American Midwest slop. I think the only actual Spanish on the memo is “gordita” which loosely translates into fat bitch, which seems fitting.
NONE_dc@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Ehhh… “gordita” does not translate to “Fat Bitch” but “Little Faty”…
merc@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Taco Bell sells tacos that are reasonably close to Mexican street tacos. Obviously not as good, but it’s a small soft tortilla with fillings, that’s what you get in Mexico too.
Burritos are also Mexican, though they’re not as common across the whole country as tacos. The modern burrito comes from Ciudad Juarez right on the border with Texas.
Most of the rest of the Taco Bell menu isn’t authenitcally Mexican, but I’d say their core menu items are tacos and burritos.

Comtief@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
considering that english already has a bunch of loan words from spanish that are considered “english”, they same should probably apply to taco bell menu… So are they really “spanish” words in that sense?

I was reading an article where he claimed he wasn’t as hardline, as some, and his immigration policies were actually motivated by the guaranteed safety to everyone when we follow the rules (he gave the example of a migrant nearly dying from falling down a ravine during zir trek).

Fox news with the hard hitting journalism, as usual. And that saggy faced guy looks like he might have a coronary within the hour, someone should get him some help or he might die on tv. For now at least he is still entitled to universal health care via medicare.
Can males have resting bitch face?
That should be the real headline. Also, my toddler gets that look on his face when he is about to dump his food on the floor and cry, without actually knowing why he is crying.He looks like he’d find eating any vegetable “offensive” as well. He might eat a pudding cup.
