Thread: I don't like Taco Bell

I was found out. I was in too much of a hurry to get my fix.

We have a Taco Bell / KFC / Pizza Hut combo in my home town (go figure pepsi owns a huge portion of all three I like to get Breadsticks from P. Hut to go with my Taco Bell.

As for the category to put Taco Bell food into, i would say AMERICANIZED CULTURAL FOOD

just like any Chinese buffet place you go into or any ****ty Thai place. We take good food from other countries and make them cheap, add salt and MSG and call it our own. God Bless the USA!

and... Post 100 b1tches

Man Blackstang I'm with you. I LOVE food, and it shows. sadly even when I don't eat too bad it shows, got the damned slowest metabolism.

that said, I'm not big on fast food. I get an hour for lunch, for the past 8 years, that's really screwed things up. I have time for sushi, bbq, italian, REAL mexican which I am blessed to have in abundance like you wouldn't believe here.

for fast food I love In-N-Out, a chain that those east of Arizona likely aren't familiar with but has the greatest burgers to be had for the money (and for about 4 times as much too). I don't eat taco bell too often but do like it, agreeing that it isn't real mexican food. and it is great for the kids, a quesadilla and some cinnamon twists and I'm a hero.

Red Lobster biscuits........droool............I once layed a napkin in my wives purse and snuck 6 biscuits in there over the course of a meal. I've since learned they don't guard them as closely as I would and I can just stuff them in a to go box. my wife's much happier now, though her purse no longer carries that delicious cheddar garlic aroma.

I think it depends on the people working at the Bell. My Bell is really dodgy. Sometimes we have the most drugged out idiots working, but other times I could swear that a refried god is back there wrapping burritos. Some of it gets old after a while, which is why I stick with the same order: 2 bean burritos, extra onions; 2 supreme tacos, lots of fire sauce, and a water. It's hard to screw up any of that.

In the great words of Harvey Keitel in Reservoir Dogs: "I'm hungry. Let's get a taco."

It depends on what I want. I don't consider Taco Bell, Dell Taco, McDonalds, etc to be real food just fast food. The distinction is important since I would never go to Taco Bell for Mexican food but at the same time I enjoy eating at Taco Bell when my time is short and I want something decent to eat. Given the choice I would hit a Rubios or Sombreros or In N Out or the like for something better but it comes down to what is available and what I'm in the mood for. If that makes any sense, lol.

I rarely eat fast food (haven't been to a McDonald's, BK or Hardees for the past 8 years or so except to use their bathrooms when I'm on the road) but I'll stop at Taco Hell about three times per year.

I agree it seems to depend on who's working. Unfortunately it seems the few times I go are the few times I get the drive through attendant that causes me to recoil. The last time the worker had a few raging raspberry sized cold sores on her lips when she turned to take my cash. I wasn't very hungry after that.

Hey, I haven't eaten at McD's in forever too! For anyone that regularly eats McD's, I strongly suggest not eating it for a while. You can only feel better. Now if I eat anything at McD's, I become extremely sick and my body rejects it. Give it a whirl, you'll be surprised.

Agreed. Years and years ago I came to believe (and still do) that ALL McDonald's food is made up of the same polymerized amalgamation of chemicals known to me as "McSubstance". It's formed, shaped, infused and enhanced differently depending on its final product appearance, but it's still McSubstance to me!

That movie Super Size Me was just crazy.

They admit that their food is engineered. That's the first tipoff that it might not be the best thing in the world
