I saw something disgusting in print today: "Texas Fish Tacos"

[HopeHoops]

Ordinarily, it wouldn't have bothered me. But I had an unavoidable mental image of the shrub grabbing a raw fish and saying, "Now some people like ta cook 'em, but I like 'em raw. Right out ah the oil-slicked Gulf. Them's good eats."

I bet the feed corn farmers are still laughing about his raw corn incident.

1. Eh, is it the Texas part, the FISH part, or the TACO part that rankles?!1

I'll just address the taco part. When the Earl of Sandwich asked for a piece of something packed into a bread, he created the concept of the EDIBLE CONTAINER. I say "concept" because probably the PRACTICE was likely around from the dawn of various species.

Grape leaf, corn husk, wraps, buns, tortillas, pitas(?) (I'm running out my culinary cred---down to the TACO end of things: tortillas---- All containers for edible insides...

4. Actually some fish tacos sound real good right now

I prefer Baja style with the shredded cabbage and that awesome white sauce, but the traditional taco treatment (Lettuce,tomato, cheese and some pico or Tapatio) washed down with a coupla Shiners would fit the bill nicely.


Mmmmm!

You're right, he doesn't sound very Tejano to me either!

3. Just stay away from the Coney Island Whitefish and you'll be fine.

5. I haven't touched any kind of fish in almost 20 years, and no land-based meat in longer.

The fish thing was a combination of it not looking or smelling like food anymore (I see cat food), and one of the last things was a batch of some stanky crabs. Some smelled of ammonia, others of petroleum, and some were too disgusting for words. I couldn't eat them - AND I GREW UP EATING CRABS!
