This is wrong in several ways.

@th yeah, an illustration of the French Tacos should be the magnificent Hôtel de Ville of Villeurbanne, not the silly Eiffel Tower.

This is a crime against tacos.

@anya @th it is more like an oversized burrito, stuffed with the usual ingredients known from a kapsalon and a cheese sauce. That cheese sauce is like melted La Vache Qui Rit 🫣

@smveerman @anya from the wikipage it does sound like a kapsalon on a tortilla and includes this apt description "a kind of marketing bait-and-switch, drawing people with the promise of a Mexican culinary icon and then selling them something completely different."

@th @smveerman @anya please exchange my french taco for a
komplet lepinja ( https://wikidata.org/wiki/Q16089496 ) any time! :)

@highvoltage the only relation between "French Tacos" (singular "French Tacos") and Tacos from Mexico is the use of a flat bread "wrapper".

"French Tacos" usually involve a plurality of meats, french fries, cheese sauce, and maybe salad tomato and onions if you're feeling healthy. Wrapped in a (couple of) wheat tortillas. An ungodly burrito of sorts. A nuclear weapon full of carbs. Making a Döner Kebab look like diet food.

@olasd @highvoltage What's next, French molé, or should I say coq au choc?

@bremner @highvoltage now you've made me realize that I haven't had lunch yet. Oops.

@anya @smveerman @th

Yes, "Burrito Poutine" would be more accurate.

@th And BESIDES the crime against cuisine, shouldn't that be "Tacos français authentiques"????

@th I'm truly sorry. The French decided a few years ago that a taco is a flatbread with things in it and nobody stopped them before they ran away with it.

@rafi0t
Now I understand how Italians feel about American pizza
@th

@rafi0t @th There is a French taco place in my town as well. Time for American champagne, methinks.

@rafi0t @th But to be fair, Vietnamese baguettes are delicious.

@whvholst @th Do you mean Bahn mi? It is great.

@rafi0t @th Yes, báhn mí, but they are sold as "Vietnamese baguettes" at a Vietnamese place around the corner here.

@whvholst @rafi0t @th i love that raph has caught not using diacritics from his american partner, not the other way around :D

@quinn @whvholst @th nobody ever expects you to use them, Quinn.

@rafi0t
Or perhaps we should say, Quíñ.
