Taco bell coming to thailand
Re: Taco bell coming to thailand
Not nitpicky (whatever that is) but you missed the point entirely which was that it is easy to make tortillas rather than buy Taco Crap. It was not a recipe, never was intended to be a recipe, just a point.

nitpicky (comparative nitpickier, superlative nitpickiest)
Finicky; overly critical; concerned with insignificant details.
I didn't miss the point, I think you did. The reality is that people in the west don't cook. It doesn't matter how easy it is, that won't do it.
I used to do two dinner parties a month, one pizza, the other whatever I was in the mood for. My pizza always got raves and laments about the time it took and the difficulty involved. Explaining that it was just a long cold ferment, tomatoes and cheese did nothing to inspire my friends to take up the mantle and do it themselves.

I would have said that "nitpicky" is a very good description of you.Clemen wrote: ↑Sat Dec 15, 2018 9:45 pm nitpicky (comparative nitpickier, superlative nitpickiest)

Number 1 definition according to Google.
a social occasion at which guests eat dinner together.
Please keep your small minded xenophobic comments to yourself.

Re: Taco bell coming to thailand
You must have a different Google to me then. Not a mention on the first three pages about it being a social occasion at which guests eat dinner together.
Perhaps a link would help?

There is too much squabbling lately

Re: Taco bell coming to thailand
That remark surprised me as this is not my experience. Which part of the west are you referring to, or is this a recent development or millennial thing? Generally the communities I have lived in and the families I knew would be cooking three meals a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Even working in Southern Africa all the expats I was involved with cooked and it was very much a life of endless dinner parties and brais. Living here apart from going out to restaurants a couple of times a week, I cook pretty much every day. I think people I know here do likewise although to what extent i'm not sure.

Pretty much sums up Virginia. hardly anyone we know can cook and eating out or take outs is standard procedure.Kuroneko wrote: ↑Fri Dec 21, 2018 4:22 pmThat remark surprised me as this is not my experience.

Pizza is considered gourmet food and Tacobell's the pinnacle of fine dinning.
My wife is unusual in that she would put a Michelin starred chef to shame.

Relax man, it was just a joke, nothing xenophobic about that reply. Could just as well call you out for saying that people in the West don't cook.
