It's weird that they're all jokes but then do a 100% accurate description of Boston style.

This was my take.

It's weird that they're all jokes but then do a 100% accurate description of St Louis style.

Every good joke needs a kernel of truth to it.

@BErt I know. I was introduced to Detroit style via Morgantown, and it's actually damn good.

My favorite frozen pizza is from Motor City Pizza, which is Detroit style.

Wait, did they just translate Quattro Formaggi? Way to conform to the stereotype, 'murica.

sometimes I will take money out of the ATM machine and buy some queso cheese dip to eat while I watch the Los Angeles Angels.

I mean, changing the recipe to local tastes (or even making your own variety that misses the point) is rather usual for foodstuff. I was referring to the fact that they felt the need to translate the name as to not require the poor citizens to have to use foreign words / neologisms.

And don't forget to read some DC comics, while eating some KFC chicken...

He's refering to the fact that "queso" is an option to choose from among the types of cheese. As in, "do you want Parmesan, Gruyère, or Queso cheese on your tacos?".

What kind of taco places are you going to?

 

[Celt Z]

Hey, a Democrat won the White House. I was promised a taco truck on every corner! I don't see my taco trucks, dammit!

 

[Bubble181]

Me? I'm in Europe, so none. If anything, they're mexican restaurants :-P
It was broguht up in another thread somewhere, or even thins one, I'm too lazy to go look it up. But it's not about chaning a recipe to adjust to local tastes, but about just "translations" that aren't, is all I was saying.

 

[blotsfan]

It was a joke because you chose two cheeses that would be very odd to see on a taco.

Ah, well, in that case, sorry. I'm not in an awesome state of mind right now so I didn't really pick up on that.
Still don't know which one you want on your taco, though, and it's getting cold :-P

The Freebirds around Texas are a good example - the three cheeses they offer as toppings are "Cheddar," "Swiss," and "Queso." The first two are shredded solid, the third is hot liquid (which some might call "Nacho cheese."

My favorite is when I see in a menu that my sandwich will come “with au jus dipping sauce on the side.”

My supermarket here in germany sells "spare rips". It annoys the hell out of me.They have in their frozen aisle read made spare ribs which have the correct spelling, but their boomer butcher still uses this antiquated (still wrong though) way of writing it.

 

[General Specific]

Had a Chinese buffet around here that had a bit of American food as well. You could get chicken tenders, French fries, and a slice of pizzaz

How was the pizzaz? Too much razzle-dazzle, or just enough?

 

[General Specific]

Needed more razzle-dazzle for sure. It was for the kids who “didn’t like Chinese.” Definitely just there for show.

You expect to find one for just $6.99?

I heard you can find many at @bhamv3 's work place

 

[BErt]

Just incredible

I dunno. There have definitely been periods in my life where I'd have loaned you my car for moving in exchange for a few weeks of dating.

Could. Past tense.

This covid lockdown is getting ridiculous.

That's just how long they figure it'll be until everyone finally starts wearing masks in public.
