Two blokes review Taco Bell Basildon

I just hope that more people will ignore the fatalism of the argument that we are beyond repair. We are not beyond repair. We are never beyond repair. - AOC

Tack-oh Bell?  ???  :)

What is the UK's double meaning for 'bell' - this is a new one for me?

No idea what the other meaning of 'bell' is, and I'm British.  Perhaps it's either a regional or youth thing?  Have to say although I wouldn't expect Taco Bell to produce a genuinely 'hot' ie spicy product I never, in three years, ate a Mexican meal that I'd have called 'hot' - couldn't wait to come back to the UK for a spicy curry!  Loved the mexican flavours but despite trying many restaurants couldn't get that 'heat' kick!

I've heard "bell end" used as a reference to a certain aspect of *ahem* male anatomy, so I can only assume they mean the same by using "bell".

Get thee out to Arizona & New Mexico (not to Taco Bell) - there's some seriously spicy Mexican food out there!  When I was a little girl, we would stop at a truck stop somewhere in New Mexico & I'd get enchiladas where the sauce would make smoke come out of my ears.  I have the dried peppers to do that with now, but I don't make it very often.  :)

The seriously spicy Mexican - well you don't find it much east of the Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas corridor anyway.

I guess most of the meals would have been eaten in Memphis - perhaps that explains it!  I'd ask people for recommendations and follow them up but was always vaguely disappointed - and I so wanted to love it!

Yeah, I got a taste for the spicy stuff when I lived in New Mexico... everything comes with chile (the state question is: 'red or green?' :P), even McDonalds does green chile cheeseburgers. So now everything in the UK tastes pretty bland to me - even some of the spicier curries here aren't very hot compared to the spicy New Mexican food!

DH's favorite food is a prawn vindaloo so the first time I took him to a US Mexican restaurant I asked the waiter to make it good & hot for him.  They obliged.   ;D

Is it sad that it made me sad watching this? As I used to go to that Town Centre practically every single weekend for 5 months! lol, but it had me giggling, I have to say, Taco Bell in the U.K. is definitely different than Taco Bell here in the U.S. And I have to agree, Taco Bell in NYC was crap. . .
