That's a fair amount of taco bell value items.

I could hear him trying Taco Bell now... "Ooh, that's weird." And I'll have no idea if it was a good weird or a bad weird. He didn't even know what a taco was until he met me and he's not keen on them because he doesn't like beef mince.

I thought the $5 was funny.  Basically thinking it actually made the box worth running off with.   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I didn't think the Ziploc's would last long!

haha we make our tacos with turkey mince :) But you can also do shredded chicken or anything really.

I always find it surprising when I meet a new Brit that has no idea about Mexican food/tacos! I just don't understand!

We did a taco bar for my daughter's family birthday celebration this year - which also happened to be Easter Sunday.

Inlaws had never had tacos (Husband's mom, dad, aunt, cousin, and her two girls).  There were no leftovers.  Definite success!

I want a taco bar just every day in general hahah

Yeah the people I've introduced them to have loved them if they've tried them! One friend of mine said his girlfriend put a ban on tacos because they were eating them too much hah

I worked at Taco Bell for pretty much the whole of my undergrad years, and the one in my hometown (I worked in several as I moved around) had this British family who would visit.  I loved it when they came in and ordered "tayc-ohs".  I'd always read their order back, stressing "tahk-ohs", and they still never said it my way. Now that I'm living here (totally didn't see this coming!), and struggling to say the word tomato properly, I get it.

That family came in a lot, though.  They loved their Taco Bell.

I want to open a fast food place that is unapologetically American.  I don't want the menu altered for the British palate.  I just want to make the foods we all know and love, and let the UK natives eat it or not.  I don't care whether or not they like it.  I just want it to exist for me.

They are back in stock at costco, so I’m safe!   ;D

There is one item that was hard for me to put in.  But I did it.

If it's still there when the box comes back...  I may just take it back!   ;D ;D ;D

If it was hard for you to put in, I expect it'll be gone before it gets to me, even.  But maybe it's something only you like.  Maybe.   [smiley=dizzy2.gif]
