Tbf, after something gets me into urgent care, Taco Bell would bring me great emotional comfort.

Oh man, I figured that was most of the joke. Is everyone just like "huh, weird phrasing but I'll roll with it?"

Dear god people, get actual Mexican food from an actual food truck or local restaurant, its gonna be way tastier, way healthier, way more actual food, and probably the same price or cheaper.

If you live anywhere in the US with a population over 10k, I can almost guarantee you can find such a place.

Taco Bell is such fucking terrible food rofl.

[-] Sergio@slrpnk.net 2 points 11 months ago

It's not either/or, people can like both.

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago

They can, but Taco Bell food just is less healthy, and lately, broadly not even cheaper.

I've said it before and I will say it again... As someone who loves genuine Mexican food (possibly my favorite type of food in existence), I also sometimes crave Taco Bell. I just don't confuse the two.

Sometimes I'm in the mood for Taco Bell specifically, and it's a different craving than for actual Mexican food.

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago

Its because Taco Bell food is, as compared to a decent hole in the wall, or mexican food truck:

Higher in sodium.

Higher in carbohydrates.

Higher in saturated fat.

Good chance the tortilla/taco shell is also higher in corn syrup.

Also, good chance they use a more varied selection of vegetables/peppers/pico de gallo, which augment flavor (and mouthfeel) without a high calorie sauce.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago

You seem to have missed the point of my comment... I refuse to directly compare Taco Bell to actual Mexican food.

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I was explaining why you likely consider them to have different taste profiles and thus think of them as incomparable, having cravings or desires for them in seperate mental categories.

There are similar differences between say, a McDonalds burger and fries, and burgers and fries from a local grill or pub or what not.

(Though, with burgers and fries, the fastfood versions generally still are generally cheaper, though that gap is closing fast in the US rn)
