Authentic or not, "tacos," Tex-Mex," or whatever you want to call it/them are widely available in Swedish grocery stores today (apparently thanks to Kraft or some other big American food conglomerate), and I assume also available in Continental grocery stores. So the question is: Are Swedes adventurous eaters or am I wrong - a taco shell cannot beClaris Parnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07785435985145579734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-305321922721921295.post-14950285216250280172010-01-27T18:50:18.156+01:002010-01-27T18:50:18.156+01:00Just because American tex-mex fast food has come t...Just because American tex-mex fast food has come to Sweden doesnt mean its world-wide.

That’s why I kind of lumped it all together as “taco.” (In that sense, I have “gone native”!) But I still find it a little surprising that with all these “new-fangled” wraps, tortillas, etc., that a Continental teenager hadn’t a clue how to eat the thing. <br /><br /Claris Parnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07785435985145579734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-305321922721921295.post-40789785499277180282010-01-27T18:43:52.404+01:002010-01-27T18:43:52.404+01:00What I wonder is why should Swedish style "Ta...What I wonder is why should Swedish style "Tacos" be universal? What you are describing, a soft flour tortilla wrapped around a filling isnt even a Taco as I remember them from Calafornia. Its a burito. Taco shells are deep fried and crispy.

If it wasnt meant as a joke then I think you're becoming too "Swedish". <br /><Hilarienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-305321922721921295.post-62121110062551941712010-01-21T01:32:43.911+01:002010-01-21T01:32:43.911+01:00I remember living in French House in college and l...I remember living in French House in college and learning from our foreign exchange students that French people don't eat peanut butter because peanuts are "for pigs" (i.e., animal feed).
