Fish tacos are arguably the best there is.
Technically, and as the term is used in Mexico, a taco is a corn tortilla
filled with absoulutely anything. If it is a flour tortilla, it is a
burrito.
There's a social position implied with those insisting on flour tortillas
somehow 'getting above their raising'.
I've never been a picky eater. But the one of the very best tacos I ever had
was some sort of green fried stuff. On the third taco I got around to ask
what it was. The answer was "escoria". I didn't know the word so after
quizzing the taco vendor the explanation emerged that 'escoria' means 'pond
scum'.
Ha, I thought, I wonder what is really in it since foods in Mexico often have
cute metaphorical names. Nope. Pond scum.
I ordered up a couple more.
