This is how I feel after asking the Taco Bell drive thru person if I could please have some hot sauce packets, then I get home and see she gave me two packets. TWO. I ordered 5 ITEMS

That or sometimes they forget to include napkins, straws, and other utensils.

I once ordered some cajun rice from Popeyes and those fucks didn't include the usual spork + napkin pack.  This was my dinner during a three hour drive!  I was so irate!!! :maf :maf :maf

At taco bell I always have to say "lots of salsa, all of them" and then I watch them and if I see them try to stiff me I'll ask for more again.  fuck that.  Taco bell is just not the same without salsa.

The worst is when I said "give me the hottest sauce you have" and they gave me that "fire" shit. Oh man that stuff ruins anything you put it on. So nasty  :yuck

ok well that was my fault, but they could have warned me yo

fire sauce isnt even hot- there isnt a real hot sauce at taco bell tbh
Title: Re: People could try a little harder
Post by: Mupepe on January 30, 2012, 04:56:20 PM
Nope.  None of them are hot. 

Fire is gross by itself, but mix one packet of hot/mild with one packet of fire and fire is all of a sudden delicious.  The salsas taste good but none are spicy.
Title: Re: People could try a little harder
Post by: Phoenix Dark on January 30, 2012, 04:57:41 PM
Yea, the hot sauce isn't hot but I like the taste more than the other ones. My dad thinks it's way too hot though, but he thinks mustard is spicy so yea...

This is now the Taco Bell is Decent Mexican Food |OT2|. Carry on.

Also, does anyone else mix hot sauce into their cheese sauce? The regular cheese sauce is meh and a packet of hot sauce makes it so much better, I kinda wonder why they don't just sell it like that to begin with. It seems like such an obvious fix, they could do that for me instead of forcing me to spend 30 seconds stirring it up myself with a chip.

Dude

One time when I was young my mom made us do a shiiiit ton of yard work, and promised she'd make us a big lunch as payment. My dad was helping us, but it still took a few hours. So after we finished we washed up and entered the kitchen to eat; my mom made mild Italian sausages and said she forgot to get the spicy sausages. So we're all eating and my dad puts some mustard on his sausage, takes a bit, then starts coughing.

Dad: I thought you said you didn't get spicy sausage!
Mom: They're all mild...
Dad: But why is this spicy, I can't eat this  :'(

So he takes a bite of another sausage that doesn't have any mustard on it and lo and behold, no problem. TO THIS DAY he pretends like this never happened, and he became one of those "lol mustard on sausage/hot dogs? LAWL" people to compensate.

 :lol :lol

WTF.  I always thought black people had a high tolerance for spice but that is ridiculous. 

I have a friend who can't eat ketchup because it's too spicy.  But I think it's more closely linked to the fact that his mom used to make him drink vinegar as a punishment. 
Title: Re: People could try a little harder
Post by: Barry Egan on January 30, 2012, 06:36:16 PM
if you eat a gob of dijon mustard I think you would agree it has some kick to it.  It's understandable at least. Calling ketchup spicy on the other hand is totally baffling.  Without even knowing the person I agree that only trauma could warp a mans taste buds that severely.

If anything, ketchup is overly sweet.

I have something wrong with my tongue so if I eat anything spicy, it swells up for a day or more. :( My sister and dad have the same tongue thing but they can eat spicy food (they can only use one type of toothpaste and other oddities though). No Mexican food, no brats, definitely limits my Asian food choices. Fucking robbed.  :'( I can eat ketchup but if I eat too much at one time, my tongue feels like shit for the rest of the day.

And not just spicy foods... Anything sour, citrus, or with tons of food coloring. I can barely drink OJ now and would eat Jolly Ranchers as a kid while hating myself.

I must admit if I went to Taco Bell and the guy in front of me kept saying "OH MAN I love cheesy gordita crunches don't you?!" I'd be all freaked out. Then I'd drive home and post about how awesome cheesy gordita crunches are

In New York most chinese places offer "sesame chicken" which is prepared identically to general tso's but with a sweeter, milder sauce.  I don't know if it's just a regional thing though.

I came home and made him cook me General Tso's.  :lol We just renewed our expired Sam's Club card, so the first thing we got was 2 huge boxes of frozen Tso's. You have to buy and add your own red peppers if you want them, so we just leave them out completely for my sake.

God bless you, Sam Walton.

Is there a set recipe for General Tso's chicken? I feel like every restaurant has a noticeably different recipe for it, unrelated to anything.

Chinese restaurants around DC do the same thing, sometimes calling it "sesame honey chicken" so it's probably one of the standards.

Sometimes he's mild mannered and we can hang. Other times he's a fiery bastard out to crush my Tso's craving soul.

Around here, most places' sauce tastes about the same, just with more or less peppers, and with no way of knowing until you order. There's a really good place by the house that has people specify the desired amount of spiciness when you order. :bow2

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/the-daily-meal/taco-bell-first-meal_b_1259948.html?ref=food

This week, Taco Bell rolled out its long-awaited breakfast menu at 750 locations in 10 states across the country. The Tex-Mex titan of fast food, whose parent company is Yum! Brands Inc., spent the past five years developing the 11-item menu, known as "First Meal."

Slideshow: Reviewing Taco Bell's New 'First Meal' Breakfast Menu

Breakfast menus have a long and storied history in the American fast-food industry. In 1971, McDonald's introduced the first Egg McMuffin. In 1977, they officially unveiled their entire breakfast menu. Today, most McDonald's locations start serving breakfast around 6:00 a.m., and a host of other fast-food chains (Jack in the Box, Carl's Jr., Burger King, Wendy's, and even Starbucks and Subway) have been slow but sure to follow suit in delivering the "most important meal of the day." The one major fast-food chain to hold off on this trend, until now, has been Taco Bell, a seemingly natural addition to the breakfast bandwagon (Photo Credit: Andy Sweat).


 Slideshow: Reviewing Taco Bell's New Cantina Bell Menu

But all you late-night "Fourth Meal"-ers won't have to wait any longer -- your "First Meal" has arrived (does that technically make it five meals a day?). The options include a Johnsonville Sausage and Egg Wrap, two larger burritos (the Grande Skillet costs $2.79 and the Steak and Egg costs $1.99), two smaller $0.99 burritos (Bacon and Egg, Sausage and Egg), a hash brown, a quartet of Cinnabon Delights (fried dough balls with cream filling), fresh-brewed Seattle's Best Coffee (hot, iced, and flavored); and Tropicana Orange Juice.

Slideshow: How to Order Mexican Without Sounding Estúpido

So what are early reviewers saying about Taco Bell's "First Meal" launch? In the following slideshow, three different types of avowed Los Angeles-based fast-food connoisseurs tested every item on the menu and gave their honest opinions.

Judge number one is what some would call a "fast-foodie," a connoisseur of all things drive-thru, the kind of person who would name their first child Mickey, and their second child Dee. Judge number two is the "breakfast-on-the-run" type, that friend of yours who's always apologizing for stray McMuffin wrappers when you get in their car. And judge number three is the "health nut," the health-conscious provider and parent who recognizes the time-saving benefits of fast food, but also knows the risks.

Nutritional facts are included with each item, but reviews were primarily limited to taste.

I like how the 'Health Nut' response only brings up multigrain when they actually hit an item the first two comments like:

Yes, halfway through my third-year.

The Canadian market isn't over-saturated with recent law school grads (I did my part) like the US.
