I've given up on evangelizing for staples. "I don't like rice!" How can you not like rice? I get that you can not have an opinion because rice tastes like nothing but that's just it: there's nothing to not like. "I don't like the texture of hominy." I'm sorry, but did you just say that with a mouthful of sushi? Open a can, put some goddam velveeta on it and throw it in the microwave for 30 seconds. WaLA instant gourmet mac & cheese they'll charge you $18 for at Applebees. It's corn, people! Not to be confused with The Corn People, that's very different.

I would never say that all Mexicans are good cooks or that the best Mexican food is only cooked by people just in from Mexico, OR that gringos can't cook Mexican food well etc etc but Jesus: a nationally-recognized local restaurant once served me a bean burrito that, when I unrolled it to put some salsa in it, I could still see the rings from the tin can. And it was run by a not-remotely-Latina woman who could not be bothered to check spelling of those foreign words all over her menu. Eventually, she sold it off but only after 20 years of boring food and not caring. There's another place that people have told me about for years and years and I've eaten there a few times and been 100% underwhelmed every time. And they do the same thing: gringo-ize their food to such a degree that your grandma will rave about it, but not really care enough to actually spell those tricky words anything close to correctly.

In what’s sure to be a college student’s dream come true, drones will soon be delivering burritos on the campus of Virginia Tech.
The experimental service, to begin this month and last just a few weeks, is a test by Project Wing, a unit of Google’s parent company Alphabet Inc. Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. and the Blacksburg, Virginia, university have agreed to participate.
"It’s the first time that we’re actually out there delivering stuff to people who want that stuff,” said Dave Vos, who heads Project Wing.
Project Wingwill use self-guided hybrids that can fly like a plane or hover like a helicopter. They will make deliveries from a Chipotle food truck to assess the accuracy of navigation systems and how people respond.
The devices will hover overhead and lower the Chipotle edibles with a winch.
Part of the experiment will be to see how well the packaging protects the chow and keeps it warm. Food was selected as the demonstration cargo because it’s a challenge. The company is already at work on a more sophisticated second version of the aircraft that won’t be used in the tests, Vos said.
Before widespread deliveries can occur, companies will have to convince the FAA that drones can avoid each other and safely navigate to drop spots using robotic technology. The agency on Aug. 29 instituted broad new regulations for commercial drones. While companies hope the rules will clear the way for drone deliveries, they didn’t permit such flights initially.
the comments were funny and also discussed how to get more burrito for nothing. Amateurs, mostly. I have them hold most of the rice and put on about 4 cups of salsa.
