Pete Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I thought I'd take up the offer in Somerfield today of a discounted packet of Old El Paso Taco meal kit. That's something I've never tried I thought, they're always on about them in American movies, let's give it a go. So I cooked them up, warmed the crispy pancake jobbies in the oven and prepared them to look exactly like on the packet. Lovely! I took one bite and the damn thing exploded spilling its contents all over me. The shattered remains of the taco violently flicked upwards as I bit through it showering cooked mince all over my beige rug. How on Earth are you meant to eat these damn things?

Pete Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 ..with a knife and fork? Poking a knife into these things would be akin to sticking a sword into a hand grenade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sted Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Don't know but if you work it out can you let us know. We had them the other night and the first couple were ok but as they got soggy they were impossible to deal with Still great though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 If you roll a sock over it, you can either: eat it normally, rolling the sock down bit by bit, or smack it with a shoe, then empty the debris out and eat with a spoon. HTH [edit] I think I've worked out why Lucy never wants to go out for a meal anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl_S Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Eat them quicky as possible, as if they were radioactive, and to neutralise them they need your saliva, and finally to be shoved into your gut. I lick the inside of it, scooping the contents out with my tougue, and swallowing almost without chewing, like I was doing the planet a favour.
