Frijoles licuados are the best frijoles (beans):
Yes. Those are godlike.

Simple steak tacos are the best. And wet burritos and enchiladas. Ugh... homerdrool.gif
Yes!

I was in Mexico two weeks ago. The food was amazing.

Re Taco Bell Taco bell is pretty awful, an I say this mostly because real Mexican food is easily one of the top two or three best cuisines on the planet. The only imitation Mexican food I can handle is Chipotle, because despite being completely different from actual Mexican food, it's still got fresh ingredients and tastes phenomenal for fast food. Of course there are morphologies of Mexican food that have evolved in America such as California burritos (huge burritos with avocado, potatos and steak) which are good as well, but I digress.
Taco Bell as Del Taco are both shit. The cheese on their nachos and burritos doesn't even taste like fake cheese it tastes like fake butter, and the "meat" is like a wet slop of marinated paper clippings.
Real Mexican food - 10/10
Taco Bell - 2/10
Subway is subpar in America and even worse in Japan. In Japan it's even more flavorless and keeps you full for all of 10 fucking minutes. At least you can get them to pile and pile the veggies in the US. In Japan they just tell you "I'm sorry, there's no excuse for this..." and proceed to ignore your requests.
Fuck me I miss In n Out, Chipotle and Submarina. And most of all Mexican food.
I disagree
I fucking love mexican food, but taco bell is good for a quick fix, the volcano sauce is amazing. Again I think English taco bell is actually better than the American version although it won't be around long.
Bar burrito and chipotle are also pretty awesome but I always go for a hot but smooth salsa and loads of sour cream. My favourite American chain of Mexicans that I tried is moes their hot salsa is heavenly.
I love making enchiladas at home as well.
I didn't enjoy Mexican food much in Mexico funnily enough just like I love Indian but didn't like it in India, funny how we prefer western versions or world cuisine.

No idea what a Parmo is but I ordered a Chicken Kebab & Chips. Aww yeah.

Moes was awesome (the one I went to anyway)
I love how Sunderland has its own national dish do all the takeaways do it?
I could go for a kebab right now but making chicken wraps
It's actually 'from' Middlesbrough. Most takeaways in the north east do them tho.
I think they prefer pork Parmos in Boro but it's chicken up here.
Maybe if Man City unload Tevez they'll get him. I think that's a good price considering his age and talent.
Higuain is WC, I really love him. I dunno, why would he leave Madrid for any team anyway? But if he's looking for playing time I guess?No worries. You can lose it all and then become our coach and lead us to glory.
Common Conte
All this talk of Higuain leaving Madrid makes me wonder if Marotta has something planned. We've been linked with him for what feels like ages, and he's definitely the killer striker we need. Here's hoping! Sorry Madrid fans, but we'll treat him well if he comes here. You can see him on odd weeks.
Coaching Juve? I promise I'm going to use all three subs early!
And strip Gio of his 10 shirt
Great, more fuel to the fire. I hope we fucking crush them. CRUSH THEM!
I've never even seen one over here.

Yay! Both advancing our lives at the same time! Come to Chicago!
I don't know what a Parmo is (sounds delicious) but I got a Great Potato Pizza waiting at home. For those who don't know (everyone, a local parlor), This is a pizza that substitutes mashed potatoes for pizza sauce. It is delicious and terrible for you.
I know what Halal means but what specifically is sold off these carts?
Chicken breast, fried in bread crumbs with bechamel sauce and cheeses on top. I've ordered Jalapenos and ground spicy beef on mine. hnnnngh
Was not a fan of Mexican food until recently working at a Mexican takeway joint.
Quesadillas and Burritos!
Jizz! Great thing is that I can really vouch for this food having been one of the grill hands.
Good Mexican food is actually pretty hard to find. I've suffered through some pretty crappy Burritos...

Awesome is full of it, Moe's is SUPREME!
I love Chipotle and Qdoba is good as well, but neither of them are anywhere near as good as Moe's IMO.. the seasoning on the meat is just fantastic. Sadly, Moe's has fallen on hard times in recent years and closed a lot of stores. None left in Austin but whenever I go home to my folks (Orlando), I make it a point to get Moe's at least once.I usually get tacos rather than burritos these days as they're quite prevalent here in Texas. There is a local burrito joint here (Cabo Bob's) that is fucking amazing though.. maybe I'll go there for dinner tonight.
Closer to Derrick Rose.

^^I like fresh baked corn tortillas. Just amazing
I'm from Cleveland and am moving to Chicago because that is where my girlfriend is going to grad school.
I'd say Moe's falling on hard times provides evidence that my opinion of Moe's is accurate.

Have you popped the question yet? also even if it doesn't work out Chicago is a beautiful city so is a good move.
My friend who is a Toon fan lives in Redcar and he always goes on about these!

Now I am home I am looking in to City's Nike sponsorship.
Financial Times reports it's worth £26m a year
Telegraph reports it's worth £12m a year
Who to believe?

City's deal with Nike is around the £12m a year mark apparently. Nothing spectacular then.
Edit - Ah, dc says it could be as much as £26m. I personally doubt it can be that high. Nike wouldn't pay more for City's shirts than they do Barcelona. It wouldn't make any business sense.
Gaitan's agent says his client would love to play for United. It's starting to look like his agent is desperately trying to get Gaitan a move. Do. Not. Want.

Going to New York in the summer. CAN'T WAIT!
By the way, as far as burrito recommendations for London.. we went to a little place called Poncho 8 near Old Spitalfield's Market and it was pretty darn tasty. The shop itself is insanely tiny but there's room for a few seats. Mostly takeaway there though. My brother works at Allen & Overy nearby so we all decided to give it a shot and we were all pleasantly surprised.
We had Chipotle on a different day and the rice was a little off (a bit on the hard side) but overall it was pretty decent. You could tell it was mostly Americans there as about half the people were wearing sweatshirts and the like for different colleges, hah.

I was reading that piece linked to earlier by the Swedish Chef or whatever his name was (quite thorough and interesting) and I think he said Umbro was already paying £10m a year and the team started a 10 year deal with them in 2009. I can't imagine they're only getting an extra £2m a year.. it would presumably have to be a much bigger jump to make the trade worthwhile.
Edit: Here we go, this is what the Swiss Ramble said:
Umbro were already paying £20m a year (or set to) actually so the £26m is the only reasonable number I'd guess.

Yeah just saw the article. Not much to go on really either way. I just can't see why Nike would pay more than they do to Barca and similar to what they paid United this year when, for now, City's shirt sales are very minor compared to those two.
Liverpool sell a whole lot of shirts. Comfortably in the top 5 in the world.
Switching to Nike for greater exposure alone would be worthwhile for a club like City.
Here's what a lot of people get.
Meat (chicken or lamb), rice and salad covered with a red hot sauce and white yogurt sauce.
But they also have a number of other platters and items as well.
:O I didn't think of it that way, how stupid of me. Long day at work I guess.
That sounds fantastic, I vote for expanding it to the rest of the UK.
I don't think there's a Chipotle round here yet, they have one in London though. Already decided that's where I'm going if I'm anywhere nearby next time I'm in London.
And this post has made me want nachos. Since I don't have any nachos, BBQ Kettle chips will have to do.

It is possible, just I don't think that would be a starting figure. It could reach £26m perhaps based on City's performance on the pitch and depending on how many shirts they shift each year.
For now Real Madrid top the list, their new deal with Adidas will be worth £28.5m. I think United earned about £26.5m from Nike this year.
It's a shame it's (probably) really bad for you. Luckily I only had half a bag of tortilla chips left.

Copenhagen has hired busses around Denmark that will pick people up for free and drive them directly to the stadium. Awww yeah free transport, they really want all the support they can get for the last matches.

Parmos are pretty good. Barely ever seen them in Newcastle though, got one in Sunderland before though. Not quite as good as Boro folk make out but I've never tried one from Middlesbrough...yet!

Went on a cruise two weeks ago with aforementioned girlfriend
No, and agreed. We've discussed getting married, but we aren't quite ready for it yet. Another year or so. And yes, I love Chicago, been going there almost every year since we moved away when I was 5.
New York is amazing and overwhelming in a good way. You'll love it!
That explains a lot.
