Food is confusing!
I recently learned about a bizarre "new" food which I'm torn between wanting to try, and decrying as an abomination. It's called a "walking taco," and apparently it - like so many delicacies - was developed at state fairs, 4H events, horse shows, and the like.
To make a walking taco, you just dump taco fixins (including spiced ground beef, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, and sour cream) into a mini deli bag of Doritos or Fritos. Presto, you got your walking taco. Is it revolting or delicious? Yes!
Walking tacos have caught on to the point that Lunchables is making their own version, and several upmarket food bloggers have created lavish photo essays on how to make your own walking taco, say for an ironic Super Bowl party with your hipster friends.
Part of my problem with the walking taco is that you are literally eating your food out of garbage. The bag is the part you throw away, it's not meant to be a container for your food. I can't quite get past this point.
The other part of my problem is that throwing taco filling into a bag of Doritos doesn't make it a taco!
