So I went to Taco Bell after my Martial Arts class today and got this mad bangin' enchilada thing. I bring it home, and begin to sink my teeth into its ripe entrails of goodness devouring every trace of its once bountiful existence when I though to myself "Hey...I wonder if other countries can enjoy such simple delicate pleasures as these?". So, basically, are there Taco Bells in England, Canada, or other such places in Europe? If you dont, than thats sad, because this thing is dang good. If not the Bell, are there any other Mexican equivalencies that you dig?

Concerning taco's.... Man this thing is good...

I'm going to say this once: Taco Bell is not Mexican food. It's a mass-produced, Americanized version of the fully Texicanized version of Mexican food (Tex-Mex, if prepared well, can be very good, but that doesn't make it true Mexican food, making Taco Bell at least twice removed). You can call boiled, cabbage-wrapped goat testicles ham if you want, but they're not ham, even if you pound them into something that vaguely resembles a ham in appearance.
If you realize that it's not supposed to be Mexican food (or don't realize that there's a difference), then Taco Bell may be OK. I personally don't care for it much and rank it down with McDonalds and company (which is pretty low).

That's why I don't eat anything with there grade E beef.
Although, I knew someone who found cricket eggs in there taco bell. That's why I always check mine before I eat it. However, I still buy it fairly often.

Taco Bell exists over here on the Canuckistanian wet coast, although it isn't as common as a lot of other fast food franchises.
As for eating it myself, I think I've had Taco Bell...twice in my life? Something like that. If I'm going to eat fake Mexican food, I'll either make tacos myself or go to a decent restaurant.

*shivers*... Fast food...eeewwwww....sorry guys, but Taco Bell, along with anyother fast food franchiese is not worth my time or money...I could get something 10 times better and 10 times healthier if I made it myself. GAH!! Fast food...the only places that I eat that could be considered fast food are places like Subway, Port of Subs and the like...and for the love of god please don't quote commercials.
Can you imagine if I was deranged?

I'd rather not, since its a 7+ hour drive home when I want to go home, oftentimes fast food is the only decent alternative. Especially since 95% of it is through rural areas.
Though, I don't like Taco Bell anyway.

I didn't understand a word of that...
We don't have Taco Bell here, and from what I hear, that's a good thing...

Howdy and welcome to Trash Talk. Hope you noticed the "Point of No Return" signs out front. Course, if you didn't it's a little late now...
