Who wants to make a bagillion dollars?
Ok seriously... I can't believe this...
I'm moving to England and opening a Mexican Restaurant. TK didn't know what a Burrito was. How many other of you Euro-types don't know what a friggin Chimichanga is? Taco? Enchilada?
Everyone else can take up the other countries... I'm pretty sure this is guaranteed millionaire status.

Chimichanga sounds like an Aztec god to me...
I know what a burrito is, I have even eaten them, however before you sell up and move I should warn you, I've seen the occasional mexican restaurant in the UK and they've failed to take over the market. Maybe the reason TK has never heard of a burrito is because people aren't that keen on Mexican food over here.

yeah Mexican food isn't very big here either, whilst most other foreign cuisines are.
But then again we could introduce Dutch/Belgian food to the US?
Some nice 'frieten met mayo' and some bitterballen would be nice.

When I was 21 I wrote a letter to Tacobell in the US asking for permission to start up a Swedish branch of that franchise. They denied me due to that Scandinavia wasnt a "primary marketing objective". I actually think it would hit. At least here in Sweden.
Bitterballen is translated from Swedish sort of what it sounds like in english "Bitterballs". i.e. The nuts of a man that in some way has became bitter over some incident. Would be wierd to eat. And I didnt know they actually had feelings of their own.

Taker, which beers have you tasted?
A few selections from Rochefort, Westmalle, Chimay, Boon, Hoegaarden, Witterkerke (sp?), Stille Nacht, Duvel, Lindemans to name a few. Plus Dragonmead Brewing Co (one of the only U.S. breweries to win medals at a Belgian Beer Cup), Redwood Lodge (Gold Medal at the Great American Beer Fest) and Jolly Pumpkin B.C. all made here in Michigan, theres a few others made here as well, and Unibroue from Canada is quite good.
Yes, I like beer. And no, not all Americans drink flavorless beers.
Even the well-traveled Michael Jackson, the British suds guru who may be the world's greatest expert on beer, singled out Michigan in a paean to the variety and excellence of American beers. "If anyone in Europe is as enthusiastic about big, bold, flavors as the Great Lakes," he wrote in an on-line column, "or as stout-hearted as Kalamazoo, it is an extraordinarily well-kept secret."

I don't think I can answer that. For Belgians, I do tend to prefer Tripel's. My wife prefers Lambic, esp Framboise. Of all styles, I think I like Porter best.Protput wrote: you guys just got an extra admirer! I can't believe you tasted it all! That's great!
