burritos- life’s pleasures wrapped in a tortilla
Friday, February 13th, 2009I love eating. It’s amazing that we need to eat to live, considering most things that you need to do suck. Take homework, for example. Every child over the age of eight hates and complains about it. But when lunch time comes around, everyone is excited to eat. I’ve always found it amazing that zoo pals and kid cuisine make any money from “turning mealtime into fun time”, because if I’m eating kid cuisine, I probably lost a bet. The only thing that makes mealtime more fun is good food. That, of course, is where our good friend Mr., or should I say Sñr., Burrito comes in. I mean, come on. EVERYBODY loves a good burrito, except people in Asia because they have egg rolls and aren’t anywhere near Mexico or any other Latin country. But despite that, the burrito is the perfect food to eat on the go. It’s an easier way to enjoy meat, beans, rice, and salsa than to carry a bunch of plastic bags. This concept was quickly ruined by the wrap, a nasty excuse for food. Here’s the problem with wraps: the terrible tortilla and mayo. I made a quick graph about it:
Notice the y axis. Here we have the taste rating. The top is the highest with “delectably scrumptious”, followed by “damn good”, then “good”, and lastly, “somewhat edible”(as the intersection of the x and y axis).
For the x axis we go by type of wrapped food. (from left to right) burrito in Mexico, burrito in America, taco bell “burrito”, and lastly, any chicken wrap.
As you can see, wraps taste terrible, gross, and just plain bad, but are somewhat edible. Burritos, on the other time, are maxed out on the chart.
So let this long blog post be a lesson to all of you, and remember next time that you are eating a burrito that you hold the key to the lost tombs of Egypt.
