Now that I found out about the "California Burrito" with French Fries in it ...

They kind of do pull it off.

As a Californian, I initially thought who the hell thinks we eat this? We definitely don't. I only learned about it from people writing about it.

That said, a Sandwiche Americain is something we found in France that no American ever came up with. It's a whole baguette stuffed with steak and fries, maybe some mayo sauce. Okay, these foods compliment each other and when you're traveling, sometimes an absurd amount of food is just what you need.

@GayDeceiver Authentic Mexican street tacos have fried potatoes in them, so it's not as far fetched as it sounds.

Where I live you can get a "London Pizza", which is chips and garlic sauce on a cheese pizza.

Apologies to any Italian reading this toot.

@PetraPhoenix @GayDeceiver In Aberdeen in the early 2000s we used to get a deep fried pizza supper, it was £2 I think and fed 2 students who had just been surfing in the north sea with plenty to spare, it was a thing to behold.

Wat…? As a Californian and eater of many burritos I can say that ain’t normal. Yeah you can put anything you want in a burrito and potatoes are often in vegetarian burritos, but french fries sounds like something that was a one off menu item in a CalMex fusion restaurant.

@PetraPhoenix @GayDeceiver That sounds disgusting but also amazing

@GayDeceiver Breakfast burritos usually have potatoes in them, are fries so different?

[mespique@mastodon.social]

@BillSaysThis @GayDeceiver

Br... Breakfast burritos???!!!

[billsaysthis@curmudgeon.cafe]

@mespique @GayDeceiver Indeed!

@BillSaysThis @GayDeceiver

we have gone too far.

@mespique @BillSaysThis @GayDeceiver wait until you find out about breakfast tacos

[ad_infinitum@mastodon.social]

@GayDeceiver potato tacos are really good. not french fries, but same ballpark.

[kanamauna@sauropods.win]

@BillSaysThis @GayDeceiver OMG, yes. Proper breakfast burritos have hashbrowns in it. Need that crunchiness to offset the squishy eggs and salsa. Plus you can cook them on the same skillet.

@arichtman @KanaMauna @GayDeceiver

In Texas Mexican (and Tex-Mex), fried potatoes in tacos and burritos is perfectly normal.

@pwloftus ahh, in Pittsburgh we had Primanti’s. “Famed” for fries in the sammich.

[pwloftus@pwl.farted.net]

@godofbiscuits Did they stay crispy?

[godofbiscuits@sfba.social]

@pwloftus well, the fries aren’t like McD’s fries. I’d say they did keep up the texture, tho (a few loose fries were always there when you got the sammich so you could compare). And that with vinegar-based Cole slaw also on it.
