3x how do you fill your taco?
Elke let you know for a while with her ‘Let's taco ‘bout it’ T-shirt that she is a huge Team Taco fan. And so Truffle Tuesday has recently gained a huge competitor in the editorial office: Taco Tuesday. I understand Elke, because I find nothing more fun than filling a table with delicious goodies that you can use to fill your own plate. It reminds me of when I was a child and asked my mother when we would play restaurant again. Isn't that the most fun? According to Elke, you really participate only when you put the taco filling in the soft variant, and I completely agree with that. Because I have a huge trauma from those hard shells; they ALWAYS break. As a child, I always left the broken little case behind, and then the fun was over.
Nowadays, I use large leaves of iceberg lettuce or green cabbage as tacos. Less heavy, and you immediately get an extra portion of vitamins. So plenty of choices. Today, I'm filling it with an original Mexican filling. What will it be next week?
