Taco’s

I have read over here that the actual content of beef is less than 40%.
I remember back in the mid-70’s when McDonnel’s opened their first Golden Arches in Vienna and advertised hamburgers with pure beef.. That got em going at food and health as pure beef must be 99% and McDonnels admitted up fron that their pure beef had 17% fat—to much at any rate.

This Taco thing is a bit different ..... less than 40% sheez call it any thing but beef.

Forget it tastes good or government interference or what ever ...

Do you think you can call something a beef when it has less that 40% beef content?

Jim

Do you mean beef as opposed to chicken?  I think everyone knows that a taco has more than one think in it.  Also beef fat is also beef according to most cattle I have met.  Actually I don’t cosider the matter important enough to reply to, so I’ll just delete it.

Concentrate John concentrate…... sheez I hope you can make it over here once again but I am getting my doubts….

If the only meat in it is beef, what do you call it, tuna?

Taco Bell says:

  * 88% USDA-inspected quality beef
  * 3-5% water for moisture
  * 3-5% spices (including salt, chili pepper, onion powder, tomato powder, sugar, garlic powder, cocoa powder and a proprietary blend of Mexican spices and natural flavors).
  * 3-5% oats, starch, sugar, yeast, citric acid, and other ingredients that contribute to the quality of our product.

The lawyers say:

the meat mixture contained just 35 percent beef, with the remaining 65 percent containing water, wheat oats, soy lecithin, maltodrextrin, anti-dusting agent and modified corn starch.

You believe the lawyers.
I will wait for the court verdict.

If I make it over there again (which I sincerely hope to do) we can go out and have some Leberkaes, even thought I don’t think it contains liver.  Anyway that a a good Pils would be wonderful.

John
It does not contain liver nor cheese.

But that was not the poll was it…..

And yes I know some places where we can get some really good Leberkäse

I guess your response means a “yes” or 3 or 4.

Yeah it’s tough to make a decision.

There is no “Ham” in a hamburger either. It seems you can call something that it is not easier than what it is not quite what it claims to be..

A taco Beef Taco would be correct. A beef Taco at 35% beef is fantasy especially if you know anything about Mexican cooking.

Be that as it may be, thank you all

“There is no “Ham” in a hamburger either.” Maybe because the sandwich was named for a city (Hamburg) not the content.
What is a “taco beef Taco”?
Your next mistake is thinking that Taco Bell sells Mexican food, which it doesn’t. It sells Tex-Mex food. Different cuisine all together.

So? It’s called a Hamburger not a HamburgBurger is it.#

Maybe you should learn how to read.

Yes, exactly. Hamburger not Hamburgburger.
See, you can be taught.

Maybe you should learn to say what you mean.

Sweet!  Looking forward to that.

Jim,
  What’s your beef with TacoBell? There should be a 5th poll button titled-Don’t give a shit what they call it.

Yes, John, that’s how a poll is rigged.

OH No! You mean honest Jim would actually try to manipulate the facts just to prove a point?

Do you think you can call something a beef when it has less that 40% beef content?

One thing is for certain the wingnuts of the forum and list have never achieved basic levels of comprehension.

Well done GUYZ
