Foolish people that they are, the correct spelling would then be BEAM-BEAUX

[muawiyah]

i'll eat authentic sturgeon caviar from Azerjaiban on a Mexican tortilla in a NY sec!

Following that up with a batch of sashimi ain't no thang!

You know that green paste ~ wasabi? Use it liberally. And that Sriracha ~ from California? That's currently the world's favorite antibiotic!

I won't eat nor drink anything that comes out of Mexican bakeries. Never have, never will. No tellin where those Mexian hands have been. I'd say they don't bother to wash their hands when their shifts start.

**************************************************

They wouldn't be made in Mexico. Bimbo is the largest US bakery. They have bakeries all over the US in almost every state. I'm sure you have already eaten many products they produce.

[kara37]

Are any of those made in Mexico?
***********************************

No

[Bigg Red]

I meant to say from Third World or corrupt countries. I will not buy produce from Mexico, South America, Africa, or China. When I buy seafood, I buy “wild caught USA”. Beer or tequila from Mexico? No, thanks

in rats ~

outstanding ~ what i've needed all my life ~ a guide to tortillas ~ and apparently i ate my way into the highest rated stuff anyway!

interesting!

[muawiyah]

The secret ~ according to friends from Bombay (mumbai) is to eat ONLY at the street food stands where they are actually cooking the food.

They warn that when you go to a restaurant ~ any restaurant ~ in India if you can't watch them cook the food you should leave immediately and go out into the streets to eat SAFE food.

All subtropical and tropical countries have this problem.

R C and a moon pie, or even better, NEHI GRAPE and a moon pie ~ particularly if you’ve been out in the Sun working hard! (SEE: Fort McClellan 1967 ~ summer ~ on a road somewhere)

Mexican company Bimbo may be eyeing Twinkies

Now about how the Mexican tortilla manufacturers are doing, they do Guerrero ~ no lard, no trans fats ~ no flour in their pure white corn tortillas.

Going to have to look for those in the stores since I'm on a low-carb (restricted) diet and flour is a definite no-no for me ...thanks!

[CrazyIvan]

They get $1 a bottle for the stuff in my town and it sells. Not much of a sweets person. Tastes like cola pancake syrup to me.

[Lazamataz]

There’s no better product than corn syrup.

You are insane. Corn syrup is the cause of diabetes and obesity in America.

Next, I will see you plugging Meitnerium as an essential nutrient source.

Bimbo also owns Arnold’s – IMO the best bread on the market, unless of course you bake your own.

Diabetes has its own causes, but if you want to cut the carbs ~ which you will with diabetes ~ when you develop it ~ and still eat something sweetened with sugar ~ say every 6 months or so ~ you will prefer fructose over sucrose every time.

If you eat barrels of any kind of sugar every day it won't matter whether you are diabetic or just nuts.

[muawiyah]

Corn still has the carbs ~ but all the other stuff domestic tortillas have in the mix can be a problem ~ i have a wheat gluten problem so my only interest is in non-wheat products, but these Guerrero tortillas are perfect for using in my small pie maker ~ and they taste the least like corn of any of them, plus NO triglycerides.

[usconservative]

plus NO triglycerides.

No matter what my diet lately, my bad cholesterol and triglyceride levels are always high. No triglycerides in their product is another bonus. I already have genetics working against me, I don't need to put food in my mouth that'll contribute to that problem. I'm already on pretty much a natural and whole foods diet and even that ain't working!

Indeed, it's an Alabama kind of thing.

Then, there is a GRAPETTE and a Moon Pie -- which is definitely an Arkansas kind of thing.

Why don’t we just surrender already! Flap that white flag! Just give everything we have to Mexico and stop the slow bleed!
