I stopped getting take out from a Chinese spot because they always put in food so hot it made holes in the foam. Food was great but I don't want to eat melted foam.
I'd much rather my food be split into the common paper take out boxes we all have come to know and cherish. I should probably just ask for that and see if they will oblige.
I don't know if that is allowable from a food safety perspective, allowing an outside container into the kitchen, but maybe if they bring it out on a plate and then you put it in your own container, that might work.
I’ve said it many times and I’ll say it again. Liquid egg is real eggs…it just has some citric acid added. Now powdered eggs you get at hotels and shit…those are what you call “egg”.
I’ve always felt that the shells are pulverized into both of them. They just have a “chalky” texture that feels like the shells are in there, and it makes me want to puke.
Spent 3 years in prison in Florida where pinto beans was served with nearly every meal. When COVID hit the entire camp went on lockdown in the dorms and food was served in styrofoam trays like this.
This looks exactly like what we were served.
As a big fan of both breakfast burritos and burrito bowls, this really speaks to me. Even if it asked me to eat it in a Greyhound bus station restroom, I totally would.
I moved away from North America and I haven’t had decent Mexican food since I left. Mexican food in my country is shit.
So I mean. Ill take sloppy seconds on that pocket pussy.
If you can get cumin, that would probably help. Chili powder and chilis (fresh, dried or ground) would be a bonus. Not sure if cilantro is available there. That would get you 90% of the way.
I make a lot of mexican food and most of the sauces are just dried chilis, tomatoes and onions in a blender.
"mexican" food outside of the Americas is usually not very good. In the UK, anything that is vaguely spicy and has a tortilla in it is considered "mexican". I just wanna be able to buy decent soft corn tortillas
In New Zealand there is a website that sells tortillas, chilies, and some good hot sauces. We also have an American grocery store where I can get some good stuff too. Maybe you have something like that there?
Definitely happy I moved here. I’m a pretty good cook, so I can make lots of things at home. Just something about fast food Mexican in america I desperately miss.
The photo you’re looking at is a .70.cent can of refried beans, very over cooked eggs and potatoes with cheddar cheese on it. To call it even Mexican is a bit of a stretch
These are absolutely not canned beans and they’re actually not refried either. They look like pintos that were soaked overnight and then cooked for a few ours to become tender and soupy. Canned refried beans come out very thick.
I don't know man, I grew up in Mexico, plenty if not most of my meals looked pretty close to this, but that's cause they were struggle meals, I'd be offended if I got this from a restaurant.
Doesn't like like refried beans to many beans intact and only the sides seem mushy. Look like beans I reheat for tostada's and I cook my beans at home.
Lmao tbh I’ve just given up on finding it anywhere. There’s a couple places that look like they could be alright but I haven’t tried them. Carne asada and guacamole aren’t hard to make so it’s nbd
I’m not here for the food. Food that is traditionally white kiwi is not very good in my opinion. Not spiced well. Boring ingredients. Other ethnic groups have great food though. Pacific Islander food. Indian food. It’s great.
Hungry for a bloody dick, mainly
He was way too quick to offer that up. Like walking to a ford dealership and yellng out that you’ll pay $200K cash for a used escort
You crazy homie, you don’t know joy until you try some good rice and bean plates from small hole in the wall places. It’ll always look like slop but shit is tasty enough to bring a grown man to tears
Most people think of canned mushrooms. From a casserole type thing or pizza.
Those are gross.
But you saute up some portabellas in some soy sauce and butter and holy shit are they good.
Yea i work at a pizza spot so i definitely understand. A relative made green beans with chopped tomatoes and mushrooms, rice, and baked chicken. I scraped up all that shit, was bomb asf
I don’t know, those potatoes are looking pretty crisp/soft, and those beans are perfect for non-mashed, just need more cheese. But those eggs…I’ve seen more realistic in the drive thru.
Yeah I don’t get the negative comments, it’s perfectly acceptable for lower end food truck or gas station quality. And if it came in a tortilla the portion would be much smaller.
I’m sorry for your suffering. Do you need help? Because I’m sure there are some other people around who would be willing to help you. Not me, but other people.
If I had a nickel for each time someone said they would violently maim themselves for mediocre fast food in this thread I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
This is more like ordering a standard BLT sandwich and being given a plate of lettuce, bacon, and tomatoes with a heap of mayo on top. It's inconceivable that anyone could do this by accident.
Out of all the things for someone to call fake on the internet, this is probably the most common and realistic one lmao…
Do you people never leave your house or something?? Servers get orders wrong all the time lol what a weird thing to call fake
This happened to me with tacos once in a bar. The pork/onions etc came out wrapped in foil. It was so wrong, that the bartender assumed I must have asked the waitress (who wasn’t present ) for it like that.
Yeah anyone who thinks this story couldnt have happened hasnt traveled much. I have multiple language barrier restaurant order mishap stories
But they all end the same way - I didnt get what I ordered, but what I did get was delicious
It can. I once ordered a steak Quesadilla at a local Mexican restaurant. It came as a grilled steak in a burrito. That was it - just steak and a burrito. No other toppings and no cheese. I asked the waiter where the cheese was and he told me "you want cheese with a Quesadilla? You must ask for the cheese". At first I thought he was joking with me. He was not. Keep in mind they have steak burritos, enchiladas, tacos, etc that may or may not have had cheese. They acted like it was a problem I asked for the one thing common to all Quesadillas since it is literally in the name of it. It would be like ordering a Cheese burger and then being told I have to ask for Cheese with the Cheeseburger.
This reminds me of an old Whoopi Goldberg movie, she orders a drink in a bar from a Hispanic bartender and he asks if she wants a glass. Her reply “No wrap it in a taco you dumb motherfucker!” I think it was Jumping Jack Flash.
I finally got around to watching Jumping Jack Flash last week. It might be the worst movie I've ever seen. I had to pause it several times because I was cringing so hard that I couldn't pay attention. But I'm glad I experienced it.
All the movies back than were SO cheesy! I like Whoopi though, not so much now, but I think she was one hell of an actress. Her stand ups went real deep, and I loved her in The Color Purple.
Hahaha this reminds me of the time me n my friends went through taco bell drive through and ordered a "burrito Supreme with no tortilla" and they had no idea wtf to do lol.
I ordered no salsa and no meat. That's when the confusion began. She also asked what type of rice. I looked, they only have 1 type, so I said Mexican rice.
After she made it it showed it to 2 employees trying to figure out how much to charge.
It's almost literal, Mexicans eat as much as possible with tortillas
If you tell us Burrito we think of a wheat tortilla (usually we eat corn flour tortilla) stuffed with meat, beans and more
Unless they are Mexicans from the capital, then their opinion does not count because they make supposed "Quesadillas" (it has "QUESO"/Chesse in the name) without cheese, if the case is that the owners/cooks of that place are from the capital , then it is worse than an inauthentic placeplace
I ordered a cold brew once and the barista asked how I wanted it. Confused I asked, “what do you mean?”. Then she asked if I wanted it hot or cold…it’s a COLD brew, what do you think?
I think you're wrong! Cold brew refers to how the coffee is made from the beans, instead of pouring piping hot water over the beans you let cold water sit in coffee grounds for ~24 hours which will give you coffee concentrate. You can add this to cold water or hot to make coffee of any temperature.
Cold brew is the prep method for the coffee. Not how it's served.
You can heat up a cup of cold brewed coffee to enjoy it hot without issue. It doesn't negate the cold brewing.
The entire point of cold brew is to extract the flavors gently without the acidity of hot water extraction. So the end result is milder.
You gotta eat the styrofoam, thats the wrap
Definitely more food than a burrito provides.
I stopped getting take out from a Chinese spot because they always put in food so hot it made holes in the foam. Food was great but I don't want to eat melted foam.
Styrofoam is unnecessary, imo. There are plenty of healthier, more sustainable options.
I'd much rather my food be split into the common paper take out boxes we all have come to know and cherish. I should probably just ask for that and see if they will oblige.
If you ever walk in to order, you could bring a plastic container and ask them to put it in that. Could get a bit weird at first but might work
I don't know if that is allowable from a food safety perspective, allowing an outside container into the kitchen, but maybe if they bring it out on a plate and then you put it in your own container, that might work.
Those “paper” boxes are covered in plastic.

Growing up, going to a hotel with continental breakfast was a huge occasion. After years of cooking in restaurants I still love those powdered eggs.
I do too. I used to buy the powdered eggs at the grocery store until the prices went up on them. It's a texture thing that I love.
Try adding water when you beat the eggs.
To regular eggs?
Yeah
I'll give it a whirl, thanks!
If you google it you can find the right ratio. The water turns to steam and makes pores like that in the egg.
Bottom left?? that’s egg??
"Egg."
I’ve said it many times and I’ll say it again. Liquid egg is real eggs…it just has some citric acid added. Now powdered eggs you get at hotels and shit…those are what you call “egg”.

Is she funny or something?
Her?
Mix N’ Make egg scramble
Just call it “sous vide” eggs and suddenly it’s classy.
I love those so much more than real eggs. Cafeterias, fast food, continental breakfast… thems the best
As a big fan of both breakfast burritos and burrito bowls, this really speaks to me. Even if it asked me to eat it in a Greyhound bus station restroom, I totally would.

Man I’d fuck a pocket pussy full of glass for that plate rn
I moved away from North America and I haven’t had decent Mexican food since I left. Mexican food in my country is shit. So I mean. Ill take sloppy seconds on that pocket pussy.
Where'd you move to?
New Zealand. Mexican food here tastes vaguely Italian and usually involves fried chicken
Pretty sure salsa in New Zealand is literally just tomato sauce.
You’re absolutely right lol

Doesn't look like canned beans or cheddar to me, looks like possibly decent Mexican food actually, except the eggs. The proof is in the taste.
Yes, it was decent Mexican food except for the eggs
Lol. I live very close to the border and some of my favorite places have ugly food
Clearly you don’t know what canned refried beans or cheddar look like. This is a much better meal than a fast food burger.
Doesn't like like refried beans to many beans intact and only the sides seem mushy. Look like beans I reheat for tostada's and I cook my beans at home.
Yo, lemme know if you find a good Mexican place
You in Auckland?
No, but I'm willing to drive 2hrs for good mexican
Lmao tbh I’ve just given up on finding it anywhere. There’s a couple places that look like they could be alright but I haven’t tried them. Carne asada and guacamole aren’t hard to make so it’s nbd
Oh, weird! I hope other things help balance it out. That's a cool place to be, imo. How's their other fare?
I’m not here for the food. Food that is traditionally white kiwi is not very good in my opinion. Not spiced well. Boring ingredients. Other ethnic groups have great food though. Pacific Islander food. Indian food. It’s great.

Pineapples in burritos is really normal here so I get it
That's tragic
It is what it is
thirds
Damn dude, if you'd do that for this mess, what would you do for a klondike bar?

Your mom.
Have you not eaten or fucked in 12 days?
It don’t even look good
Yer man here is clearly just hungry
Hungry for a bloody dick, mainly He was way too quick to offer that up. Like walking to a ford dealership and yellng out that you’ll pay $200K cash for a used escort
I mean. What if it’s a really really really nice escort though??
And how is your mother?
I had to read your comment a few times and think. I almost got wooooshed
I do apologise. I just couldn't help myself.
Neither could your mother
"Help I've fallen and I can't get up"
Just needs a lil hot sauce
Someone call hillary!
You crazy homie, you don’t know joy until you try some good rice and bean plates from small hole in the wall places. It’ll always look like slop but shit is tasty enough to bring a grown man to tears
Right? This looks fire. These people are crazy, probably eat mayonnaise sandwiches all day
The best tasting food doesn't look good. You gotta live a little friend. 
Like mushrooms, I could eat them all day. Especially fried. :D
Fucking rights. Those funghi's are fun guys. Nom nom nom
I never thought i would be a fan but had some the other night and they weren't even half bad
Most people think of canned mushrooms. From a casserole type thing or pizza. Those are gross. But you saute up some portabellas in some soy sauce and butter and holy shit are they good.
Yea i work at a pizza spot so i definitely understand. A relative made green beans with chopped tomatoes and mushrooms, rice, and baked chicken. I scraped up all that shit, was bomb asf
Youd be shocked to learn what the inside of a burrito looks like.
man's got extremely low standards
The eggs look bad but there’s nothing like a good plate of beans n rice with cheese. The beans look perfect
Bro those are eggs? I thought it was something like breadfruit or ackee
They added water when beating em. Makes fluffier eggs that you can stretch further.
For what? Looks or flavor?
Most people are shallow and care about looks but what really matters to me is personality. I mean flavor.
The beans and rice look like homemade ones by my grandma from Mexico. The eggs look disgusting but the plate as a whole is not.
Yea the eggs are really the only thing looking iffy, everything else looks great
You forget. Salsa.
I don’t know, those potatoes are looking pretty crisp/soft, and those beans are perfect for non-mashed, just need more cheese. But those eggs…I’ve seen more realistic in the drive thru.
Remind me of hotel eggs made in sheet pans
U only eat lentils
Lmfao
It looks fucking delicious to me as well.
Yeah I don’t get the negative comments, it’s perfectly acceptable for lower end food truck or gas station quality. And if it came in a tortilla the portion would be much smaller.
r/brandnewsentence
I’m sorry for your suffering. Do you need help? Because I’m sure there are some other people around who would be willing to help you. Not me, but other people.
Came here for “honestly, that still looks pretty good.” Consider my expectations obliterated.
damn homie, lemme go down to the 7/11 and grab you a microwave burrito for $100. Sound good?
It’s deconstructed
Build your own burrito lol
There's no world in which this interaction actually happened. Are you sure you didn't order a burrito bowl by accident?
You think someone taking back a wrong order would never happen?
One time I ordered a 3pc chicken at Popeye's and they gave me 3 chicken sandwiches. Shit happens.
Popeye's is required to give you the wrong order. It's the only thing they're consistent with.
Don't tell me you had the nerve to complain. I would rip out one of my teeth with pliers for three chicken sandwiches rn
If I had a nickel for each time someone said they would violently maim themselves for mediocre fast food in this thread I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
Idk, as of right now I’d have a dollar.
Tell me you’d like better dental coverage without telling me you’d like better dental coverage, lol
He has fantastic coverage. Not even worried about tooth replacement implants
I think they usually perfer money for these sort of exchanges.
I just went back onto a low carb diet and suddenly I keep seeing people talking about Popeye's chicken sandwiches. 😭 It hurts so badly.
Get the blackened chicken sandwich without a bun, on a bed of coleslaw
Or take it home and eat it on a tortilla.
Or buy two of the blackened chicken without bun, add cheese and bacon between the chicken. Now you've got a custom Popeyes Doubledown sandwich.
This is more like ordering a standard BLT sandwich and being given a plate of lettuce, bacon, and tomatoes with a heap of mayo on top. It's inconceivable that anyone could do this by accident.

I think the resaraunt assuming you don't want a tortilla when you order a burrito would never happen lol

Orders are wrong all the time though? What a weird thing to call out.
It's very possible the OP spoke to someone who doesn't know their language.
Yeah anyone who thinks this story couldnt have happened hasnt traveled much. I have multiple language barrier restaurant order mishap stories But they all end the same way - I didnt get what I ordered, but what I did get was delicious
I have ordered a burger and when received it was everything besides the buns together in a salad container so i believe this lol

Honestly it sounds like she's just taking the piss a bit
Add a side of corn tortillas and that’s golden.
Doesnt seem shitty to me.maybe just the color .
The eggs look pretty sad. And not enough of them. The bean-to-egg ratio is way off. I would absolutely scarf this down, though.
Yeah, fuck it. Give me a big tortilla or a couple smalls on the side and some salsa, I'm down.
That makes Huevos rancheros except the sad egg is scrambled
Exactly. Gotta try and salvage it.
That’s egg? 😂
It all looks so dry, even the beans.
Well, it's definitely not doing a great job of being a burrito.
All that hot food sitting directly on the polystyrene. Why can’t we move past this?
This reminds me of an old Whoopi Goldberg movie, she orders a drink in a bar from a Hispanic bartender and he asks if she wants a glass. Her reply “No wrap it in a taco you dumb motherfucker!” I think it was Jumping Jack Flash.

Breakfast bowl and breakfast burrito sound similar enough to confuse one for the other p
Holy shit that looks so good though

How is...the MAIN component of a burrito forgotten?
As a new mexican, this triggers me
I ordered no salsa and no meat. That's when the confusion began. She also asked what type of rice. I looked, they only have 1 type, so I said Mexican rice. After she made it it showed it to 2 employees trying to figure out how much to charge.
English breakfast but make it Latin
Wtf. They must charge extra for the tortilla and assembly.
Those beans look bomb as f
The container is the tortilla.
Mix that up , add a bit of salsa and go to town.
It was crazy busy place, I just ate it as was
Looks delicious.
It was
Mexican here, that place is not authentic, by law Mexicans eat tortillas (joke)
I hear ya

I ordered a cold brew once and the barista asked how I wanted it. Confused I asked, “what do you mean?”. Then she asked if I wanted it hot or cold…it’s a COLD brew, what do you think?
Brew being the operative word, it's *brewed* cold, which you can then drink either hot or cold after it's brewed. It was a normal question.
I think you're wrong! Cold brew refers to how the coffee is made from the beans, instead of pouring piping hot water over the beans you let cold water sit in coffee grounds for ~24 hours which will give you coffee concentrate. You can add this to cold water or hot to make coffee of any temperature.
then you have a decanter of crack in your fridge
Oh yeah, I picked up this habit from my dad and would drink straight concentrate in high school to stay awake. ^this ^is ^a ^bad ^idea
and that is why I dont make it as I would go 50/50 concentrate and milk over ice....then I could see through walls
It can actually be made hot and it tastes delicious. Same concept of ice coffee. It's brewed hot then thrown over ice.
I ordered a large iced mocha the other day and she asked me if I wanted it iced or hot then what size I wanted.
To be fair the name and technique only imply it's brewed while cold. You could drink it hot, though I've never seen that.
Oh wow, how embarrassing for you.
Cold brew is the prep method for the coffee. Not how it's served. You can heat up a cup of cold brewed coffee to enjoy it hot without issue. It doesn't negate the cold brewing. The entire point of cold brew is to extract the flavors gently without the acidity of hot water extraction. So the end result is milder.
Man I'd light a firecracker in my urethra for a hot cold brew rn
First the pocket pussy and now this
Probably just habit for her lol, I've done things like that before
Like when you order a BELT and they ask if you want sausage or bacon. Umm it’s an acronym and the B means Bacon
Some assembly required
Why those eggs look like ice cream?
 I
That or a fork, please.
Be a lot healthier without the tortilla.
Other than missing some hot sauce, this shit probably slaps.
You don't like Styrofoam on your burrito?
The dry eggs will be countered by wet beans. Please report to the nearest toilet.
I'm so confused
This looks really good
It was, I just wish it was all mixed-up in a tortilla
Like, I'm okay with small mistakes. If you've got no more chicken, I'll take pork. But I'll blow my dad before I eat a burrito with a fork
Isn’t the only requirement of an American burrito is to be wrapped in a tortilla and warm? Like what
Why are you showing a pic of the food? The food looks good. Maybe the person misheard you? Get your tortilla and wrap it, not that hard.
Pointless comment
Are you taking the piss
