🎶White people tacooo night from the grocery store🎶

Ngl, I do love a whaco

DamnYouVodka

Dunno if y'all need more suggestions, but you could do an ep about a few ways to properly cook an egg (I know you already covered boiled)

We had white people tacos this Tuesday lol. I’m really loving the rollercoaster ride through modern Americana you’ve been taking us on

Arlo the Average

Food Moron sounds better than Food Idiot. Also tomatoes are delicious, long live the crime orange

Almanac_Gossip_Girl

White people tacos are a childhood memory, I love them even though now I know what spices are lol

Aaaaaand now im making tacos this weekend. Also, not to be THAT guy, but ground beef grease IS the stuff ur not supposed to put down a sink too. Not just the deep fry stuff. It hits the pipes, cools and solidifies and slowly builds up in pipes till ya get a clog. What i have been doing lately is tilt the pan and press all the meat on the upper half of the pan, let the grease pool on the bottom and the take a wad of cheap paper towel to soak up the 1/4 cup or so of fat and toss it in the trash

Cumin is also great to keep around for digestive issues. A tablespoon for when you have the poops. If you buy the seeds instead of ground cumin, it'll hit you a little less with the taste.

Does baby pearlmania end up orange from white people tacos like my 15 month old? Straight from the highchair to the bath to erase the trumplexion.

Isthisthingon

Ravenna Roanoke

Allegedly High Hippy

Gotta get the shredder attachment for the kitchen aid. It's a game changer

GinaBoBina

May I suggest the Susteas grater that's on the tiktok shop. I just got one and it works great!

Omniclient

Mrs Pearlmania is so right about the sour cream. I use it for sooooo many things(some of which are admittedly kinda weird).

Omniclient

Also totally forgot that this is my name on Patreon lmao.

Immediately starts singing white people taco night and clicks on episode

My sisters Mother-in-law, Darlene, made her WPT by putting the meat and cheese in the shells before heating them in the oven. So the taco shells got warmed as the cheese got melted. I started making them that way, 10/10.

I’m obsessed w the struggle over what this segment is called but also my mom LOVES white people taco night. I tolerate it 😂

ThenIWhispered

Whelp, since it's WPT night at my house, I appreciate the timing of finding this episode. 🌮🌮🌮

✨Sparkling Misandry✨

This was so good! You are an excellent food moron whisperer 🤣 Here's the turkey variation although nobody asked: even with the slightly higher fat version, I put some olive oil in the (stainless steel) pan first because otherwise it sticks and gets gross. Butt tons of chili powder, cumin, and a few SMOKED chili flakes (which make almost everything taste AMAZING). I'd make it spicier but it's one of the few real meals I can get my picky teenager to eat. Garlic and onion powder, smoked paprika, plenty of salt (turkey needs more salt than beef) and slosh a bit of lime juice or Negra Modelo in there too. DELICIOUS. On the table must be: shredded cheese, iceberg lettuce (which is not edible in any other meal), sour cream, crime oranges if I have them, maybe some sliced raw jalapeño, and three hot sauces in varying degrees of heat, starting with Tapatio and usually a couple of our local Silagy sauces from the farmer's market. Beverage: I'm finishing off the Negra Modelo I splashed into the pan :) (Also - food moron forever)

That 2tb of oil over years is gonna add up in those pipes. We had to dig up our whole basement lol. Put a piece of aluminum foil in the drain, pour, let it solidify and toss in the trash. But WPT are where it’s at.

Nikki Ann

Crime orange. Haha. I’m with Alex on tomato chunks. I refer to them as blood clots. Never a tomato chunk.

Craylee

Oh 100% please do a regular pod episode about the overpriced small sizes of food items like those spice packets, like when it started, how much more expensive it is, and all the different things they do it, too. And how it's framed as a cost saving (cuz it costs less at the time but so much more over time) but it's really just to have a much higher profit margin!

Airs

If you get one of the foaming pumps, you can refill it with a little bit of regular hand soap and water. I find that it saves soap overall compared to using regular soap pumps.

It's the only time I buy the "Mexican" cheese shreds

Short_Range_Attack_Chicken

I got spoiled by my ex’s family (A wonderful Mexican family) because they taught this gringo how to make authentic Mexican tacos even taught me how to make fresh tortillas and corn tortillas chips! I love listening but I can never go back to making gringo tacos… 🌮 😅

Fancy Gringo Upgrades: add a can of fire roasted diced (or Rotel if you're feeling frisky) tomatoes to the mix when you are adding seasoning to the taco meat. It kinda thickens it into a saucier meat texture. Time Saver: do 3 or 4 tablespoons of each seasoning in a bowl, mix, put in a jar or bottle. When its time to season the meat, shake on the blend until the seasoning gods say "Yes, my child, I bless this dish". Or to taste. You choose. *Remember* that once you've added the seasoning it takes like 5 minutes for the flavor to fully bloom. It's usually about an ounce of seasoning per pound of meat...ish. So honor the flavor gods but build it up slowly!

I genuinely love the acknowledgment of the silence and the "no, theme song"..... Im so grateful for you guys! joy in my heart even for white people taco <#

Mack

Also motts for tots!

bloomshroom

okay but at the end it made me think not me for having to get a vaccine because i ate at taco bell😭

Felix Dubis Wolf

Hi from Europe - agreeing with Mrs P about the shameful lack of tacos (Autocorrect almost turned „tacos“ into „racism“ and i was like whoa whoa whoa)

Elizabeth Staples

If Alex is anxious about the pipes you can pour the fat/water into a tin can (or used baby food jar) and toss in the trash (this is what is advised with bacon if your not keeping for later in a Lard Jar.

Companies have itaken things to an extreme in order to make more money. However, on the positive side, there are options for people with mobility issues, and single or two people homes. I actually think that through marketing, those same companies have contributed to exacerbating the culture of individualism that perpetuates and grows the need for their products. All to say, there are legitimate reasons and uses for that type of product that’s worth keeping in mind.

When my German friend came to visit years ago I took them to Chipotle and Taco Bell and they became OBSESSED. They went back to Berlin and are so mad that the closest Chipotle is in Frankfurt AND the only Taco Bell is in the US Base in Germany lol

Taco seasoning mixes in packets were popularized by companies like Lawry's and Old El Paso in the late 1960s. Lawry's introduced their taco seasoning mix in 1967, transforming Mexican-inspired snacks into a popular comfort food. The rise of the "crispy anglo taco" in the late 50s and early 60s also contributed to the demand for such mixes.
