Champagne and oysters

Any way is fine, but I prefer Champagne with raw oysters and a cocktail sauce or aioli.

i prefer raw as well, without sauce however

champagne and raw oysters, YUMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Whatever.
Have a taco salad.

now that is quiet hillarious

It sure is, considering I don't even know what a taco salad is. Where do you get one? Taco Bell? Pollo Loco?

Babbo has an excellent one ive been told... i'm sure if you run a search you'll see plenty of other recommendations as well!

Hey I like taco salad#!!!!!

I gotta try that magic taco salad. So, how does one make one? I'd imagine it involves buying a few tacos and sending them through blender with some greens. No?

It's sort of like a mexican version of the chef salad. It's gotta have tortilla chips for some extra crunch, and a bit of spice. It can be as white trash or gourmet as you want it. some stuff I may throw in a taco salad...

lettuce (romaine)
cheddar cheese
tortilla chips
meat of some kind (chicken, carne asada. seasoned ground beef seems most traditional)
black olives
kidney beans
diced tomatoes
jalapenos
diced onions
cilantro
avocado

My favorite dressing is mayo based with hot sauce (Pico Pica Hot, Cholula, or Tapatio), maybe some whole grain mustard or diced green chiles added, cumin, s&p.

you could get fancy and do something like this

Thanks Boones, but I prefer real Mexican cuisine. None of that chopped, half-digested stuff for me please.

LOL... you're kidding right? where do you think a meal like this came from, Canada?

let me give you an example... you know Tuna sushi, aka, Maguro? well, theres another Japanese meal called Tekka Don, basically sushi rice, sea weed & Tuna in a bowl, mix it up, add soy sauce to taste, and oila! simple & easy...

same difference with the Taco Salad... don't believe me? ask a real Mexican

awwww... im just kidding grun... ask coolbronson
