As offensive as saying the Spanish don't understand the concept of burritos.

- VLM 9y agoA far better comparison would be the Taco Bell Chalupa which shares the name with a Mexican dish but has nothing in common with the Mexican dish. Taco Bell, much like American-Chinese food, or McDonalds, accelerated past cultural escape velocity a long time ago. See also the concept of American Lite-Beer-like-beverage vs German Beer. The concept of cultural escape velocity applies to more aspects of culture than just food.
