I'm getting diarrhea just reading this thread (Ruckus's contribution not withstanding). :o 

And when I read "meat hose" I damn near fell out of my seat!  ;D

What would a Google search of "meat hose" bring up?...  :-\

Apparently, Google and Bing desperately want to believe you're searching for "meat house" at first, then admits there is such a thing, only at your neighborhood TB.

Taco Bell Meat Hose - John Ramsey

I just found this after a little digging...apparently stories are aligning!!! I hope this isn't the end of the Taco Bell thread....it's potential seems serious

I recently read that the "seasoned beef" at taco beef contains less than 30 percent beef.  The rest is oats, "beef flavoring", sugar, maltodextrin, and other food science chemicals.  I've sworn off it since I read that, but after a long night of drinking it still calls my name.

I read several things referring to this, and sort of made mention of it in my first post. While I'm sure the actual percentage of beef is far below 100% (which would make it awfully bland), I do have a hard time believing the 30% number. Anyway, if a significant ingredient is oats, I'm perfectly fine with that, and surprised Taco Hell isn't touting the benefits! There's no escaping the food science chemicals if we eat at any restaurant which is supplied by mass-produced food service.

Yeah, I think the original lawsuit was just to have the name changed from beef to meat tacos because by law it didn't have the minimum beef requirement to be called beef.  The irony is that it doesn't have enough meat by percentage to legally be called meat either.  Perhaps meat and beef flavored filling?  I like oats

Damn you Ruckus for muddying this up with all your fancy talk about real food! This thread is about eating hose-issued "meat" out of a donut!  ;D

My bad.  I was really drunk.



I did have three of these last week and they were awesome!

The Taco Bell I frequent usually messes up my order, but for the better. I got one of those amazing beefy crunch frito things the other day by mistake. Man that was good. Nice surprise.

Alright, first girl post, yeaaaahhhhh! 

[Cheetara]

It's not as good as bbill's carnitas tacos but here is my contribution.


Have you guys followed the Taco Bell "beef" lawsuit recently?  Good stuff!

Wow, did you make that, Ruckus?

It looks really good! Like the stuff you'd find in a snazzy resteraunt  ;)

Hey thanks Cheetara!  These did come out well.  Snarf snarf

Your welcome! I can make out most of the ingredients from the picture, but what did you put in them???

I try to go for flavor, textural and temperature contrast so..Got some fresh shrimp from the market I shelled and seasoned with cayenne, salt and pepper and sauteed in garlic, ginger, dried and fresh chilis.  Sliced fuji apples and sliced fresh radishes chilled in lime juice along with fresh cilantro.  Kinda sweet, sour, salty, spicy, cold, warm, soft and crunchy thing, flavor overload.   Balanced out well by using flour tortillas instead of traditional corn.  I'll shut up.  This belongs in the foodie thread. ;)

Ok, Tottally drooling here  ;)

I'm impressed! Don't listen to anyone else givin you crap about overly fancy food haha. You're gonna be gettin all the ladies with those kitchen skills!  ;D

Ive become a big fan of the 5-layer Burrito and its 99 cent awesomeness of late. Those beefy crunch burritos were pretty good too.

Chipotle is decent, but I think Qdoba is much better. Chicken Queso Burrito is bomb

[Ruckus]

Had a crunchy beef burrito and a crunchy cheesy gordita today w/o a drink with salsa verde and fire sauce.  That was sodium overload.  I seriously got the meathose sweats.

New Hampshire Board of Ed IT surveillance team must have put up some red flags today :o  "Sir, that is the 4th time today a science teacher has binged or googled 'meathose.'"  Code red?

Dammit, why does my car have to be in the shop and the local Taco Bell store all the way across town? I've got a serious jones for some meathose-delivered goodness. Now I feel dirty.

You should see my hourly stats!  One of the biggest spikes is during my planning block.  No state board of ed, though.  Just George.

Mmm, Cheesy Double Decker.  Got two last night for 89 cents along with two Crunchy Beef Burritos with a few fistfuls of Fire sauce.  Oops, they accidentally poured an extra Pepsi.  "Would you like it sir?  It's free."  Of course...

$3.98

Championship!

[MMJ_fanatic]

Chipotle
or
Qdoba
eschew the diarrhea!

I am on a strict diet but goddamn I would eat a Gordita faster than I would Christina Hendricks. Wait. Strike that. Christina first, Gordita afterwards. Taco Bell is so disgusting/awesome.

I just threw you a cyber five. Hilarious. Or you could just eat that Gordita off her---ah nevermind... ;)

Last night, in typical fashion, my Taco Bell got my order wrong AGAIN, only to give me something better. Sweet.
