So let's just get one thing straight before we continue with today's blog: I am not offended or outraged about those tortillas being called "wraps". I am sad and angry because I JUST WANT A GOOD TORTILLA. FOR ONCE I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE, I DON'T CARE WHICH ONE, AND SEE AN AISLE DEDICATED TO NOTHING BUT TORTILLAS!
Why the people who made those tortillas decided to call them "wraps" instead of tortillas is a mystery. A wrap is a shawl not a food. Making them with olive oil must have drastically altered the make-up of the food they were selling so they could not call them tortillas anymore. I guess without manteca you don't have an authentic tortilla. And why do the tortilla companies always say, "Great for snacks and meals". You don't see Roman Meal or Wonderbread putting, "Great for toast and sandwiches" on their packaging. Anyone with a Taco Bell in their town can figure out how to use a tortilla.
I like to call things as I see them. Is decaf coffee still coffee? Yes, it is even without the caffeine. Those discs of flour in that bag are tortillas. Really bad ones but tortillas none the less. Now excuse me while I fill my "wrap" with rice and beans and magically transform it into a tortilla. Then the tortilla enters its final stage: the burrito. Then I will get my lazy ass to the nearest carniceria in Cleveland. There is one and when we get there, angels will sing and tortillas will fall from the heavens.
