At last: Mexican-Irish cuisine!

You want "Nyuks", Weeks? How about: "Hail -- this hearty dinner your family will love! Skillet-quick to fix..."

Even Minnesotans don't talk like that.

I eat baked potatoes with salsa on top all the time. I didn't even know I was being cross-cultural.

Now, though, I'm going to start calling it Taters y Salsa.

P.S. Lucky Charms has hidden beef and animal gelatin. Don't eat it.

I'd hardly call it hidden as it's right there on the box --

Ingredients: oat flour, marshmallow bits (sugar, modified corn starch, corn syrup, dextrose, gelatin, calcium carbonate, yellow 5&6, blue I, red 40, artificial flavor), sugar, corn syrup, corn starch, salt, calcium carbonate, color added, trisodium phosphate, zinc and iron (mineral nutrients), vitamin C (sodium ascorbate), a B vitamin (niacinamide), artificial flavor, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B1 (tiamin mononitrate), vitamin A (palmitate), a B vitamin (folic acid), vitamin B12, vitamin D, wheat starch, vitamin E (mixed topopherols) added to preserve freshness

It has gelatin in it because it has marshmallows in it, and marshmallows have gelatin in them.

It is a proven fact of medical science that Lucky Charms cereal has every nutrient needed to support human life in it. It's got your protein (mainly pork skins, pork and cattle bones, or split cattle hides); it's got your oats; it's got your sugar (several kinds); it's got your vitamins; it's got your artificial food dyes and flavorings; and it's got your mixed topopherols.

What more could you want? My favorite is the last bowl at the bottom of the box, the one with all the marshmallow flakes and sugar powder that flaked off.

Fritos, by comparison (or on their own merits!), are pure and delicious.

Mmmm -- frito pie -- another of nature's perfect foods.

And this is a real Mexican/Irish place by me:

If you're talking about "beef" in the very narrow sense of the word, as in "a chunk of meat that was hacked off a cow," then it ain't got any.

But if you mean "beef" in the sense of "ground and boiled nasty bits that were left over after they took all the real meat off the cow, then mixed with pig lips and sheep scrotums and pockmarked skin that was too ulcerated to use for cheap leather," then it's in the gelatin.

Think about it the next time you're sucking down a bowl of red Jello.

And lamb ears, too. They make really good gelatin because of their texture, I hear.
