I've never used corn tortillas due to being told that they fall apart too easy and that the flour are the way to go. So you're telling me I've been mislead???

 

 

Yessir, you have been duped by The Man,  er..., El Hombre. 

 

Texsox quick fact. I grew up in Lake County where the late night, after bar stop was usually breakfast. However, being the good Sox fan, I did spend some time in south side bars, and, of course, developed the 2:05 am taste for a bag of sliders.

 

Sad Tex note. There are no sliders in South Texas.

 

Now this is where the wonderful corn tortilla enters the conversation. As I was lovingly explaining the greasy nirvana known as a slider, my friend knew instantly where we needed to go.

 

Taquaria El Zarapa, and their tacos nortenos are as close to a Mexican slider as you can get. Two greasy corn tortillas, bistek (chopped steak), onions, and cilantro. A standard order is 6 of these beauties. Some places will add cheese. They are usually consumed in two bites, just like a slider, but may be taken in one big, risking choking bite. Grease, beef, onions, strong flavors. They always are served with a side of charro beans. Best of all, and unlike White Castle, El Zarape has a big tub of ice on the counter filled with cerveza

How the heck is hereditary information not coded for in parental DNA passed on to offspring??? An intriguing question indeed.

Actually scared the hell outta me - that never happened before. My nasal passages completely closed up and I could feel my throat starting to close. I grabbed some sinus relief stuff and while it took some time, it worked.

My coffee mug has completely vanished. This is starting to creep me out.

What the hell is a Chicago accent?

 

I hear people say Chicago people have an accent, what is weird about the way people from around here talk?

apparently we say pop and sox weird, according to my girlfriend.

 

also brats, well that one was a given.

"A"s have a particular sound from chicaaaagoans. They're very flat...

 

Also say "both" outloud a few times. Lots of people say "bolth"

When I was in Baltimore a few years back I was told I say "Chicago" funny as well.

yeah, that's what i've figured. alot of our "o's" sound like long "a's"

When I was in Baltimore a few years back I was told I say "Chicago" funny as well.

 

I was told the exact same thing when I was in Florida.

 

Apparenty, that word was where it was most, or only, noticeable.

Yeah, it comes out PAHHHHHP and SAHHHHHHKS.

 

But everyone in my old neighborhood said "SHIH-KAWW-GO", not CHICAHHHHHGO.

 

With my wife having grown up in Wisconsin, the differences in dialect and accent are very fun to point out.

Water Fountain in Chicago = Bubbler in Wisconsin

Couch = Sofa ( or on occasion, Davenport )

Milk = MELK

and so on, and so on......

We all talk through our noses, it sounds very nasal to non-Chicagoans.

 

I've been away 15 years and I can still be pegged as a Chicagoan.

well bless your hearts, y'all sound funny to real Americans
