sinker 0 #51 October 11, 2005 QuoteWTF? You don't like haggis? Whats wrong with you. I particularly like highland haggis (no Oatmeal) sliced and fried and eaten burger style with avocado, jalapanos and melted swess cheese. Sort of highland Scotland/California fusion. MMM anything made from the very organ that was the repository of food to be digested is to be avoided at all cost. -the artist formerly known as sinker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rehmwa 2 #54 October 11, 2005 Quote I'm suspicious of any food that has a flavor. Flavor is nature's way of warning you of the presence of toxins. I've got say that this might just become my sig line. I'll see how I feel about it after I'm done chuckling. A good authentic chimi is just fresh chicken, maybe peppers and onions wrapped in a tortilla (open ended) and quickly deep fried then covered in cheese sauce (white goat cheese, preferably). Freshness is the goal here. Those humongous things at the quasi-fast food places (Don Pablo's, Chi Chi's, Chevy's) are nasty and shouldn't be held in the same category as a good chimi. Margarita's are always good. ...

Margarita's are always good. "A deep-fried wheat tortilla stuffed with minced beef, potatoes, and seasonings. The term was long considrerd a nonsense word-a Mexican version of "whatchamacallit" or "thingamajig"--reputedly coined in the 1950s in Tucson, Arizona, although Diana Kennedy, in her Cuisines of Mexico (1972) reports that fried burritos in Mexico are called by the similar name chimichangas. But in The Food Lovers Handbook to the Southwest, Dave DeWitt and Mary Jane Wilan noted that Tucson writer Janet Mitchell found that chang'a means female monkey in Spanish and a chimney of the hearth. When put together this becomes, according to Jim Griffith of the Arizona Southwest Folklore Center, a polite version of "unmentionable Mexican expletive that mentions a monkey." According to DeWitt and Wilan , Investigator Mitchell heard tales about the first chimichanga being created when a burro was accidentally knocked into a deep-fat fryer, and the cook exclaimed "Chimichanga!" She had also heard that a baked burro cooked in a bar in Nogales [Arizona] in the 1940s had been called a toasted monkey. The logical conclusion, then, was that the idiom chimichanga means toasted monkey and is an allusion to the golden-brown color of a deep-fried burro'." ---Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink, John F. Mariani [Lebhar-Friedman:New York] 1999 (p. 78) The key being seasoning, but a chimi can be anything you want it to be. Your version is just one of many. Its not like a chimi is generations old to have some kind of steeped history The only thing that is similar is the chiVichanga (note the V, not an M) of the Sonora region. meat, cheese, and beans, tortilla, deep fried. So back off my chimi and cilantro. I like flavor. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gawain 0 #57 October 12, 2005 Quote>Billvon 2008 Who was that character in a movie who started a political campaign so people _wouldn't_ vote for him? I'm tempted to start a smear campaign against me. "Billvon - spotted a demo load a mile short in 1995. Rolled the golf cart on the way back from the Triangle. Went low on the 300-way, twice. Billvon: wrong on spotting, wrong on golf carts, wrong on bigways." It almost reminds me of Bullworth... So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!
