Re: Burritoes in Over the Rhine

rhys,

well-put... i guess i do touch down for a millisecond on the [g] -- but it's
that gringo tendency to trip over the hard [g] that gets me. by glossing
over it altogether, wouldn't you agree you get the same general 'effect' as
a hispanohablante saying <<guacamole>> the right way -- because you're not
lingering on the [g]... It that glottal thing that grates against me.

seems like your definition for taco/taquito is more narrow that what I grew
up with. Please ask your relatives when they started calling it a burrito.
Curious. Is your clear green sauce a tomatillo sauce ('verde sauce')? or
what? send some to me. p.s.  what part of mexico are your parents from?
