No kidding. I love food trucks. Perhaps we could diversify a bit, though. Perhaps a Taco Truck on 1st St., a Burrito Bus on 2nd, n Enchilada Econoline on 3rd, and a Nacho Nissan on 4th?

I've got enough of a selection of food trucks within walking distance of my office that I could probably construct a model UN with them. They are fantastic. Mostly.

Big difference being that in the Food Truck United Nations, the southern hemisphere runs the show.

the cultures of eurasia are long lived and storied. the cultures of the americas are very young. yes, there are some natives, but they were absorbed into their conquerors, especially as a result of the encomienda system which basically made indians slaves but you couldn't be one if you were a mestizo like myself and part white part native, so natives ended up marrying spanish often so that their decdendants would have freedom, and in the processes becoming less native in culture and more latino. plus many of their signature foods just became things like "tomato sauce" in italy (because tomatos are american) and they ended up having fry bread as "native"... fry bread. which is lard and wheat, things they got because we gave it to them on their trail of tears. anyway. basically because these countries are so young, with young culture associated with them, thats why you think there is no breath. i think another problem is there's lots of local foods (like fruits) that just are difficult to ship up here from the jungles of south america.

as for the middle east, are you f**k kidding me? have you not had kebab

Honestly, since I've started gaining more exposure to it, I'm calling the south American continent my new favorite food...place.

Argentine asado, Chilean tapas, arepas, empadas, humitas, endless variations of ceviche, all that old school Andean stuff....

Mmmmmm.

I just returned from a couple of days in Mexico and I didn't see one f**k taco truck there. They must have all crossed the border already.
