    in Mexico, knowing the language is definitely important. Street taco's are sold with various fillings.
    Difference between taco's sensos and tacos senos? Sensos are fried cow brains, and senos chopped up and fried cow udder. Barbequa isn't bar-b-que.
    It's the face meat from a cow, diced and fried.
    I prefer tacos al pastor. Really. I'll let you wonder upon what that is, maybe it's chopped up priest? hoo haha!

    The article you posted isn't quite accurate, Hoyt.

    All tacos are served with doubled tortillas is correct, but not because they're small, which they are.
    The outer tortilla is the one in the preparers hand.
    You don't eat those, just the untouched inner tortilla with its filling.
    And the article didn't mention the pineapple impaled on top the rotisserie skewer.
    Tacos al Pastor are flame broiled pork and pineapple filled. A little chili sauce on top and some add a thin slice of aguacate verde (avocado)
    You can see the shaved down pineapple ( pina ) in the photo. They keep plenty pinas handy as fresh replacements.

    A tip about avocado dishes like guacamole.
    Don't be so quick to toss the stone/pit.
    Avocado is full of vitamins and minerals, which will oxidize to an unattractive dark brown in a few hours, even in the fridge. Unless!
    Unless you restore the pit to the mixture. Retards it from turning brown.
    After the guacamole is finished, add the pit to your vegetable crisper to help protect your lettuce, tomatoes, veggies from spoiling.
    Why this works, I don't know. As far as I know, no lab has tested this property. Fenugreek is another natural 'age' retardant. make a tea with fenugreek and dip some paper towels in it, then dry in sun.
    Put the fenugreek paper in fridge and in your unrefrigerated potatoe and onion containers. Cabbage heads have a natural long shelf life unrefrigerated but is improved with avocado pits or fenugreek paper or both.

    The avocado pit is an easy to start growing attractive house plant that eventually can become a beautiful fruit bearing shade tree.
    Save those stones.

    Dolphin meat sold for consumption in Japan has been found to have mercury levels as high as 98.9 parts per million, some 250 times higher than the Government regulatory level and higher than levels commonly found in the fish that caused Minamata disease.

    There are two separate kinds of dolphins and various types within the kinds.
    One is a fish, the other a mammal. I enjoy mahi mahi, the fish dolphin very much.
    Only once have I tasted porpoise, confused I was being offered mahi mahi. I don't care for it, not very palatable.
    Porpoises are such likeable and friendly creatures, and I have never read or heard a report of them harming or attacking humans.
    There are reports of drowning seamen being pushed ashore and saved by porpoises.
    Rescue or having fun? Anybody pushed AWAY from shore, failed to report it. :D
    Anyway, most of the world protects cetaceans.
    Boycott products from countries that don't.
    But you probably won't do that. That requires a PERSONAL sacrifice.
    You would amaze me, if you gave up your Japanese car and electronics.

    "A. International Whaling Convention
    In 1946, the International Whaling Convention (IWC) was established to oversee the management of the whaling industry worldwide. It was established in response to the rapid decline in the population of whales from whaling. In 1986, the IWC instituted an indefinite ban on commercial whale. This ban is still in effect, with certain exceptions. Countries such as Japan and Norway have not honored the ban."

    Maybe in the language spoken in Mexico is correct what you explain but in Spanish:
    "sensos" does not exist as a word.
    "taco's sensos" means nothing.
    none call "senos" to the udder of a cow
    "barbecue", or whatever you want to call it, is not a piece of meat but grilling apparatus.
    "taco" may be, for example, a piece of wood or a dirty word.
    you're welcome.

    Barbecuing and grilling are similar but not the same. A grill can be used for both.

    He wrote "sensos" for sesos, is very understanable to me (some people in Spain call "almondegas", "albondagas", "mondigas" or whatever to the "albóndigas"). Seso in spanish means brain too, as "cerebro". In all the spanish speaker countryes the word "senos" means boobs , so is the "ubre" of the cow if you like. "Barbacoa" is grilled meat everywhere. "Taco" is a well know mexican food, that looks like sticks, if you go to your nearest Shopping Centre you can eat it.
    The spanish is the second language in the world today cause the mexicans in USA, not cause the spaniards. And the spanish language is diverse, I suggest the Diccionario de la Real Academia Española, or RAE, to know the different meanings of the words . Also into Spain some different words are used in Andalucia than in Castilla, and if you go to small towns in there, different words will be used in 12 km.distance. In Andalucia, "chicharos" are the "arvejas" par example.
    YOBARNACLE is very right, he speaks a good spanish.

    Sorry, was impossible to read all the thread. But the main matter is very sensitive, we are killing the oceans. In Europe the rubbish can be seen floating over some streams in the Mediterranean, and in South America the seawolfs still protected and this cause over population and may be toguether with bad fishing policyes, the cause of lose of important species in the future.
    Wherever you look in the ocean, the human activity still unbalancing nature. In south Pacific I didn't seen nothing wrong, but is not a secret that nuclear activityes was done in there.
    A good sailor or sea lover needs to help to build concience about this. Good matter for a thread.

    wavepropulsion, glad to have someone here who knows the Castilian. It is a very rich language with many nuances. So some words that in English are clear, in Mexico, depends on your sense, means one thing or another.
    I do not know in Mexico but in Andalusia, Castilla and 12 km away, if someone calls "senos" (breast)" to the udder of a cow, the other will die laughing.
    Barbecue (also barbeque, BBQ and barby / barbies) is a cooking method and apparatus. You can cook meat, sausage or fish on a barbecue. You who know so well DRAE, see that word, please.
    I think someone else besides Mexicans, must have helped the Castilian is the second most spoken language in the world. But if the Mexicans do not help us a bit, shortly will be the third language (if it is not already). ¡Animo, Mexico, a trabajar¡

    Btw, I fully agree your last post.

    Yes, mexicans spreads the spanish because they are may be the bigger minority in the more influential country today, USA. All countryes help to spread any language, and this is dinamic, still changing all the time, cause this exists spanish, french, italian, portuguese and romanian, and some dialects too, as you know all this languages comes from classic latin. I can tell you in Australia the people knows spanish language from the mexican food and Dorita cartoon, and americans today call "cerveza" to the beer for the mexicans.
    In USA all people from any country is wellcomed and integrated naturally by the americans and by the american system. They have some problems but normally they are curious and open minded, and this is what helps much more to the language spreading.
