  • Neverwinter Nights 2 had a hidden side game with something similar.

  • or stocked with Mr Pibb in place of Dr. Pepper and Sierra Mist for Sprite.

  • That's why I prefer to make them at home where I use rice flour tortillas instead of seaweed as the outter casing. Holds up like a real burrito, but tastes just as good as the seaweed ones. Also allows me to lighten the rice layer and add other stuff.

    Of course you can just be lazy and throw two sushi rolls inside a rice flour tortilla, sprinkle it with some soy and cock sauce, wrap it up and enjoy too.

  • Sushi burritos are basically a giant sushi roll you eat like a hand roll or sushi rolls.

    If the burrito is say two pieces only, pick it up, pour your preferred sauce on top and bite.

    If the burrito is more than two pieces, it's now a giant sushi roll you can eat with chopsticks or a fork.

    Try one! They're delicious.

  • As a fellow Southern California native, I'm now extra intrigued that you consider California Burrito to be fusion. I've lived in San Diego for over 40 years and have always considered it local cuisine, the fusion aspect never crossed my mind.

    We San Diegans have to remember that San Diego is unique in that it was once part of Mexico and Spain before that, so our local cuisine comes to us already infused. That doesn't mean it's not fusion food though. My wife, a native born Mexican has dragged me half across Mexico to see her family and it is in those trips where I realized certain foods are undeniably Mexican in their roots. From Burritos to corn tortilla tacos, they're mexican. However, french fries are not, thus fusion cuisine.

    Having lived in Chula Vista now for 26 years, I've learned two food facts:

    1. Cesar Salad was invented in Tijuana and came to Chula Vista second in the 1930s
    2. The California Burrito was invented in San Ysidro in the 1980s.

    If you're still around, this is the place that made the chicken tikka masala burrito:

    I'll give it a shot next time I head up

  • Chicken Tikka Masala burrito! Holds the sauce so good!

    Definitely going to try that with some sour cream and salsa

    Also, California burritos are fusion? Burrito is a Californian invention, and French fries are pretty American (sorry Belgium).

    Burritos are Mexican, Fries are American, thus the fusion into a California Burrito containing a protein + fries + guacamole and salsa.

    Souce: Southern California Native.

    Side note, I miss Dunkirk and Antwerp lol... That's where I got introduced to Carbonade flamande. Now I make it at home using Chimey ale, throw some cilantro/coriander in there with belgian fries and parmesan on top... So good.

  • My favorite fusions:

    Sushi Burritos

    California Burritos

    Kimchi Mac N Cheese

    Chicken tikka masala pizza

  • Have you seen it, or do you even know anything about it?

    My kids did, said to wait til it's on streaming.

    This one's getting solid reviews from critics and audiences. And I say this as someone who's never gotten into the franchise and didn't even watch 4 or 5; I have nothing to personally defend here.

    Reviews don't mean much anymore. Too many reviews today are bought and paid for. Box office returns are about the only truth you'll find now a days and the truth is: The general public is getting tired of 'Toy Story'.

    When you convert the numbers to account for inflation, then tie them directly to a chart you quite literally see a downward trend in people going. The entire theme has become banal to some and that number has grown exponentially since Lightyear was released (which was a financial loss btw).

    If you're going to be a pretentious, overgeneralizing jackass, maybe don't pick on the movie with a 93%/7.8 on Rotten Tomatoes.

    If you don't have anything to personally defend here, then why make direct attacks like this? Doesn't add up.

  • Shit, I didn't even know they had made a Leathal Weapon 3. 1980s stuff right there.

  • First problem: They paid to go to the theater to see a crappy movie. Any 5th any movie is going to be a rehash.

    Second problem: Parents not parenting correctly, resulting in even more brain rot than the 5th movie could do alone.

  • Pushing Daisies Season 3 is in development... so excited.

  • or his wife's employer: China

  • Welcome to the less scrutinized, less judgemental side.

    I deleted my reddit content and account 4 years ago, zero regrets.

    Some suggestions:

    Bookmark direct reddit channels you miss and visit them a few times a week to start, but don't go to the main page, use your account or don't post.

    Don't feel bad if you go. Over time you'll be able to do without visiting most channels, but even I hit 2 channels about once a month because they're niches.

    Have fun, good luck and again: welcome.

  • Yup. They should go to 'Methford', Oregon instead...

  • quote: "Otteson and his wife plan to sell their home in Redmond and move somewhere with lower costs of living, such as Vancouver, Wash., or Hillsboro, Oregon".

    Not surprised one bit as this has been an ongoing trend for techies in the SF Bay area to Seattle for decades.

    It'll be less a problem with small offgrid farms and more an issue for rural to suburban areas with full utilities because most of these people have no clue how to farm.
