I much perfer burritos to tacos. There's so much more variety! Tacos are just an elaborate means of eating nachos, which are ok, but no big thing.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

I've never denied that I'm a little crazy. Only that burritos could be better than tacos.
Y'know, the Carrburritos papas burrito is a good thing.
I don't mean to stomp on the goodness of tacos. The ones we make at home feature a wide variety of meat and veggies and salsas, and some are definitely better than others. But they're all good.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Wait. Is this really about food? My bad.
Crab cakes. A perfectly formed crab cake is like a message from God.

Oh, I didn't realize we were talking metaphorically. That changes things, mostly to a sudden desire not to eat Tex-Mex in the near future.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I for one was not talking metaphorically.

We are?
Huh.
Still a fan of the burrito. I think I won't push for salsa verde in this context, though.

He liked sauce until he was about 3 (so 7 years ago) and then hated all things he felt were too "wet".
I remember preferring food to be free of sauce/gravy/toppings until my late teens. But I did grow out of it (well, mostly) if that's any comfort.
It was always very exciting when there was something that I'd eat that my brother didn't like.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I think pickiness is related to the taste bud sensitivity that kids have. I was just telling a friend in her thirties onions are ok now.

You know, the distinction between analogy and metaphor has pissed me off for a good many years.
Yes, yes. I know the dictionary distinction. ""Like the thing" -vs- "As the thing".
It is like didactics humping the leg of meaning, if you will forgive my mixed ... thing.
