Burrito & My Mexican Connections
We would all tend to forget Ex’s(she was a Desi don’t mistake
her for a Latina) just for the reason
the compatibility did not work out, But can any one of us be sure that they
have really forgotten them (Hope my Wife doesn’t read this part of my blog) looks like I would be grounded for a week, I should
be honest here that I haven’t forgotten her not for the rosy moments, But its really
hard for me to come out of a particular date, it happens to be the one at the Big
Apple, off course there were numerous ones, this one particular one was a lunch
date at 34th Street at Manhattan, Even though I have been to parts of
Mexico before, as well as dined at exquisite places be it a roadside eatery or flashy
restaurants the home of Enchiladas and Burritos,
“Chipotle” the very name of the eatery we visited that day had distinct feel to
it, or may be the cuisine itself; far lurks with the flirtation of the tropical
buds, which reminded me of the cuisines in my mother country
My after work hours at Philadelphian Mexican Post was
equally charming with my pal Paul for company for Billiards along with some Mexican
delicacies were also fresh,
Burritos, Enchiladas, Chimichangas & Quesadillas have
all been my nemesis at my stint at the Mexican nights of theme dinners on my
early days in Carnival cruise lines, I was more expecting a known deal while my
visit here with my Ex,
If you walk into Chipotle on 34th Street in Manhattan at lunchtime, you will have to wait
in line. Behind a counter, workers assemble burritos and tacos and nothing else
in an impressively streamlined production line. Fresh tortillas are heated on a
griddle, then piled with fillings like rice flecked with fresh cilantro,
naturally raised Nyman Ranch pork and organic beans. Burritos, good-tasting if
bulky, are rolled by the hundred. The riotous crowd of lunch goers sits at
steel-topped tables on plywood chairs; rock music pours from speakers. It’s not
just a busy day in a busy city restaurant; it's also a chance to witness and
taste a shift in American fast food. Chipotle (pronounced, like the dried,
smoked jalapeño, chi-POAT-lay) was too hot to handle apologize my cliché, it’s
meant to my partner.
As I walked down an array of condiments were put forth in
front of my eyes, it was so colorful and had a distinct aroma which the Pico Di
Gallio and all the other salsas carried out. The Arroz was plenty, plenty to
the core that it was lavishly spread over the tortillas with a smear of sour
cream and a choice of those natural bulky pulled pork which they said was farm
raised, the Pico di Gaio or commonly known as salsa whose literal translation
means beak of a crow, guess it served the name not that it was shaped so, it
actually means that even a crow could taste from its beak, The Salsas were plenty
and so were the accompaniments, That’s when I fell in love not with the one who
laid across the table (which I could term as a Lie) but with those on the
table.
