Controversial Food Opinions - The Béchamel Test

also isn't the baby-sized burrito a specifically bay area thing (the mission burrito)? new mexican burritos are small and basically just one ingredient throughout ("hand-held")

at our taqueria an unwrapped wet burrito is twice as wide as a wrapped burrito because they wrap em really tight & they are full of stuff

idk about authentic or nothing tho

The ones in LA/California are usually big (idk, 5 inches?), have red or green sauce, and melted cheese on top

Inside there’s usually rice, beans, meat, and sometimes lettuce/tomato/guac

The wet burritos in Vancouver, Canada are small and mild like most things in Vancouver and not common

My burrito today I had to stand up in it's wrapper/foil and needed a spoon assist.

wait what the hell is an unwrapped burrito

not wrapped in foil

ahhhh ok

Xp to yerac

5x3” maybe

U kno what

Here this is from a pretty good place to get a wet burrito in LA — tepeyac in boyle heights:

I’m on phone but that looks like the one

Other faves are Tere’s on melrose/cahuenga

And for something a little heavier El Coyote

Damn i miss LA food

I don't ever see it with sauce on top, but that size seems right. I don't think I would like the outer wrap all wet.

Tortilla yo

Get outta here w “wrap”

unwrap the diaper.

a wet burrito by definition has the sauce on top!

why would you want a burrito covered in sauce

on the outside

The covered in sauce thing seems like something a Chili's would do.

Xxxp

It’s an LA thing bro

A bunch of these things are called wet but they vary in size and sometimes they don’t add cheese on it

Look at the pics on tepeyac’s or coyote’s yelp page

I thought LA people try not to poop.

wet burritos can be good. sauce is usually a good thing wherever it is.

why would you want a burrito covered in sauce

i likeah the sauce

the sauce is good

my take on burritos: i'm all set

Extra sauce on anything is pretty terrible.

although this may be why i don't like soups or stews.

it isnt extra. It is the sauce.

wasn't there a thread about the weirdos who get extra sauce on pizza?

I had never heard of a wet burrito until I moved to the 🇺🇸 midwest. but it can be good nonetheless

I was surprised to find them out here after moving from the midwest

just not ground beef

not liking soup is a crime. Do you like ramen?

she intersting

I like ramen and udon but I always do the bukkake *sigh* style. And if I make instant ramen at home I pour out the broth.

Dont know how I missed this thread first go round.

I WILL EAT BECHAMEL ON ITS OWN OUT OF THE POT.

But I have to have made it myself obv. And it has to be spoon-standing thick. Comparing it to mayo upthread was utterly weird. Bechamel has no eggs* or vinegar in it.

*yes I have seen lasagne/bake recipes where it does.

Bukkake style is okay but i prefer nyumen, and then soumen

I like the coldness of somen and the dipping. I prefer cold noodles.

rice is so useless

Maybe once, it was a persian saffron chicken dish.

Rice is just, whatever. I am not one of those asians that eats it every day to feel complete.

Bukkake style is okay

I like the coldness of somen

A small double take there.

Japanese rice is the best in the world and if you have some fancy rice in japan, the difference is totally noticeable — it just tastes that much better

It’s hard to eat white rice in north american asian restaurants after getting used to the fancy stuff

I've been to Japan for a month. The rice is fine. I've been to Taiwan for in total maybe 6 months of my life. The rice is fine. Blech.

Lasagna with bechamel should be called bukkake style. I hate having to order ramen bukkake in american restaurants even though it's on the menu.

Lasagna with bechamel should be illegal.

Plenty of Japanese mostly skip the soup part of ramen, e.g. at Jiro-style places.

I’ve literally had like a dozen types of rice all different quality in the course of a a couple months and if you can’t tell the difference you’re 1 mixing it with other stronger flavors and/or 2 you haven’t had someone to guide you through the differences in flavor

It’s like wine in some ways

No, I get it. I still don't like rice.

Fair

That said I am going to eat the shit out of some handrolls today. I actually make good sushi rice. Rice is still trash though.

Fuck u hurt my feelings

Rice is even good to eat when exercising

I eat rice everyday btw ✊

Brown on weekdays tho

I am staying with my singaporean friend and he keeps making me daily rice even though i have explicitly stated over the last decade that I hate rice. We joke about it and then make a date to have the same conversation the next day.

What about korean purple rice ugh

🤤

Even when I was in India I passed on the rice every single time.
