Just downed a couple of chalupas in about the same number of minutes. Thats the vigor with with I devour them. One of the things i miss desperately since 411 split up is our tradition of going to Taco Bell on Sunday nites.
Almost like a ritual it was. Play volleyball, take a shower and barge into taco. Once there order some dozen or so chalupas for 5 people, a mex pizza, and a few Fiesta potatoes-nacho cheese seperate.Next take a ton of hot and fire sauce (not kidding bhai, once I complained to Taco cust serv on their 1-800 no. when I observed that our store used have a shortage of fire sauce on sunday nights, Thats an unpardonable offense sir....) and plunder and gorge.
It was a routine that was followed with an uncanny regularity. Now Taco Bell is no glamorous place for a dinner but in my heart and that of my roomies it holds a special place. Nacho Cheese Chicken Chalupa is my favorite and Zesty Chicken Bowl a close second. When it comes to having a quick and low cost dinner nothing quite beats good ol Taco Bell.Over a period of time I have come to like American Food , their cuisine or whatever they have as an excuse for it, Tacos and Subways and Chicken Grills have become a part of life. The only Indian food that I genuinely miss is at Vaishali that too more for nostalgic reasons than for those of the palate. But when I was in India it was the chalupas I was missing!
One of the funniest things in the whole process was to watch other folks stand with irritated expressions on their faces and giving us looks since all the Taco workers would be busy in processing our orders. On such ocassions we used to joke that "taco hang zala re...."
But those days are now gone.Today I was in Taco all alone and to say the least it feels weird.
I miss those nights ..........

PS : I have the distinction of having my photo put up on tacos baord. It was taken on one of their customer appreciation programs. A fitting reward for my loyalty to Taco Bell, as I never tire of reminding folks

I miss the Taco times man...Gone r the days where we used to play VB (or VB@5 in Phataks terms)non stop with great enthusiasm and zest for as long a time as i can remember. and then once back, everyone used to gear up for 'Taco Times' as if it was the 'adhilikhit niyam'. Was no need to discuss as to where we were going to eat. And if someone revolted (as in raised a point abt going somewhere else, or trying something else), it was almost immediately crushed by me and BinT.
Once the ir-replaceable chalupas were on the table, no one talked , until finished.
