Are... tortillas too *spicy* for you, Canada?

No! Bad Canada! Bad! This is an abomination! I want you to go to your bedroom and think very hard about what you’ve done!

Black families : curious
White families : indifferent
Latino families : "actively hostile"
Also, Old El Paso has an "extra mild, extra tasty" taco kit. It contains the opposite of extra taste.

I mean, a packed tortilla is a tortilla nonetheless, and living in a country where finding tortillas in any form is hard, I take a packed one no problem.
I grew up with homemade ones. The Wonder ones look closer to handmade flour tortillas than the Mission brand.
I refuse to believe they can't handle tortillas. This is the country that gave us bloody caesars, after all.
"You know what a wrap is?"
"Of course!"
"Same thing."
"I've never eaten a wrap... But I understand what you mean."
it’s too much to ask
I think I need to lie down again.
“Is that… is that a salmon veggie cream-cheese burrito?”
“Naw. It’s a wrap.”
“Oh. That’s OK then.”
(I say this as a white dude who's a baby about anything spicy)
Don't know if this old digestive system can still handle one but willing to try.

Imagine extremely thin yet tough pita, as used in say a falafel wrap from Egypt or Lebanon?
(Probably not, but I live in hope. They're marvellous bread)

Go to Leamington, Ontario and you'll get the best Mexican food you've ever had ... quite possibly served to you by a Spanish-speaking Mennonite guy with a German name
(it's complicated)
It seems that some Mennonites, tiring of Prussia's warlike stance in the late 19th century, moved to Ukraine for a bit just in time for all the Soviet stuff ...
And they are tiny. How does that even classify as a wrap?

Let's order it and find out how bland it is!
It was most definitely not salsa.
It had *raisins.*
Kind of a weird, fluffy texture.
maybe it's a Toronto thing
👀
Most of ours don't say wraps 🇨🇦
That's not a great brand up there.
We have many that are far better.
May deities/entropy/happenstance have mercy on our souls.
It’s Kids stories, not *kid* stories.
Yes, tortilla and wraps are two different things.
And for my part, it's not about shame or anything actually bad (well, maybe Wonder should tone it down a bit), it's just the preposterousness of the labeling that's fun to laugh about ;)
