Last night The Wife introduced me to a new snack. She said her sister used to make them when she was little. Fry a corn tortilla in a little oil. Top with mustard. :eek: :dubious: Actually, the were pretty good! 🙂 ---

Mustard is a miracle food. You can put it on a dog turd and render it edible. ---

Why not? 🙂 I used to put mayo and garlic salt on toast instead of butter or jam for a quick breakfast. Also, today for breakfast I had 2 hash brown patties with mustard, nothing else. ---

You had me at “fry”. It certainly sounds better than the Cheez Whiz and Miracle Whip sandwiches I used to eat as a kid. ---

Add some cheese to it and I’m good to go, but just plain like that? I love mustard, but not virtually on its own like that. I originally thought this was going to be mustard greens tacos. ---

I originally thought this was going to be mustard greens tacos. Yeah, I’m completely baffled by this. Why not just dip tortilla chips in mustard? (Ugh, no, don’t do that.) I love mustard on all sorts of things, but this sounds completely unappealing. ---

No, no, he’s saying the dog turd makes the _mustard_ edible. Just kidding. I love good mustard. ---

I like to buy those cheap frozen burritos from the grocery store, fry’em up and cover them in mustard. Been doing that since I was a kid. ---

I love mustard on all sorts of things, but this sounds completely unappealing. Mustard is my go to dip for chips. Lays, preferably, but any unflavored chip gets mustard. Same with fries. Slee ---
