Taco in a Bag at Twine Ball Day

About a month ago, I wrote a post about the "limited food options" I faced while traveling in a small Mexican town.

Well, now it's time to poke fun at my own backyard.

While spending the day in Darwin, Minnesota for the small town's celebration of Twine Ball Day, once again my food options were limited.

True, hot dogs and hamburgers were firing on a grill under the Lions tent. But I'm not really a hot dog and hamburger fan.

So, after checking out all the food options in town (which didn't take long), I settled on what looked to be the most popular choice. Nearly every other person, it seemed, was walking around with a bag of Doritos and a fork. Hmmmm.

Turns out, they were eating "Taco in a Bag." Slit open a bag or Doritos, dump in a spoonful of ground beef (ugh), some shredded lettuce, some shredded cheese, chopped onions, some jalapenos and top it all off with some salsa. Yum.

It wasn't so bad. I was really hungry, though.

Is it salty ?
If yes, in India we have many such called "Dalmoth".

I wonder what would have happened if the person was a vegetarian too?

Thank you so much for this post! I was at the MN State Fair today and saw a lady doing this. I had to stop myself from taking her picture with my phone and sending it to my husband. I mean, I thought a spoon was a better option for the "end-of-the-bag crumbs". But then I saw two other people doing the same thing. I KNEW the Internet would tell me what this phenomenon was!

Taco in a Bag at the MN State Fair?

I thought everything was supposed to be on a stick!

I think I've had enough Taco in a Bag for this summer. When I hit up the fair this year (which is very soon), I think I"m going to pass right on by this booth.

I can't believe this trend is spreading. It wasn't THAT good.
