Yeah really where is the Tex - or the Mex???

I am a prisoner at work, so I have two options, brown-bagging (actually lovely rust orange nylon bagging with embroidered moose) or delivery.

The place with good, reliable food charges $1.50 delivery.

The places with sometimes better food, but hostile delivery guys charge anywhere from $2-3.

We usually order from the $2.50 delivery place.

I think the Chinese delivery is free, but we only get from them once a week.

There is a new Mexican option, and they don't charge for delivery, but not all Mexican food travels well (The Queso gets too solid and the tortillas too soggy).

I'd rather be able to leave the building for dinner, but that's not going to be changing any time soon.

It's the Mexican version of Chinese whispers. All the local places copy from eachother. At some point there may have been a real Tex-Mex element, which has been replaced with better selling sides until only the jalapenos survive. Chillies, Mexican, see? Oh and onion rings, American, that'll do.

I'll have to find you some more Tex Mex Specials!

Americans have now had their obesity generations, Europe will be following in about five years.

"Here's a big cheap bomb of dough and fat for you; it's utterly filling, and the sugar rush from the white flour will have you feeling blissfully contented in about an hour.

"If later you feel bad about your weight, have another one to reach the same level of blissful contentment again."

In L.A. there are no delivery fees other than the tip you give to the driver.

Quick bit of trivia: The term "Tex-Mex" actually refers to the geographic locations of Texas and Mexico, and the culinary habits of the people in those regions (IE, corn tortillas, refried beans, etc.). Strange, but true. It's one of those archaic terms that's hard to trace back to it's logical origin.

Wait one minute. Food delivered to your home? What will them city slickers think of next? It'll never catch on.

Bird flies over your house; shoot and eat. Food delivered.

So this Sycomoro character calls in the bird shoots cleans and cooks for $2.50? Sign me up.

I can't remember the last time I actually had a pizza or food delivered - and I don't recall a fee for delivery. I'm too cheap to order pizza, but I dig pizza.

Sundae... what do you think of Pizza Express? I love it and I always have to go there when in the UK. I know it's probably not that big of a deal and the pizza probably isn't that good in the grand scheme of things, but I love it :).

Oh no...I am only the bringer of death, not the preparer.

Oh...my new place charges $2 flat.

Pizza Express is very good. I avoided it for years because of the name, then a very nice young man took me in there and I realised it was nothing like what I expected! You can buy some of their pizzas in Sainsbury's now. Not as good as the real thing and twice as expensive as other cook at home pizzas - and twice as tasty!

I had a similar experience with Sushi Zone. A "zone" sounds like a place where chili dogs would be served.

More Tex Mex for you. Sorry, Hot Mex. If Tex Mex is supposed to represent Texas and Mexico, where is Hot Mex from?

Then the main menu. Including one of my cheap pizza gripes. Why is the fish pizza so unrelentingly fishy. I think pretty much every pizza company has this pizza - three types of fish and sliced tomato. Bleurgh! Prawns on pizza are just wrong anyway.
