captain_slinkyWhile in California, I had the opportunity to dine at Del Taco (we have none in Washington State). It was food that went in to my mouth and through my digestive tract. Mostly forgettable.
EXCEPT for the Deep Fried Jalapenos.
They were exquisite Marquis deSade pain in my mouth and belly! But they really missed the boat, marketing-wise on this.
Picture it: You have a Jalapeno Pepper, sliced in to O-shaped rings, beep-fried in an Onion Ring batter. Jalapeno in bite-sized O's. Jalapeno O's. The perfect name for them would be, right? Are you seeing it too? JALAPNE-O'S!
But they decided t call them Jalapeno Rings :(
Further development in my angered mind has gone on to make the even BETTER, MORE REFINED perfect name for them, HELL-O-PAIN-O'S.
But no... they went with Jalapeno Rings. How utterly boring :(
