4th October – Taco Day.
Tacos pre-date the 1519 arrival of Spanish Conquistadors in Mexico, which was only 503 years ago.
The Europeans that arrived in Mexico were more bothered about turning it into “New Spain” than they were about absorbing local cultures and learning the name of the foods they were being served, probably rather nervously, by the Aztecs who lived there.
Since the arrival of Hernán Cortés and his 500 man strong murder band was definitely not about appreciating Mexico, there seems to be no surviving information about the origins of the delicious taco.
However, there are so many varieties of taco available today that all tastes can be accommodated.
Be they traditional like the Tacos dorado (better known as taquitos to most) or non-traditional like the hard shell tacos that come in kits and break into a million pieces when bitten.
Buy, make or simply assemble a taco today and be thankful that, even though their past is hazy, they’ll always be there to enjoy.
