I recently had a ‘burrito’ at my friend’s place of work.\u00a0 This was a relatively flimsy tortilla wrap with some steak inside topped with a bit of tomatoey sauce and a sprinkling of cheese.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It was actually ok but I wouldn’t call it a burrito.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My place of work – anonymous Westminstery place – has burritos on the menu today.\u00a0 It also has fish & chips.\u00a0 One thing my canteen does really well is the Friday fish & chips.\u00a0 All my colleagues have gone downstairs for the weekly Fish Club.\u00a0 They’re all sitting there now eating fat chips, battered fish and mushy peas.\u00a0 They’re wondering whether it would be too too ostentatious to squirt on another sachet of tartare sauce.\u00a0 I, on the other hand, am back at my desk staring mournfully at what passes for a burrito in my place of work.<\/p>\n

Look, I’m not stupid.\u00a0 I knew it wouldn’t be a taste sensation.\u00a0 I knew that my tastebuds would probably not be crying out for a repeat visit, especially given that they KNOW that I passed over the fish, chips and mushy peas.\u00a0 But when I first saw what they were calling a burrito I did actually walk away towards the fish queue.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Then I remembered the disapproving faces of the scientific\u00a0burrito research community and turned back and purchased a so-called chicken burrito.<\/p>\n

Basically there were 2\u00a0bowls of rice with stuff mixed into it.\u00a0 One was vegetarian and one was not.\u00a0 She proceeded to fill a smallish flour tortilla from the chickeny rice bowl.\u00a0 I say ‘fill’ but what I mean is she put a spoonful onto the tortilla and wrapped it.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ok, so it was a bit on the small side – not the plump beauty I call a burrito – and the filling looked uninspiring.\u00a0 One spoonful of a ready mixed rice thingy.\u00a0 Hmmmmm, where were the beans? where was the salsa?\u00a0\u00a0Where was the cheese? Where was the guacamole<\/em>????<\/p>\n

I still had to give this thing a chance and took a bite.\u00a0 Ugh.\u00a0 Dry and not much flavour.\u00a0 They’d just made some kind of fried rice concoction with chicken, onion and a bit of chilli.\u00a0 That was pretty much it.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Still, at least it was small…<\/p>\n

Next time I see fish & chips on the same menu as work burritos, I will chose the fish & chips and Ya Boo & Sucks to the lot of you.\u00a0 I did this for you and it was crap!<\/p>\n
