French tacos – the fast-food pride of France

BLARF!

It's not even a taco!

It's more like a burrito. Or a tortilla wrap.

But definitely not a taco.

Mexico should sue them.

Looks good, actually

Practically every culture has a flatbread of some sort. Tortillas, crepes, moo shu, pancakes, lavash, pizza, naan, blini, chapati, lefse, the list is endless.

This isn't a flatbread.

Did you even see it?

It's a burrito.

Or as Taco Bell calls it, a "crunch wrap."

Crepes and tacos originated in Beynac France.

The bread wrapping the outside is the flatbread.

R3 is exactly right. That ain't nothing but a crunch wrap. Those french dudes dialing it up a notch with the ingredients. But a crunchwrap should be called a crunch wrap. But calling it a Taco is just an insult to Mexican fast food nomenclature.

They make them with their feet. Ask a Brit they will tell you.

These look much better than the horrible Taco Bell crunch wraps.

I would bet that a French version of anything Mexican would be the better choice.

A misnomer of Cincinnati "Chili" magnitude!

Guess again.

Did you even see what he put in that "taco?"

Some kind of "paste" with Middle Eastern spices, American yellow cheese, shredded cheese, chicken, SHAKSHUKA!, and a weird French cheese sauce smothering everything.

That was NOT a taco, and I don't even want to imagine what it tastes like.

[quote][from OP's video] Algérienne sauce...

There's French fries in it, so of course there's mayonnaise.

While not exactly 'tacos,' they definitely are French.

Nope - the 'é' with an accent won't link through DL, and replacing it with a standard 'e' won't connect to the right article on Wikipedia.

One last try:

[quote] @edm5929

[quote] That French taco wants to be a California burrito

[quote] @truekels

[quote] The most annoying thing about this is that the French would be some of the first to say “That’s not a croissant!” “That’s not a quiche!” Etc. but they go & call this a taco?

[quote] @mohammedshoaib3761

[quote] they colonised the taco
