¡Más bien los esquimales deben compartir sus hielos con nosotros!

Y como está la comida de Taco Bell en México?

Si, Crotalito he probado la Cochinita Pibil....muy sabrosa por cierto.

Fazor....yo también sé cocinar pero nunca trataría de hacer Mole Poblano por razón que tiene muchos ingredientes y por alguna razon no sabe igual que el que sirven en el restaurant. Hay uno que venden en el super que se llama Doña Maria y está delicioso.

¿Porqué?

Yo pienso que eso de los topopos era algo que originó en los EEUU y ahora lo ha adoptado México.

Aquí eso es nachos. Creo que eses terminos son muy regional. En otros partes de Mexico los totopos son lo que nosotros llamamos corn chips.
Los corn chips son tortillas de maiz cortadas en triángulos y freídas y saladas frecuentamente serivido con una salsa cruda (pico de gallo) .
Mira aquíhttp://buscon.rae.es/draeI/SrvltConsulta?LEMA=totopo. Parece que los totopos son pre-coloniales.

I've personally never seen totopos in the U.S. They are described here. Is this an accurate description?
In the U.S., we have corn chips and we have tortilla chips. Both are usually fried (there is a healthy baked version). Frito-Lay makes corn chips. They are described here. Tortilla chips are described here. Besides triangular and circular shapes of different sizes, they also come in a scoop shape. Nachos are made using tortilla chips.

Yes. I agree with you the corn chips are have shape triangular and the tortilla has a shape circular. Then the corn chips is most mentioned as Totopos in my country. I don't know that kind of tortilla is sold in your country. But I can tell you that the tortilla is only tortilla and anymore. Therefore are the tortillas in shape triangular.

I hope can you understand me.

Well here in my part of the woods, tortilla chips in a Mexican restaurant are just tortillas that are cut up in rectangular shapes and deep fried. Served with Pico de Gallo fresco or different types of sauces.

Fritos and others make corn chips which are in no way comparable to tortilla chips from a restaurant.

Tortilla chips are totopos. The others are "munchies".

The description I read made it sound like 'totopos', at least the authentic ones, were thicker and dryer than what we normally call tortilla chips. But it was hard to tell for sure.

I would say that corn chips are thicker and drier than tortilla chips. Tortilla chips tend to be thinner and with a nice "crunch" to them whereas the corn chips, personally, have a dry crunch.

I guess it is all up to personal perference.

A mí me gustan los totopos pero me gusta que los sirvan con guacamole picoso.
mmmmmmm
