@ovid @mechanlou TIL about #FrenchTacos. (Don’t forget the “s,” even when singular.) https://apple.news/AEHolDgzsQTmyKYVBbSskuA
Apparently it’s a tortilla folded into a rectangle around (usually #halal) meat, condiments, and cheese sauce, usually with French fries stuffed in.
They are definitely #French, though probably originating from snack bars run by #NorthAfrican descendants. And they are even farther from #Mexican #tacos than #TexMex is from Mexican #food.

I have to say that seeing #HumzaYousaf become #Scotland's first Minister, while #RishiSunak is #UK's #PM is really a lesson for the ever #racist #France, who in a billion years would not put a third or fourth, nevermind 2nd generation #NorthAfrican in charge of the government. The UK for all its faults (aka all its #Tories) will always be more #tolerant than its gallic neighbour. https://www.channel4.com/news/humza-yousaf-elected-new-leader-of-the-snp

"Berbers [are comprised of] genetically diverse groups, from isolated [homogenous groups, mainly of Middle Eastern & Iberian affinity] to admixed groups with high frequencies of sub-Saharan and Middle Eastern components."
