burro

Despite a conflicting entry, I lived as a kid in Tucson in the '50s & '60s. We never used the term "burrito," only "burro" for a flour tortilla wrapped around (1) refried pinto beans, cheese (usually longhorn cheddar), & sometimes red or green sauce (salsa), or (2) a thick, green chile or red chile - thick stews of cubed beef, New Mexico green or dried red chile , & gravy w/ cumin, coriander seed, garlic, & black pepper - never pork (Arizona & Sonora are cattle country), or (3) other fillings, i.e., machaca - shredded beef w/ onion, bell pepper and/or green chile strips. Never ever adding rice or beans to the latter fillings. Now up in the Valley since 1962, we can still judge a "genuine" Mexican restaurant by looking at the menu even before ordering. If the noun "burro" is listed and "beef" is the meat employed for green or red chile, it's the real thing. Unfortunately, too many restaurants marketed as "genuine" or "traditional" Arizona-Sonoran joints have caved in and offer only NM Pork Green Chile and the now ubiquitous Tex-Mex Fajitas. Maybe in CA, TX, CO, MN, & NY, "burrito" sounds cute. No one who knows our real, traditional Arizona-Sonora cuisine sneers at the correct use of "burro!"

Barrow in Furness

Ideally situated between Heysham Nuclear power station to the south, the faltering Sellafield Nuclear reprocessing plant to the north and The Nuclear Submarine Facility in the town centre. The background radiation gives Barrow a Mediterranean climate.
Residents of Barrow also enjoy 20% unemployment, chronic heroin addiction (dubbed Heroin Capital of the North), extreme violence and the highest rate of teenage pregnancies in Europe. Barrow can also proudly claim to have 3 of the its shore lines in Britains top 10 polluted beaches.

So why not try a place with a difference and try Barrow!
