Talk:Taco/Archive 2

Miner origin.
"Others argue that the advent of the taco is much more recent, with one of the more popular theories being that the taco was invented by silver miners in the 18th century, however the first mention of the word "taco" in Mexico was in the 1891 novel Los bandidos de Río Frío by Manuel Payno."

This would make sense because English miners would eat pasties. A pastry wrapped food parcel that served as storage as well as food. The first time I saw a taco I thought it was just a pasty made of flat bread. The derivative nature is plain as day. 2001:8003:3631:7400:50FD:2CD8:8930:2A5B (talk) 23:50, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
