Tacos in ESO

Darkonflare15

Did not know there putting Tacos in Eso. Now I am super excited for Tacos.
Who is excited for them like I am?

I hope the ArchMage banishes tacos from Tamriel.

Ya I don't see this as lore friendly.

Not a big deal but I'm surprised this made it past Schick.

Xexpo

mmm tacos

Since the tacos are from Riverhold, which is a city in Elsweyr. It may not be far off lore-wise because River hold is in the dessert region of Elsweyr. Plus I always thought Khajit had a Spanish accent. I also like that is says ultimate tacos for the purple recipe. I like that more than consummate.

I wish ZOS would leave this kind of stuff out of the game. But oh well I will just totally ignore them, hopefully they do not go back on their promise to leave all existing recipes from the game and replace them with the likes of this.

TACOS

OM NOM NOM NOM NOM

I will level up my provisioning just for the sake of making tacos. I will make a guild called Taco Bell, and sell tacos to the citizens of tamriel!!

Ok, i am not going to actually do any of that, but, tacos!:D

They added these Taco recipes to the game so Taco Tuesdays would be better for role players.

I hope they just change the name to corn rolls or something a little less real world culturally specific. First it starts with tacos then before you know it we will be having Imperial bacon and mammoth cheese burgers.

Closer observation: The beef tacos contains not beef but 'red meat'. Meaning probably venison, mutton, pork, bear meat etc are now all just 'red meat'. Could also be a realistic refection that a taco can contain anything that can vaguely be classsifed as 'red meat'.

Also why the jiggins does the boiled creme treat have pumpkin in it? Double jiggins radish too?!

As long as I get a goat cheese and apple salad made with organic kale, I'll be happy. Maybe poppy seed dressing as well.

You should though. It's a franchise just waiting to happen. Tamriel is a totally untapped market for fast food chains.

Chicken Tacos are not done then?

I have no problem with the Pumpkin, since it can be quite sweet, especially if cut up small and caramelised, but Radishes are odd.

Really though it should be variations on milk, eggs and moonsugar. (Creme is french for patisserie custard, which is milk egg and sugar).

Yah know.. @ZoS_LawrenceSchick does not bring up a name.. wonder if he retired...

SantieClaws

They bumped off the loremaster? We are all dooomed. Ok that's it. ESO is certainly going F2P now.

The tacos were the sign all along .....

If they can have quiche without France, why not tacos without Mexico?

I was thinking the same thing. Corn based flat bread with some sort of meat based filling, folded in half. I mean, don't tacos predate Europeans in the Americas?

Seems like a suitable low technological food for high fantasy to me. Certainly not anymore or less lore breaking than...

• Roast Pork
• Spiced Wine
• Quiche
• Omelets
• Liverwurst
• Grilled Venison
• Crab Cakes

and of course...

• Fish sticks.

Made with real crab meat, no fish included.

Here is the boiled creme treat from skyrim. It kind of look look like it has pumpkin in it. As for the radish, it could be a place holder or could be that the person who made the recipe like a little style in their sweets.

Called Fish Fingers in UK, It causes me a moment of What The...? every time I see it.

He's employed by Bethesda Softworks not Zenimax Online Studios. He works with ZOS's writers and approves naming.

I don't think Shick has seen the tacos recipe yet. But once he does, I suspect this spell will be cast.

No, the spell will not be effective. We need the enchant so we can expel tacos with our blade. It will be less messy that way.

Why is everyone freaking out about tacos, but ignoring risotto? Italy is more acceptable than Mexico?

LonePirate

I am more intrigued by the inclusion of Riverhold in the recipe name than I am by it being a recipe for tacos.

Multiple countres did Risotto themes, Paella in Spain for example.
Edit ~ yes I know they aren't exactly the same, but similar enough that any world with rice would have done something along those lines. Similarly quite a few countries have their own variations of Pasty.

I was thinking about the name more than the dish. Any culture could invent it, but only one culture called it risotto - before others languages borrowed the term.

We already have recipes for quiche, liverwurst, haggis, etouffee... I actually had to google the last one because I had no idea what it was. I don't think tacos are so out of place on this list. A taco is basically a tortilla folded around a filling. We could avoid the word tortilla and replace it with flatbread (which was used in the game before: Combwort Flatbread), but really, what difference does it make? It's the same thing.

Ah, right, yeah they should have leaned away as much as possible from real world terms for food, Tamriel lacks the linguistic roots for these terms.
