The corn tortillas sold in the supermarkets here are abominations, more like galettes with a mix of flour and corn. I order my corn tortillas from a store in Austria of all places. Usa got us beat on this no question. But these aren’t lavash, these are regular flour tortillas, labeled as such, some even listed as for fajitas. But they have Arabic labels too.

Wraps are usually flour and always available in Mediterranean/Middle Eastern/Turkish shops. I’m a big fan of za’atar naan, and suspect they would suit a French taco thing quite well.

I kind of use "wrap" to cover everything in that family that is used for sandwich purposes.

Nice thing about a pull tab aluminum can as the anti-snobbism vehicle, compared to a screw-top bottle or box wine, is that you can't reseal it. It's 12 fl. oz. down the hatch every time.

“I haven’t seen anything quite like this, but I like what he’s doing,” said Robert Carter, an industry adviser for the food-service sector with The NPD Group. The “entergagement” strategy, Mr. Carter said, could help GarfieldEATS avoid the sluggish 1-to-2-per-cent annual growth of the traditional restaurant industry in Canada, and play in the much more competitive digital-delivery marketplace, which he said has more than 20-per-cent annual growth. “The battle is: How do you get consumers more engaged?” Mr. Carter said. “This is pretty playful.”

When I was younger, I used to do taste tests for Ruby Tuesday. You would basically get a free lunch (testing the food), then get a $50 gift card to boot. Sadly, I never got to taste any truly innovative food laboratory inventions though.
