Regardless of the ethnic culinary heritage to which you gravitate. Every culture has had its means of delivering the goods (nutrients). Man first eat meat right off the bone and fresh herbs, vegetables and fruits from the bush itself. With the advent of eating utensils and the Earl of Sandwich's crafty invention, man no longer needed to soil ones digits during the nutritional uptake. Sandwich's invention has had an impact cross cultural, ethic and geographic boundaries whereby each has added its own twist to the culinary contraption, the concept of a sandwich, why to the North American, that may be a Hot Dog, or the Italian a Pizza, or the Asian, noodles, or the lettuce wrap. Particular to those from the Americas we have the true "Native" American Sandwich, the Taco. The Taco as delivery method might have originated elsewhere for it is similar in properties to the Pita sandwiches of Mediterranean traditions of biblical histories. What differed was the make-up, was in the crustal properties, as early Eurasian and African people had no access to the uniquely American grain corn, or maze. The Mediterranean Taco, the pita, was leader from grains known to AfroEurasian man (wheat flour, amaranth, rice). The noble kings of ancient America (The Aztecs, Olmecs, Anasazi, Maya, Inca), these people, by way of their hybridization of corn, to wit corn flour. Developed there own form of unleavened bread, the corn tortilla, and thus was born the deliver method so near to those of us with this culinary fetish. The Taco, Thanks Sir Sandwich, Sorry Micky D's, it is the Taco that is truly the Native American Sandwich.
