Talk:Chimichanga

message: This is Tex Mex, nothing to do with the Mexican stuff.
BTW, the whole article is completely made up promotional stuff for a pseudo-Mexican restaurant in the US  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 15.203.169.228 (talk) 09:58, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

message: According to the History Channel, although I'm not sure which program, the Chimichanga was invented at Tucson's El Charro. This is also accepted locally as fact.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 06:53, December 5, 2006 (talk • contribs) 68.226.21.159

message: According to the story, restaurant's owner accidentally threw a burrito in the fryer and said a bad word.
Spanish has a lot of bad words depending on the country of origin, but there is a bad word from Mexico that's written as follows: "CHINGAdamadre" (When beeing really really angry), but since Mexicans change bad words into other comon but similar words that sound more or less the same it could well be that they changed that bad word into Chimichanga.
Then again, it is true that Chimichanga was invented in the US and it is completly Non-Mexican food, Burritos were invented in a Mexican city by the border and are mostly unknown in the rest of Mexico with that name.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.73.98.32 (talk) 17:04, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

message: :A third, and perhaps most likely possibility, is that the chimichanga, or chivichanga, has long been a part of local cuisine of the Pimería Alta of Arizona and Sonora, with its early range extending southward into Sinaloa, not exactly. 
What is the force of the last two words, "not exactly"? I can guess what they might have been meant for, but I can't tell. It's bad writing, it adds confusion rather than clarity, and I'm deleting the phrase. --Thnidu (talk) 13:04, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

message: I don't know if it's sufficiently notable to be included on the main page, but Chimichanga is also the name of a chain of 36 TexMex restaurants in the UK. Website: http://www.chimichanga.co.uk/ 
Having never heard of a chimichanga before, when I visited one of their restaurants and saw a dish with the same names as the restaurant I assumed they had invented it, but having looked around their website they do not make any such claim that I can see.Jackd88 (talk) 18:34, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

message: Chimi redirects here. Perhaps there should be a disambiguation page between this and Chimichurris, which are also referred to as "chimi" (not to be mistaken with Chimichurri, which is not usually called "chimi") --139.47.117.211 (talk) 15:49, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

message: It feels worth considering mentioning in the article that the dish has been popularised by the character Deadpool from Marvel Comics, as given it seems to be primarily a TexMex dish it's unlikely it'd be as well known (at least by name) if not for the comic character.

replies: text: No opinion on that, but minor correction for accuracy: although the chimichanga has spread widely, it is definitely not TexMex. Barefoot through the chollas (talk) 23:37, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

message: I've been discussing, ordering and eating chimichangas for almost 50 years, in the Tucson area mostly, but also as far afield as the U.S. east coast and the UK, and have never heard anyone use the vovel [æ] in the third syllable. The claim needs a very solid source or correction to the vowel actually used. Barefoot through the chollas (talk) 22:18, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah. I've never heard anything but  [tʃɪ.miːˈtʃɑŋ.ɡə] or something close to it my entire life. Will edit once I have access to a PC to show multiple pronunciations with the original one as a secondary. 2600:100C:B05F:A3A5:0:2C:1CA5:ED01 (talk) 00:27, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Right, except for the length marked for the second vowel (pretty much guaranteed not long due to being unstressed), yours is the only version I've ever heard in anglicized speech. Barefoot through the chollas (talk) 13:05, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
