How come nachos aren't as popular as they were 15 to 20 years ago?
>>8092067
they get soggy so you can't eat them with your hands. it's just messy and not as fun as it looks to eat.
not to say i don't eat nachos ever, but when i do, about 1/4 into finishing i start using a fork because the tortilla chips get so soggy.
The technology of hot nacho cheese dispensers was a new novelty back then, that being said you can still find them in most convenience stores and movie theaters
probably due to high def tv now people don't really have to go out to enjoy sports and therefore don't have to buy nachos.
>>8092072
Eat faster or stop using shitty cheese. They're better if you spread them out on a pan. Fuck you if you use a microwave.
I still order them,
>>8092067
it used to be cool because you cot them at the movies and the gas stations and different cheap food carts but then you realize you are eating fried dough with really cheap awful burger cheese
i mean you could get better ones but just eat a fondue if you are willing to go that far for nachos
>>8092098
that doesnt really look good
the guac is processed to a sludge and has that awful green colour that chep store guac has and the meat looks dry, plain and old
>>8092095
i never make nachos and would never use a microwave.
i only eat nachos when i go out because they're a typical appetizer and are cheaper and more filling than a lot of things.
>>8092067
Haven't really seen them much in europe, ever
I mean you can get them at the cinema but they come with little tubs of horrid pre-packaged ''"cheese''" on the side
Granted I don't know know if the real deal is any better, but
Because "good" nachos started to be judged based on the amount of toppings, and so places started dumping more and more and more shit onto them until they turn into a mountain of inedible shit.
Like this:

*correction, I have actually been to mexican restaurants a few times, and I did have nachos there
I meant to say you don't see them here in the fast-food context
Nachos are one of my favorite snacks. Nacho cheese sauce is easy to make, and I can just eat them with storebought tortilla chips or if I'm not feeling lazy fry cut up corn tortillas.
>>8092109
the guacamole is freshly made. living in a place that sells 3 avocados for a dollar I guarantee you dont know what youre talking about. the asada is fine no one needs rare steak on nachos. your opinion has been disregarded.
>>8092139
pico, crema, guacamole, cheese and carne asada..5 toppings..yeah that way too much.
Im sure youd be much more happier with velveeta and some nacho rings from 7-11. tell your mom to pick you ups some.
mmmm...nachos
>>8092168
>guacamole
You Cali/Texas fucks really need to find a different messiah.
>corona light
Bruh
>>8092179
>Cali/Texas fucks
Oh..those are the only places to get guacamole...
I forgot were on /ck/- fast food... THIS might be more your speed.

>>8092179
Ur just jealous of our avocados
>>8092192
>get guacamole
I am sure you meant avocados. Right?
>>8092213
I actually have a tree in my yard. But even so I don't flood every meal with it as if it was some sort of staple.
Pro-tip: always order nachos with chorizo when possible
>>8092244
>has a fruitless avocado tree
>>8092168
>Willingly turning fresh avocado into that awful paste
Also I'm sure that meat is "fine" lol
>>8092067
Millenials are killing the nacho
I worked in a cinema two years ago and nachos were extremely popular.
Only among middle easterners, though. No fucking clue why.
>>8092249
This man gets it.
Also,
>CHI
>>8092260
>stop topping chips with food I don't like
>nachos were good before the hipsters took over
>hurr
>>8092266
Ah, most of the Spanish placed near me don't even serve chirizo, it's sad.
>>8092067
20 years ago they were novelty. Today most folks realize they're made up corporate bullshit. Wish the same would happen to chicken nuggets.
>>8092067
white people
>aw man, they have the best queso
me (also white)
>You know that's just fucking cheese. It's fancy ethnic sounding name for fucking melting velveta cheese
>yeah, whatever man
>>8092287
The problem with nuggets is that they taste awful, maybe McDonalds and some other brand manages to disguise the disgusting taste and consistency enough plus they are drenched in barbecue sauce but literally anything is better, fried wings, tenders, drumsticks, whole lives, popcorn chicken everything is better than shitty nuggets
>>8092258
well the aspie pleb such as yourself can ask for them to chop the avocado...I understand certain textures disturb derelicts like yourself. maybe ask for the mild sauce as well.
>>8092233
no..we were talking about guac not avocados.
>>8092287
It's literally just some loose toppings over chips. It's designed to be easy to make, easy to eat. I really don't understand any corporate stigma associated with it.
>>8092067
Can you please provide the 15 - 20 years of carefully collected nacho statistics that allow you to make this claim?
>>8092316
No moron I mash it with a fork not bled it for an hour
Your avocado must be really fucking shitty if it needs to go through that to be edible
I dunno OP, but it's funny. I mean it's impossible to make bad Nachos.
I'll eat fucking any nacho - movie theater, 7-11, Taco Bell, uppity Tex-Mex nachos, or any down home cooked nachos.
>>8092316
>smooth paste
>not perfect for aspies
You are very, very wrong anon.
>>8092377
quit talking shit about guac, faggot
>>8092067
I say this all the time
>>8092377
>ranting on /ck/ about how guac is made
all my keks..
>>8092067
nachos were a late 90s early 00s meme like pimps, and hating on canada.
Steamy
Are you joking? Every restraunt has nachos
>>8092857
FIRE IT UP MAN
Holy fuck i think I know what i'm having for lunch today.
>>8092173
Those jalapeños are segregated worse than niggers in the 50's
>>8092067
Because 30 years ago Jay and silent Bob got blaaaaazzzzed, and ate all the good one's
>>8092578
>nachos were a late 90s early 00s meme like pimps, and hating on canada.
lmfao
>>8092297
Haha yeah man you tell them!!! Epic as f*ck
>>8092319
>I really don't understand any corporate stigma associated with it.
There's no such thing as nacho cheese. It was created in a corporate boardroom back at the time when salsa was still exotic to most of the US. Nowadays most folks have access to good tacos, which are easier to eat and better in every way.
Real 'chos comin through.
>no 'penos
'penos are pleb
>>8093263
Say that to my face and not online and see what happens.
man why does /ck/ pick the boring shit
don't y'all ever eat out at fun places
>>8092101
Fondue really needs to make a comeback
Haven't ordered nachos is a while but now I want a nacho hat like Homer got.
>>8092098
Ah, the carne asada nachos!!
You must be in Southern Cali??
I think people wisened up to the cheese.
Also, gen-xers (who bought all those nachos 15-20 years ago) got fat and are trying to lose weight.
>>8093259
Nachos were created with shredded cheese in mind though.
>>8093356
It's a bullshit dish. That's my point. It was novel 25 years ago when Mexican food was some great mystery to most of the country, just like egg foo yung was a novelty back when Chinese was exotic. But now it's becoming as much a relic as egg foo yung.
>>8092067
Because restaurants moved on to throwing nacho ingredients over fries instead of chips.
>>8092253
top f'ing kek
my dad just got me nachos from am pm :)
Round or triangle chips?
For these i like round. Especially loaded nachos. Feels like they hold stuff better.
Also taco bells nachos use to be way better.
>>8092067
Inflation. I ain't paying 10 dollars for 8 chips and a slight drizzle.
Hadn't heard of them 15 years ago m8
t. UK
they're a waste of chips
you eat the ones with the toppings and whats left is just a layer of plain ol chips
>>8092067
dips have progressed more than nachos have.
>>8093355
>I think people wisened up to the cheese
In my experience...
>comes in a large open topped can
>occasionally covered with aluminum in the fridge
>spends most of the day bubbling on the grill
>develops an orangish crust that has to periodically be skimmed off
>contains an unknown amount of foreign bodies, old fries, crumbs, flies, etc. that will never be recovered
And yet the townie moms will absolutely go to town on this stuff if their kids get cheese fries
>>8092067
Are tortillas chips with industrial cheddar sauce a good idea to get cheap nachos?
>>8092098
>that'll be $19.99 plus tips!
>>8098759
It costs half that at the most
Why are Mexicans so okay with soggy chips? I used to think it meant the restaurant was shit, but apparently I'm in the minority when it comes to it being a downside. I always make sure to make nachos that aren't soggy for a good amount of time
>>8100145
because mexicans have zero standards
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Hnc72zrH4A
>you now want nachos
>>8100145
Are these chips you paid money for?
If yes, good money or did you get a "deal?" If the latter, then you got what you paid for.
I know a drywall guy if you want a deal.
>>8092297
>queso
> fancy ethnic sounding name for fucking melting velveta cheese
you mean, the word cheese in spanish?
nachios are the original memetic food
they are superior memes now tho
>>8092109
Ayo ur moms calling saying 2 u, "ay y come ur undies got skidmarks feggit?!" Lmao cant even handle nachos pussyfegit
>>8092578
>not still pimping and hating canada
>>8100193
My brother, that scene always used to make me want nachos back then and still kind of does. Ultimate nacho-kino for sure.
>>8092213
>Live in New York my whole life
>Avocados around $1 each
>Move to Texas
>Expect better quality, cheaper priced avocados because of all the spics
>Literally the same fucking price
What gives? What places have avocados 3/$1?
>>8100839
California
>>8100986
Oh well. At least my cost of living in the center of a major city is still like half of what it would be like in commiefornia.
>>8100989
Or Jew york
>>8100996
Well Manhattan, yeah. I come from a suburb though.
>>8092095
goodness gracious that looks good. oh my gracious me... me goodness.
>>8092130
mexican cuisine is about the only thing they have going on. where I live has a nice Mexican community. they commit no crimes and provide excellent foods.
>>8092098
Carne asada nachos are bomb
I don't each messy shit in public. that shit if for when I can concentrate.
>>8092067
because the simpsons took the nacho meme to its logical extreme
>>8092067
I still love them
I wish I had a way to recreate the movie theater / baseball game nachos experience at home
>>8093263
that's not how you buy nachos, you stand all the chips up vertically, and then you smother them with cheese, that's the only way to eat them
>>8092098
>so much shit piled on the chips that you can't grab a chip without touching toppings and you have to get a fork and now you are just basically eating a taco salad
this is why we have reached peak nacho
gas station tortilla chip + processed cheese nacho best nacho
>>8093263
>didn't even cover all the chips
>>8093272
ah yes, the classic Pepto-Bismachos. my favorite
>>8101580
Can't you just buy the cheapest chips ever and go to wal-mart and buy one of those cans of nacho cheese?
I've never done it, but I imagine it's about the same.
>>8092098
>>8092168
>living in a place that sells 3 avocados for a dollar
I envy you so much. Here in Slovakia, at this time of the year, I just paid almost 1.8$ for one.
>>8092067
I know what you mean. Britfag here and most of the places I go to that serve nachos usually dump a bag of doritos under the toppings which really ruins it for me. I loved them when I was a kid though. Maybe theyve always done it.
>>8102313
$3.50 here in Norway
>>8092098
I'd rather have all that wrapped up in a tortilla and have the chips on the side, same with carne asada fries...doesn't make any sense to me.
I prefer to eat my nachos with no flavorings or toppings, just the salt and fried corn dough flavour.
>>8092098
I barely even see the nachos.
>>8092168
Goddamn this is such a reasonable plate of nachos. This is what they need to be all the time
