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.

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.

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.

*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.

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.

>>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

>>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.

Can you please provide the 15 - 20 years of carefully collected nacho statistics that allow you to make this claim?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Inflation. I ain't paying 10 dollars for 8 chips and a slight drizzle.

Hadn't heard of them 15 years ago m8

they're a waste of chips
you eat the ones with the toppings and whats left is just a layer of plain ol chips

dips have progressed more than nachos have.

>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

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

If yes, good money or did you get a "deal?" If the latter, then you got what you paid for.

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

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.

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.
