It’s National Nachos Day today!
Nachos are “a popular food based
on nixtamalized corn, of Mexican origin that can be either made quickly to
serve as a snack or prepared with more ingredients to make a full meal.” It is uncertain where nachos originated from,
however, it is believed to have been Piedras Negras, in Coahuila, Mexico.
Nachos are thought to have swept the United States throughout the 1950s. There
are may varieties, of nachos such as with cheese and salsa, or other toppings
like guacamole, ground meat, veggies (onions, peppers, olives, and tomatoes for
example), and even refried beans! There is, believe it or not, a cheese
designed specifically for nachos called – you guessed it – “Nacho Cheese.”
That’s the unhealthy looking liquidy cheese that is served in many cafeterias
or sports events. The thing is, it always looks nasty, and you know you will
regret consuming it, yet you buy them. Why do we do that?
To top it all off,
why not vote on the Daily
Poll?! And as an added bonus (because hopefully you’ve voted on the Daily
Poll), here’s a delightful little nacho joke:
One more thing – the year is
quickly coming to a close (yes, I realize there are two months left), and I’d
love to hear some feedback. Please fill out this quick
survey about what you’d like to see for next year!
