This one time , in my mid 20s. I was dating this guy. He invited me over. Said he was going to make me nachos. He said he had a whole fancy way to make them. Really talked them up.

I get there and he puts chips on a plate. Covers in cooked ground hamburger and yellow cheese. Microwaves it.

(That was all the ingredients) And presented it to me like it was his best.

I mean maybe it was.

I personally don’t like that nasty yellow nacho cheese.

But I ate it anyway and complimented him.

But I was super disappointed. I still remember the event. 25 years ago.

Also I felt bad for him that he apparently didn’t know how to cook. He was like 27 then.

This image somehow brought up all those feelings of disappointment after all the hype and then followed by pity for the creator.

that is one of the stories that it is upvoted because it is both funny and sad :) i feel bad for you but also you have to look at the bright side: you learned something (e.g. to value proper cooking skills for yourself)

15 years later and you still think about him. His plan worked.

  She married him so he didn’t die of scurvy.

I got nachos once in a “Mexican” restaurant in Greece.

It was basically this, but instead of the hamburger, it was 4 kidney beans. Literally 4. The cheese solidified back into a sheet that could be lifted off the chips entirely. My partner and I laughed so hard that people were giving us weird looks.

So hey, maybe he’s got a job now as a cook in Greece!

  Dear Mexicans, Europe needs you and your culinary skills so bad. Forget the U.S, get your ass to Greece !

    Oh, there’s more than just Greece that needs them. But I expect that in terms of climate, I’d rather go from Mexico to an island in the Ionian than Mexico to Helsinki.

    I’ve met some hot blooded Mexicans who would call Helsinki mild, reminder Mexico ain’t all hot.

  I’d say “Mexican” food sucks in most European countries. I had exactly what you had in several places here. The only thing I’ve ever had that I could call real Mexican food was the tacos I ate from a food stand made by an actual Mexican in Netherlands.

    I had awesome Mexican food in Ghana. Turns out it was some actual guy from Mexico that was living there and opened a restaurant. It helps that Mexico and all of West Africa have the same spice tolerance, but man, it was great. Cheese, as it turned out, was his logistical block, everything else was available or could get shipped in.

    My brother moved to Norway recently from the Southwest US. He misses quality (and spicy) Mexican food every day.

Ghetto nachos have their place. I prefer making them with Doritos or Hint o Lime chips.
