Nachos Time: Nachos in the News - Basketball, Choking, and Working Out

March 25, 2014 Derek Sotak

Nachos Time: Nachos in the News -  A convenient mouthful of  short form nacho news, topped with the cheese of truth, jalapeno slices of journalism, beans of education, and other toppings of various questionable informative analogies. We bring you nacho news one chip at a time.

Welcome to Nachos Time, for when nacho related things happen in the news, but nothing in depth to write a real article about. Here’s what’s been going on with nachos recently:


ON NACHOS IN BASKETBALL

Basketball team the Denver Nuggets, or the Den’ Nugs, the same team that not so long ago decided to ban nachos in the locker room and were doing terribly because of it, are apparently turning around, due ironically in this case to an incident involving nachos, THE VERY FOOD THEY DECIDED TO BAN IN THE LOCKER ROOM I TOLD YOU ABOUT EARLIER IN THIS OVERLONG SENTENCE! Allow point guard Ty Lawson to explain.

They get rid of nachos, they suck. They bring nachos back, boom, 31 points. I don’t know much about sports, but I think the facts speak for themselves.


ON CHILDREN CHOKING ON NACHOS

Back when I was in school you didn’t get nachos in the cafeteria. If you were lucky you got Pizza Grilled Cheese on alternating Fridays, which was delicious but not something you want to serve growing kids to keep them healthy. Also they might not have served nachos because they’re choking hazards for tiny humans with miniature esophaguses. Good thing there are custodians like John “The Janitor” Mason on the job.


ON A NACHO WORKOUT

This is not the Nacho Workout.

This is not the Nacho Workout.

So these are some things you can do to work off eating some nachos. Why you would only eat half a plate as she describes is beyond me, but as a diet website I presume they know what they’re talking about. Of course if the only thing you ate during the day was a plate of nacho that would still put you 800 calories less than your average 2000 calorie diet and in itself be a diet. Look at that, I just made up The Nacho Diet. Check please.

Nachonomics: ('na-cho-'na-miks)

noun. The branch of knowledge concerned with the production, consumption, and distribution of nachos.

Book: Complete Nacho Knowledge Book: Complete Nacho Knowledge
Book: Complete Nacho Knowledge
$20.00

A copy of "The Field Guide to Nachos", "Nachos & You", and "Recipes from the Nachonomicon". This is literally and literately all the nacho knowledge you will ever require.

The Field Guide to Nachos, a pocket sized reference to the history, types, and background of the greatest of Mexican delicacies.

  • READ... The true story of how Ignacio Anaya created "The Nacho" in 1943.

  • LEARN... How nachos moved from Mexico and spread across America like shredded cheese melting across a pile of chips.

  • KNOW... the real difference between natural cheese versus pasteurized processed cheese product. It's terrifying.

  • DIFFERENTIATE... between kinds of popular nachos that are to be found in our modern restaurants.

Nachos & You, a pocket sized manual on, well, living your life the nacho way.

  • READ... The "true" story of how Gentleman Frank Liberto (Not to be confused with the upstanding Frank Liberto of Rico's or the Frank Liberto of Martin Luther King Jr. assassination infamy) created "The Nacho" in 1976. I say "true" because it is an obvious satire and parody.

  • LEARN... To pickle your own jalapenos for varying degrees of “fun” and “profit”, but more importantly bragging rights on being more artisinal than your friends.

  • KNOW... The science of creating nachos with circular chips as opposed to triangular chips and when to use each so as to not cause embarrassing cultural faux pas.

  • EXPERIENCE... The terror of “Nacho Fingers”, and the joy of curing yourself of them to avoid being ostracized by the community at large.

Recipes from the Nachonomicon, a pocket sized cookbook of all the finest types of nachos from throughout the ages, all now easily available at your fingertips.

  • READ... The History of the Nachonomicon and how it became the blueprint for all the nachos you know and love today!

  • LEARN... How to cook the finest examples of each member of the nacho family from "Artisanal" to "Single Serving." (There's no general type of nacho that begins with "Z" so that's as good as it gets alphabet wise, and I wouldn't want to trick you into thinking there was a type of called "ZBBQ Nachos" or something.)

  • KNOW... The joy that comes of making you, or a loved one, a delicious meal of nachos that will both satiate your hunger and allow you to know the true satisfaction of being able to provide the sustenance to keep a human being alive.

  • TASTE... Nachos, and lots of them, once you make them of course.

With these three books, you can feel secure in the knowledge that you'll be able to give a T.E.D. talk on every single aspect of nachos. Probably closer to three T.E.D. talks as a matter of fact! Do they even let you do that? I don't know, but with nacho knowledge like yours you will undoubtedly be the first!
