Don't Use Nachos As A Weapon

January 15, 2020 Nachonomics

When I look at an order of nachos I see an endless galaxy of flavor potential in front of me, just waiting to be consumed and turned into an endless galaxy of goop in my guts. Others, not so much, and that’s why we’re here today. Yes it’s another year, it’s another person using nachos as a weapon in an attack. What a time to be alive.

Detroit. That should be explanation enough right there AMIRITE??? Anyhow, in an incident aboard a bus, a woman attacked the driver, proceeding to beat and drag them from their seat. To make matters worse, this was while the bus was in motion, but fortunately it came to a stop in an empty lot and not a convent or something. However, to make matters even worse, the woman initiated the fight by, not first throwing a punch, no, but instead the order of nachos she was eating at the driver. This was truly a no win situation for everyone and everything involved.

I have to assume that using nachos as a weapon was the result of a crime of passion and not forethought. Throwing nacho chips isn’t like throwing ninja stars, it’s more like throwing a warm handful of frozen leaves covered in goop, more annoying than dangerous. If you’re going to fight with Mexican food, instead you should try…

  • Burrito: Large and dense. Like getting hit with a football. Somewhat effective.

  • Chimichanga: Also large and dense, but also deep fried. Like getting hit with a deep fried football. Also somewhat effective.

  • Deep Fried Ice Cream: Perhaps the densest of the Mexican food, even more so if frozen. Like getting hit with a candle pin bowling ball. If you are getting a Deep Fried Ice Cream that is closer to the size of a baseball or softball, you need to go to a better Mexican restaurant. Extremely effective, if you have some method to keep frozen.

  • Bag of Avocados: Much better than a bag of guacamole, which is about as good as a bag of flan, which is not good. You could do some real damage with a bag of avocados. Most effective, if you can find a Mexican place that will just sell you a bag of avocados. Or just a bunch of avocados if you bring your own bag.

I guess in this world it is too much to ask that people not fight in general, and probably also too much of an ask for them to not fight with food. But with nachos? Is this poor world to irrevocably broken that even nachos can’t catch a break? I wish every night that my children can grow up in a world without senseless violence against nachos, but will it happen? Only through your hopes and prayers could we be lead into this glorious future, so never give up, never stop, and never use nachos as a weapon. Thank you and God bless.

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!
