International Nachos Day

October 21, 2013 Nachonomics
Ladies, my lips will be cheesy today... 

Ladies, my lips will be cheesy today... 

Halloween, Christmas, 4th of July, all holidays with recognizable dates that your calendar probably already has marked. One day however that is probably not on said calendar (and if it is please let me know as that's a calendar I would like to purchase) is October 21st, International Nachos Day. And by "October" I of course mean "Octchober"  because if there's a day to make nacho puns on it is today.

So how do we celebrate such a day? Some people try and consume five pounds of nachos in one shot. Others leave an empty chair and place setting at their table in tonight during their nacho dinner in honor of Ignacio Anaya. Really so long as you're eating some nachos in some fashion you're probably good. And perhaps if you're lucky the spirit of Ignacio Anaya will come visit you tonight, as this is the one day of the year when the veils between the worlds are weak enough that he is allowed to venture forth in search of the perfect plate of nachos... 

Who wouldn't want a visit from a spirit like this?

Ladies and Gentlemen, there is a problem in the world, and it's our stupid patent system. Normally I just bitch and moan about these kinds of things and never do anything about it because it doesn't mess with my life at all, but now it's hit home. It's hit nachos.

Hickory Smoked Pulled Pork, Beer BBQ Sauce, Monterey Jack Cheese, Chopped Bacon, Diced Tomatoes, and Chopped Scallions.

The Husk Cherry. The Jamberry. The Mexican Tomato. Jitomate. All aliases for the black, or should I say green, sheep of the Tomato family, the Tomatillo.

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!
