Do you remember what a cultural phenomenon homemade nachos were? If you are under thirty, you probably don’t even realize there was a time when people didn’t have nachos.

No, I don’t remember, and I’m over thirty, but this is applicable to my life now. I can’t just swing by the local Applebee’s or TGIFridays and order some extreme nacho platter. Some German restaurants serve nachos but you might not want to eat them. They use Doritos instead of plain corn chips and canned tomato sauce as salsa. Latin American food (or any variation thereof) is not popular here at all. I find that sad, they have no idea what they’re missing. I don’t know, maybe they like their fucked up version of nachos.

That reminds me: once Frank told me to order the Nacho Schnitzel at a restaurant. It came out with crushed up Doritos as the breading and served with what tasted like spaghetti sauce. It wasn’t terrible, just weird. It grossed me out in the same way as a deep-fried Mars bar.
