I'm not into Nachos as I really don't care for corn chips, and I
especially don't like crisp corn tortillas, like eating glass shards,
if I'm going to eat chips I much prefer plain potato chips, no dips
either. The only way I enjoy dips is with crudites (raw veggies) and
then I prefer a tangy horseradish dip. One of my favorite sandwiches
is lettuce, tomato, and mayo on white toast stuffed with Ridgies...
don't need any stinkin' bacon for crunch. I don't like melted cheese
either, melting good cheese is a waste... for melting nothing better
than Velveeta or mozz. Nachos is really tex-mex, was invented to
celibrate my birthday:
