Nachos should never be served in a deep bowl.
They should be spread out on an extra-long plate so every chip is covered with toppings.
Stand firm and chant with me: “Yard of nachos! Yard of nachos! Yard of nachos!…”
Ignacio “El Nacho” Anaya is credited for creating nachos in 1943 in the city of Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico, just over the border from Eagle Pass, Texas.
But he didn’t invent the tortilla chip: they were created by Rebecca Webb Carranza in the 1940s as a way to make use of misshapen tortillas rejected from the automated tortilla manufacturing machine that she and her husband used at their factory in Los Angeles. She found that the rejected tortillas, cut into triangles and fried, were a great snack, and she sold them for a dime a bag at the El Zarape Tortilla Factory.

Randy Cassingham is best known as the creator of This is True®, the oldest entertainment feature on the Internet: it has been running weekly by email subscription since early 1994. It is social commentary using weird news as its vehicle so it’s fun to read. Click here for the site — basic subscriptions are free.
Comments? Sorry: Facebook retired their commenting system (they didn’t even bother to alert me). Just as well, I suppose, but sadly there is no way to recover the many hundreds of comments made on this site. Lesson learned: never rely on someone else’s site for prime functions, especially “social media”!
Since this site is mostly retired now (maximum of one new post per month), I did decide that since all comments are now gone that I would not attempt to install any new commenting system. -rc
