My girlfriend says nachos aren't a meal

For some people, a musubi is a meal so your question should be whether
or not nachos could be considered a banquet. Your main problem is a GF
that won't shut up about the stinkin' nachos.

My recommendation is that you make nachos only when she ain't around and
keep your makings hidden from her. I keep my nacho stash safely tucked
way way back under my bed. For added security, I like to cover it up
with a stack porn mags.

Personally, I'd just find a new GF that loves nachos - my understanding
is that this would not be too hard to do.

We're talking about nachos here pal. How much more critical can an
issue get? This is far more important than which way the TP goes in
the holder ya know.

Piccadilly street (and Circus) is in London. Piccadilly caffeterias are

mean piccalilly; though not to my taste, the relish would make the most
sense, in context, as a substitute for salsa verde.

That's a totally different scenario, Dave. It sounds like this guy puts out
a (single) plate of piled high "nachos" and calls it dinner. After that he
probably sits her down in front of a television set to watch wrestling ;)

I like pasta, certainly. But not tons of it. I've had a hot spinach salad,
the spinach wilted and tossed in olive oil with sauteed garlic cloves.
(It's the only way I like "salad"). After that I had tortellini in a
basil-cream sauce with a light sprinkling of freshly grated nutmeg and
parmesan (per an earlier discussion.) It was not heavy, not tons of food.
No dessert. Sorry, but this guy's description of nachos don't begin to
describe some pasta dishes. And not all "Americans" eat as much as your
kitchen table.

Hey, if a musubi is good enough for the President . . .

That's a thought, start living on spam musubis and after a while nachos
might start looking good to her.

Looking back at his OP, there is nothing to indicate a huge amount of
food..... bed of tortilla chips, smear of beans, scoop of beef, cheese,
lettuce, onion, picante sauce.Translate that to pasta a meat and tomato
sauce with cheese.

When I make nachos as a meal, each person gets their own plate with exactly
what they want on it. For instance, husband and daughter like guacamole and
sour cream. I don't. Daughter and I like black olives. Husband doesn't.
He likes hot salsa and tons of it. I like medium salsa. Daughter likes
mild. I like green onions and tomatoes. They don't. I know salsa is
tomatoes but... They are like that. So is my brother.

Anyway... Unless there are a lot of veggies on the nachos, there will be a
salad or a bowl of cut up raw veggies to accompany. I don't usually put
meat on my nachos. I will put beans on mine sometimes. Husband and
daughter prefer no beans but they wouldn't turn them down if I did put them
on.

If we are in a super hurry, I'll just nuke some chips and cheese. Daughter
will add sour cream to hers and we will eat baby carrots along with them.
We had to do this on the day we got our new cats. We had planned to go out
to eat because we didn't think the lady from the adoption agency would
contact us for a couple of days but she came in, approved the adoption right
away and sent us home with the cats.

We didn't have time to go out to eat then because daughter had dance class.
That meant we had to have a quick meal. Yes, most people would probably eat
a sandwich. But neither of us are big on sandwiches and prefer to eat those
only as a last resort thing like if we have to eat in the car on the way to
someplace. Or if we have to pack the meal to go. The nachos are just about
as quick to make and we just like the taste of them better than a sandwich!

Mark,

OF COURSE that's how it should be done!!! Otherwise Hyatt hotel
housekeeping staff couldn't very well make the fancy folded pointy free
end! That and more realistically you can plainly see the free end when
it comes into view from above, not below... that is unless... you poop
standing on your head! :D

Best,

Andy

Bingo! That's why it matters. If you don't have
the paper the right way, the roll cinches against
the wall and the paper tears off after only a sheet
or two.


But it's not unusable in the other direction.
In the former case, someone has to reverse the roll
if it's put on wrong. In the latter case, it
doesn't matter.
 
Ok! Nice thread I've started. Some points I'd like to make, just to
clear some things up:

0) This was not a troll post.

1) "Picadillo/Picadilly" Spelling mistake on my part. I meant
"Picadillo", sorry.

2) She actually doesn't like nachos or "mexican food" of any sort-
real or texmex. I only make them for myself. When she is over I cook
things that she likes, and I'm not talking about stuff coming out of a
box. Other times, we go out. I pick up the tab, every time. I'm not
talking Arby's or McDonald's either, it's typically mid-road
restaurants and diners. I usually let her pick the venue. Hopefully
this quells the "he's a cheapskate" argument.

3) As stated, I make them for myself. She says "nachos are an
appetizer, not a meal", but I figured I should ask people who know
food, know cooking and know their way around the kitchen. Most people
here in rec.food.cooking would probably fall in that category. I'm no
expert myself, but I feel that I've got a clue. She doesn't really
cook much herself, fwiw.

4) We have the same discussion about TP. She's overhand, I'm
underhand.

5) When I make "a plate of nachos", the plate in question is about
7". It's not some huge pile, and I only eat one.

6) I abhor wrestling. I also don't watch television.

7) "Since you seem to be the aggressor, I vote "No - It's not a meal".
" Nice.

8) Hardly a domestic dispute. I was actually asking to see if maybe,
just maybe she's right, and I'm wrong. I suppose that the answer is
still blowin' in the wind.

9) Sorry for the shitstorm this caused. That was never my intent.

Thanks and bacon planks.

Well, IMO it does matter. I think that, given the combination of the
starch component of the chips, the meat on top, the various forms of
vegetation and the dairy component provided by the cheese, it is every
bit as much a meal as a plate of pasta. Most people would consider the
pasta a meal.
