Let Tamalehawk break down some basic nacho regulations. As you know, nachos are a year-round snack, with a peak season that runs from April to August, when outdoor dining is a more viable option. While there is no official governing body to enforce and review these rules, Tamalehawk likes to think that after serious soul-searching you can determine whether you are the Nachosen One.
First, there shall be no nacho-eating in a movie theater. The distracting crunch is a major infraction, punishable by chorus of shh-shing and barely-suppressed mutters of irritation. Movie-theater munching may be allowable in certain circumstances, such as when you're the only person in the theater, you own the theater, or it is an ironic showing of a Christopher Lambert movie. Next, sporting event nachos are permitted, as are pool-side nachos unless you are a lifeguard in which case gross. In all cases, the provided provisions must be observed: no ostentatious finger-licking, no cheese-to-seat contact, and no open-mouth chewing. When in Mexico, local nacho-chomping ordinances must be respected and upheld.
Tamalehawk: Any bird-brained notions or recommendations on lime-flavored chips, or chips of an organic/grain-y nature? Is it fair to say that lime-flavored chips impinge on nearly all salsa enjoyment? And that many organic chips are unrecognizable, but there are some sub rosa delights out there?
ReplyDeleteWhile the impulse to add lime to anything is worth rewarding, the execution in chip form seems synthetic and excessive. Let the dip do the work. Tamalehawk has been enjoying the Tostitos Natural line of chips; broad and sturdy with a satisfying salt level. No official remarks can be logged about a worthwhile organic alternative, but he'll do the required research shortly and return with a wildly confident decree.
ReplyDeleteFun project: If you meticulously brush off an entire bag of lime-dusted chips into a Dixie cup, you will have a unique, flavorful condiment that no one in their right mind will enjoy and that will give the bravely stupid souls who try it a throbbing temple like they were just laid out with a two-handed axe-handle blow.
ReplyDeleteTamalehawk heard about that tragic trend. It's wiping out entire rural towns in Nebraska. "Limeriding" is poised to be more destructive than meth. Sad.
ReplyDeleteI think the microscopic lime dandruff they put on those things tastes like sausage. Try it again, you will agree.
ReplyDeleteYes, after I said the dandruff tasted like sausage, I want you to try it. Try it.
