Nachos! Yes, that mouth-watering snack that combines a good number of crunchy chips and an abundant amount of diverse ingredients and toppings that's just perfect for those movie marathons or picnics with the family.
It's so enticing you'll want to gulp it down as soon as the smell of cheese and other ingredients reach the holes of your nose.
Once tasted, your taste buds will wish they had mouths of their own to devour that sumptuous snack.
You know it's incredibly delicious.
You know you can put almost anything on it.
You know dozens of ways to prepare it.
And most probably even know where it came from.
But do you know how it was made? Like most of the great inventions of our time, the snack called "nacho" was also discovered in this manner-or rather a desperate manner.
In the year 1943, a dozen or so wives of U.
S.
soldiers stationed at Fort Duncan were roaming around in Piedras Negras, a city of Mexico, and went to eat in the already closed Victory Club, a restaurant owned by Rodolfo De Los Santos.
The master of the hotel named Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya happened to still be there and had no choice but to serve the insistent Americans.
Trying to make something out of anything he had, which were tortillas and cheese; he sliced the tortillas into wedges, added an ample amount of longhorn cheese and heated them quickly.
After melting the cheese, he added jalapeno peppers and served the dish with the name "Nacho's Especiales" which means "Nacho's special dish.
" Thanks to those insistent Americans who apparently couldn't read the word "closed" or intentionally disregarded it, we now enjoy this delectable snack called Nacho!
