This, my friends, is called "Man-Food"....

Monday, September 1, 2008

Since it's Labor Day and the kick-off day of the UT football season,  I'd thought I'd introduce you to this concept that's been rampant at our house since the moving in of one 21 year old, who will remain anonymous;   place whatever leftovers there are (chili, chicken etouffe, chimichanga filling)  over nacho chips,  add cheese,  a hearty amount of jalapenos and salsa,  and voila......new man-food is born.   I have nothing personally against this.    I even tried it.   There is something suspicious about kielbasa on nachos, but otherwise,  they were good.   There are some places I feel that I have to draw the line,  however.    Chicken spaghetti nachos?   Crab cake nachos? Mashed potato nachos?   There seems so be nothing sacred that can't be at least considered a nacho topping.   He thinks he could start a new business at sporting events.   "Come get your meatloaf nachos here!"   He may be onto something.   Now,  when I'm making dinner, however, my mind immediately has visions of my latest culinary creation (often which I might consider dainty or refined)  being manhandled with cheese and jalapenos and beer.    Sun-dried tomato quiche nachos, anyone?
