The humble nacho was invented by Ignacio Anaya in 1943 in Piedras Negras, Mexico - a town along the Texas border. There is a plaque in Anaya's honor in the city and his son still judges the annual nacho competition. It's interesting to read about a food that has a known history. So many foods have questionable birth stories. But nachos were invented on a distinct evening in 1943 when some American soldier's wives wanted dinner after the restaurant was closed. Anaya, not one to miss out on serving a paying customer, wiped up a quick dish of crisped tortillas, cheese and jalapenos and called is nachos especiales - Nacho was his nickname! But if I were on the committee who decides on international food holidays, I would certainly have picked a day in the summer. There's something about a summer day with a cool beer that just screams nachos. Today is wet, cold and very un-nachoey. But if you are in the mood, go ahead and celebrate! I love them with beans and cheese baked on and then added sour cream, guacamole and plenty of salsa. Yum!!! What's your favorite nacho dish? 10/21/2009, 5:14 pm Send Email to TexasMadness   Send PM to TexasMadness Firlefanz Administrator Global user (premium) Registered: 05-2003 Location: Germany Posts: 2713 Reply | Quote Re: Happy International Day of the Nacho! Plain nachos with guacamole. Problem is, it's hard to find good guacamole here. --- - Firlefanz Mystical Adventures Hannah Steenbock Hannah Steenbock's Forum 10/22/2009, 5:59 am Send Email to Firlefanz   Send PM to Firlefanz Saijen SilverWolf Head Administrator Global user Registered: 10-2004 Location: Upper North East Tennessee Posts: 3730 Reply | Quote Re: Happy International Day of the Nacho!
