HI! Nachos are actually a dish similar to a traditional mexican meal, which is literally friend totilla chips slathered with every damn thing under the sun. It is baked and the chips soak up the juices and it's served on a platter. While I don't doubt Nacho lent his name to his snack, this mexican meal predates Nacho's nachos! There was a special on the food network about classic mexican meals, and I'll be damned if I can find it. :( It was on the show that featured two mexican hosts who were immigrants and landed their own cooking show. They went into detail about it. But yeah, like the Nachos we know today are a sort of "mini platter" version of this classic meal :)
you probably dont care at all but does anyone know a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the login password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Ryker Lennox thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
That degree of mispronounciation surely must come from a Brit. Or a New Englander. I'm currently in Connecticut. From Florida. There were some things I had to learn but due to '89 through "02 of the Simpsons in know how to pronounce Cosell. I believe Dan Castellaneta did the rendition. I was born in '80 and know nothing of the accuracy. Sorry.
Fun fact. In Farsi, “nachos” translates to “don’t fart.” More specifically it means “don’t silent fart” as there are different words for a loud and silent fart.
Well it's a lot easier to research when you enjoy the subject. I love researching food history, and I'm actually currently reading a book about the history of salt
It's so funny how English speakers accept the fact that we all pronounce things differently based on the region we come from but for some reason non-english speakers don't understand that and get mad when we don't pronounce things like they would in their specific language and it just doesn't make any sense.
@Hector T-- Yes, pronouncing every foreign word correctly *would* be a daunting task. But with Spanish the rules are *easy.* In Spanish every letter of the alphabet is *always* pronounced the same way. There are no long or short vowels, the accent is always on the next to last syllable, unless noted by an accent mark elsewhere in the word. It is *very* easy to learn to phonetically pronounce Spanish words and phrases. In Simon's case, he works with native Spanish speakers on the Visual Politik channel and he could easily call someone for pronunciations. Really, there are no excuses other than laziness or that insufferable Brittish superiority complex.
If you're interested, the nachos I grew up with were just like the ones you described, but we also browned up some hamburger meat and spiced it accordingly. We put the chips on the plate, slathered refried beans over them, covered them with the hamburger meat, topped it with cheese and jalapenos and, for some people, added guacamole/sour cream.
We did something similar in my state. It was chips, topped with taco seasoned meat (ground beef, steak or ground turkey) which is then topped with spicy cheese flavoring or melted cheese and jalapeno. It's quite tasty.
I'm gonna do that with taco seasoned meat, and make a bechamel jalepeno and cheddar cheese sauce. Then top it with lettuce and tomatoes. Or maybe pico de gallo
It always makes me laugh that the British accuse Americans of mispronouncing things, which we do to an extent. To them it's like an art form, though. Any foreign word gets intentionally and severely butchered. My mother is English and I think it's a subconscious arrogance toward other cultures going back to when they owned the planet.
I've had them both ways. When I worked at a local pizza place as a teenager in the early 80s, we'd sprinkle grated cheese on tortillas, add some jalapeno slices and toss it in the pizza oven to melt the cheese. Later, I worked at a movie theater, where we'd squirt Rico's nacho sauce on tortilla chips and add the jalapenos to it. Personally, I like to add more stuff to my nachos, and I really like Taco Bueno's nacho salad, so I make my own nacho salad at home, with beans, meat, cheese (both melted and grated), lettuce and tomatoes, and maybe some sour cream on top.
The latter is now the classic way to have nachos - I only ever see chips with cheese at stadiums, gas stations, and movie theaters. If you get them from a restaurant they're always going to be "loaded", or nacho salad as you call it. And it's so, so good.
NO!!! You'd be surprised how good caviar is on potato chips! It's absolutely divine! Yes, it's salty as hell, even with malasol (reduced salt) caviar, but it's also REALLY delicious and gives you a great excuse to drink lots of champagne!
As a person who still remembers Howard Cosell's voice sportscasting on the news, I just can't resist correcting your pronounciation! Every time he signed off he told us his name. "I'm Howard Co-sell" he would say, as in, to sell jointly, to co-sell. Not cossel as in "causel" or "cossette" but Coh Sell. Ok, thank you for listening, I'm NOT Howard Cosell!
Sweden introduced a national holiday on our "national day" a couple of years ago. With a sudden day off on June 6th, but no traditional ways or clear reasons to celebrate, many are calling it the nacho-nal day and basically drinking tequila and eating nachos.
Ignatius, in Bavaria, was shortened to Nazi, and used as a pejorative as Ignatius was a common name amongst the peasantry to mean backward, illiterate, uneducated, and that's the reason why Hitler's crew got called Nazis... was an insult, they didn't call themselves Nazis, nothing to do with "nationalist socialist".
One of the worst thing about losing my bottom teeth young is that I can't eat things like nachos or nuts. I've had dentures but can't wear due to pain from overgrown bone. I really miss getting to eat Taco Buenos Mexidips n chips. Hopefully I'll be able to save up the last couple thousand needed to get permanent dentures. But it's really hard when on disability.
I enjoyed this one alot, my grandfather knew Ignacio, meeting him later in life, not at the time he first created nachos. I grew up hearing about this and it's neat to see it in a video not just what my grandfather said.
OHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh, my lost childhood ... I remember eating nachos as a boy at the Club Moderno in Piedras Negras in the very beginning of the 1970s, and at the dining room of the Crosby Hotel in Villa Acuña (the "little restaurant" mentioned) in the same period. At the time I had no idea I was actually consuming the Ur-nachos, but nonetheless I've always held the Crosby's version to be the _sine qua non_ of the dish.
I've had toasted mashed rice chips with cheese on them before. It's basically the same thing, only that rice tastes different than corn does in this form; lighter, less sweet. But it is still good.
I grew up in Corpus Christi, and Austin in the 70s, and 80s. So, I remember those Nachos in the movie theater watching Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Star Wars. Also, when they made the transition from there to gas stations, and convenience stores. Ricos are basically the original gas station Nachos.
Your sponsors are called "Cheddar" but their logo has holes in the cheese? Sorry, I can't support them on the simple principle that they don't know what their own name represents smh LOL
Great viedo, thanks for making a well documented video, as being born and actually living in Piedras Negras, its sometimes sad how some other videos dont tell the complete story on dates and names. Thanks for the video! Have been a subscriber of this channel for long.
@@canag0d I'd hope so! Puns & word play are my favorite form of humor (dry sarcasm being a close 2nd) 😉 Mind you, I have 3 children under 10yo in this house.
Corn is the best, you can make all sort of deliciopus dishes with corn, from soups to bread, popcorn, anchos, tortillas, arepas (thick tortillas), salads, pizza toppings, cereal, coladas (they are like thick milkshakes) , natilla, or you can grill it as it comes and eat it with salt and butter
I usually eat more natural kind of foods, but man, I love them theatre nachos... when they have eye-wateringly hot jalapeños its even better... and the cheese so hot its like napalm... and settling into a comfy movie seat, ah the memories... Pasadena Cinema... great place to see movies...
Quick advice: use google translate to check how to pronounce foreign names, like Ignacio, it takes 10 seconds, specially if you are going to say it so many times on the video.
Just saw this one tonight and I usually binge watch these videos but hearing Simon pronounce the word nachos made me laugh and really want to watch the movie Fargo again! 😂 Btw, I love those accents!
There really is no substitute for fresh tortilla chips. You can debate whether the packaged ones taste better or not, but freshly fried/baked tortillas have a unique flavor that doesn't seem to be replicable.
Well then, I never knew nachos had a TexMex origin. Even living in San Antonio my whole life, I never knew any of this. I had to learn it from an englishman.
Based on the early descriptions, it would seem tortilla chips themselves weren't even known or common when nachos were invented. They referred to them as cut up tortillas. Fresh made chips, either potato or tortilla, are definitely a hell of a lot better than out of a bag. Imagine if most people ate fries they bought from bags at stores, it's the same thing with chips. Bags of chips are fine but hot out of the oil is so much better.
Bro the past was wild. People really just walked into restaurants and were like "nah I'll have none of this, make up something on the spot for me right now please."
Ha, I've never heard my hometown's name being pronounced so many times by a Brit before! BTW, I've actually been to the Rico's headquarters before to pick up some concessions items for a school festival thing during high school (my high school being located downtown just like the Rico's HQ, it wasn't a tough assignment). It's insane how big that building is for a downtown business!
Who knew the history of nachos was so recent! I figured my parents grew up with nachos! Maybe not my grandparents because the depression and all but I surely figured my father grew up with nachos at his local bowling alley.
Me too! Do you make your own chips after not finding them without corn or canola oil? Do you have other grain and food allergies? Autoimmune issues? I actually prefer chilli cheese fries ; ).
Wow. Never knew that. When I tell people from a Latin background my name I tell them it is Ignacio and not Ignatius as it is easier for them to pronounce. I should now add that they should call me Nacho for short.
In the 1980s, the Associated Press photographers identified Arlington Stadium as "Nacho Stadium" on their private audio network. They claimed that those gooey nachos were invented there and I always wondered if it was true. Well, it's sorta true. Thanks for the confirmation.
Love these videos. Although i like the British accent, it seems that along with your efforts to find out the real facts, you would put as much effort in proper pronunciation.
Don't American nachos have mince (ground beef I think you guys call it) in the mix? Here (down under) it's corn chips, cheese (real cheese, not that canned cheese sauce crap), beef mince, guacamole and sour creme. The chilli is usually in the sauce the beef is cooked in and/or stirred into the sour creme.

Never heard “Cosell” pronounced that way before. Simon’s pronunciations are often a bizarre delight.
Have you heard him murder the names of various famous Star Wars characters yet?

a brief Google search would no doubt bring up videos of Howard pronouncing his own name.
Odd from an article so well researched in the subject matter.
No, he butchered it. Made his 'research' questionable.
Fun fact. In Farsi, “nachos” translates to “don’t fart.” More specifically it means “don’t silent fart” as there are different words for a loud and silent fart.
Huh
Persians really get farts.
As in, don't let er rip silently? Because... I do that all the time
More research done into the origin of Nachos than some students put into their thesis papers...
It's a living. ;-)
More research than CNN or Fox puts into their news broadcasts
Well it's a lot easier to research when you enjoy the subject. I love researching food history, and I'm actually currently reading a book about the history of salt

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that "Who Invented Nachos" is also sponsored by Cheddar? XD Is that too cheesy?
Blasphemy, nothing can be too cheesy!
They paid for it i bet. More cheesy videos to come.
Its nat cho cheese.
Like rain on your wedding day ironic.
It's not ironic, but it is hysterical. And probably purposeful. I know I had the opportunity, I would take it.
La pronunciación de Ignacio 😂
He pronouncing it how.it would sound within his dialect of English, therefore it's not incorrect just not spanish.
He pronounces a hard "h" when saying hors d'oeuvres. He also pronounces Howard Cosell's name with the stress on the first syllable.
It's so funny how English speakers accept the fact that we all pronounce things differently based on the region we come from but for some reason non-english speakers don't understand that and get mad when we don't pronounce things like they would in their specific language and it just doesn't make any sense.

You made all that up
This is Howard Coe-SELL. The first syllable rhymes with toe and is not stressed. And sell sounds like Bell. we want to hear both Ells

My dad is from Piedras Negras. He told me the story of Ignacio Anaya like 17 years ago. He used to deliver beer to the dude's restaurant.

Very interesting video though! :)
I believe Howard Cosell's last name is pronounced Co-Sell.

One small correction: Ignacio/Nacho are not only Mexican names. They are pretty common in pretty much all Spanish speaking countries.
So where does Nacho cheese come from, and are Doritos' Nachos based on the same idea?
"Gooey, yellow, cheese-like substance..." Lovely.
Hmm, Nachos and Cheddar interesting combination.

We need an update on who added the spiced beef to nachos.
The way Brits pronounce nachos, tacos, and pasta...UGH.
At least they don't say "posta" instead of pasta like the yanks.
We Yanks say "PAH-stah" just like the Italians say it. Don't be a dick.
Well they think they are saying an "a" like in Italian, but it's more like an "o". Some may say it like that. Most don't. Cheers.
My girlfriend is Sicilian, dude. She pronounces it "PAH-stah." Like "basta," which is Italian for "enough." Get the point?
