Nachos (Hispanic)


Nachos, a friendly favorite of everyone's desires! Nachos are gooey, cheesy, crunchy and just straight
on delicious! It is all anyone could ask for, chips, cheese, meat/protein, and some type of garnish! Nachos are so popular because they can have everything and anything on them! You can add salsa, Pico, vegetables, or even different cheeses! Nachos are classic and an easy dish to make!




Assembling/Creativity 

Nachos are the best food to experiment with. You add or take away anything you want. The generic toppings to nachos are usually queso, corn tortilla chips, beef or chicken, tomato (or salsa), sour cream, and avocado; but it isn't limited to just those. I have seen people change nachos based on different parts of the world. I have seen American nachos where they add ground beef, American cheese, ketchup and mustard! I have also seen people make barbeque nachos by putting short rib or pulled pork and using barbeque sauce and cheese of their choice to make some really cool and delicious nachos! I have even seen a sushi nacho bowl! 




Memories and Good Times

I love food so much because it is good obviously, but because it brings people together and it gives something to share about. I have a lot of memories of going to Mexican restaurants and enjoying a nice plate or bowl of nachos with my family. My favorite topping is cilantro, I love the strong herb taste it gives and I think it complements the dish very well. All food is one of the three essentials of life, so why not enjoy it for a little? Food can bring people together and can make happy endings. What are some of your favorite memories involving food?

 Dishes From Around the World Soup Dumplings (Asian) Soup dumplings are one of those foods where they are so delicious but also very risky at the same time. If you eat them while they are still hot, be careful because, as the name suggests, the soup in the dumplings is extremely hot usually. I have had incidents where I would burn my entire mouth because of the hot soup exploding into my mouth and scalding it. I also have many friends that have scalded their mouths because of soup dumplings. Story  One of the stories is a couple of my friends and I went to a local Chinese place in my town. We ordered the beef soup dumplings as a sort of appetizer for our meals. It doesn't take long for them to come in a steam basket, and you could just tell they were fresh off the steamer. So my friend had the bright idea to grab it with his bare hand and just sucks it into his mouth. Once he did that, he instantly regretted it. The super hot dumpling popped into his mouth as he sucked it into it,

 Dishes from Around the World Sushi (Japanese) Sushi is one of my favorite dishes in the whole world! The vibrant colors, the tasty combinations of flavors, the delicacy and careful handling is what makes sushi so appetizing. Sushi is a roll of seaweed usually filled with rice and whatever else you would like, most commonly fish or a different protein along with vegetables or fruit. My personal favorite sushi roll is a fried sushi roll with avocado, crab, and jalapenos.  Creativity and Appearance The sushi roll is another one of those dishes that can be experimented with. It offers you so much to combine along with giving you the chance to be creative. Some ways you can do it is by cutting it and putting caviar (fish eggs) on top or with a vegetable garnish like cucumber or carrots. A roll of sushi should always be packed tight, and each cut should be about an inch in thickness, any bigger and you will have a hard time fitting it all in your mouth at once.  Assembly/Process I have made
