A few years ago I went to a football game in Pittsburgh. Knowing nothing at all about football, I more or less drank my way through what seemed like a 4 hour ordeal, where 2 groups of men just ran around aggressively trying to hug one another. Let’s just say, I am not one for sport. I was never very athletic growing up, and I don’t understand anything football-related at all — unless of course it’s European football or Soccer as we north americans call it. I may not be into sport, but I sure am into the foods that surround these noisy, testosterone-fueled events.
Like Nachos. Nachos are the best. No seriously, they are actually like the best food. Everyone like nachos; which is great for vegan nachos, because this cheese sauce isn’t trying to be cheese, it’s trying to be that fun gooey cheese sauce from a packed football stadium; which, let’s face it, isn’t, actually, really, cheese at all.
Nachos are such a simple and crowd-pleasing snack, that is totally customizable for any flavour palette. I prefer the traditional Tex Mex style nachos, mainly because I love Mexican-inspired dishes. This dish is the easiest thing to make for a party ever, and no one cares if it only took you 12 minutes to prepare.
