Nachos are one of life's simple delicacies. Such a simple idea, yet so much bold flavor, so much satisfaction! But not with every bite. Nachos have the disadvantage of all the good stuff being on top (chips, cheese, beans, salsa, quacamole, sour cream), and on bottom your just left with chips. This makes for an exciting meal that slowly degrades in quality and quantity. Joe Brown, a writer for the Gizmodo blog, put together a very interesting article, "How to Make Mathmatically Perfect Nachos." Mathmatically perfect? Really? It's just food, why do we need to involve math? Well, the link below will show you how. Surprisingly easy, and you will gain the utmost respect from friends, and family.
Check it out!
I would have never imagined that the perfect nacho would be a starfish! Haha. All jokes aside, it was about time some one came up with a wonderful way to keep people from digging their hands into bowls of chips, it also takes care of double dippers all in one. This really is a great idea not only because it works wonders but because math was also applied in order to figure it all out. Also, this was a great post. You gave some of your thoughts on it then pointed out things that we can all relate to but it still left the reader wondering what a perfect nacho was. Which ultimately made me click on the link. So far, im staying interested.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how the perfect nacho involves a bunch of math! Hence the starfish, haha. Stay interested my friend, that's what this blog is all about.
DeleteThis blog content interesting information and It is well presented. I especially appreciate the appealing photography which makes me want to taste it. I have somehow a comment on math and cooking: Every receipes is writen with some measuring. I love to cook and for some receipe you have to be really precise or it will not turn out right. For example to make a chocolate cream from scratch, wrong proportion would ruine either the taste or the creamy consistency.
ReplyDeleteWhen I worked for this Catering Company a few years ago we had a request to do a kid’s birthday party, and we all now hard it is to please a child’s palate. So, after scrambling through what seemed like a hundred menu suggestion I finale presented the idea to make single serve nachos, little maple corndogs and several other finger foods kids enjoy. Ironically, this particular nacho is the same type of nacho we constructed for the party and the kids and parents loved it. To comment on the statement made about the nachos being “mathematically” perfect, having gone to culinary school you would be amazed at the words used that float around the kitchen to describe the presentation, construction and taste of food. For example, my instructor always described his preference and sense of taste as having, “A sophisticated palate”. Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great looking blog post. It looks better to eat than to read about it. I agree that math is used in mostly all food, but the display of the nachos you posted looked fabulous, and proportions seemed nearly flawless. Me personally, I prefer to have my nachos made mathematically disproportional. When I think of nachos, I can smell and taste them as I am visualizing them. The hot chips, the nacho cheese, the seasoned sizzling meat of your choice, whole pinto beans, jalapenos, sour cream, and chives. I'm hungry now-
