I don't understand why people think Doritos complement other foods.
I wouldn't use the flavoured ones as part of other food, but eating corn chips with other food is a completely normal thing to do. That's what corn chips are for. Do you not understand the appeal of nachos? That's not nachos, but it's relatively similar - tomato, meat, cheese, sour cream, corn chips.

Doritos are substantially different from regular corn chips to the point that I'm confused why you would think I meant "corn chips" when I said "Doritos," specifically. I didn't say "corn chips" in general.

Regular tortilla chips or corn chips are fine. I love nachos. However, nachos made with "Doritos" taste awful because Doritos tend to be saltier than regular tortilla chips. I also think if you're making nachos then you should probably go for a lower sodium variety of tortilla chip because chances are whatever you're topping the nachos with is going to be salty enough already.

Different brands of chips vary in flavour and saltiness, there's nothing particularly unique about Doritos. Also salt is delicious.

Yes there is? Doritos of any kind are generally covered in a "cheesy" dust that you don't get from any other type of chip. they're very different from a standard potato chip or even other types of corn or tortilla chip

What? Plain Doritos just have salt, no cheese flavour. And cheese-flavoured corn chips are not unique to the Doritos brand. :confused:

Nacho Cheesier, the bag in the picture, the most common flavor of Doritos. The Doritos, which are almost always flavored corn chips. Doritos has a "just corn chips" flavor but come on man, Doritos arent exactly the chip you buy for just tortilla chips, 9 times out of 10.

I'm not unaware that plain Doritos exist. In fact, they're one of the only 3 flavors available to me where I live. I just didn't think I had to qualify "Doritos" by saying "with the exception of plain Doritos." I assumed it to be understood that when one says "Doritos" they're usually referring to the flavored varieties that are the most popular and the only kind Frito Lay ever advertises.

Also, despite being the original flavor the plain variety was discontinued for a while so as not to compete with Tostitos, another Frito Lay brand. I don't even think plain Doritos are distributed everywhere.

I guess I should have qualified my statement, but I didn't think someone would think I was referring to "plain Doritos" when I said "Doritos." To argue that "Doritos" doesn't mean "flavored corn chip" I think borders on :spergin:. It's technically correct, but people generally don't talk that way.

The fact that you thought someone could be unaware that plain Doritos exist backs up my point that when saying, "Doritos," the image that leaps to mind is the flavored kind rather than the plain kind.

Tiggum posted:

I implore you to try the terrible nachos I had at a club in Sapporo that managed to have pretty much all the right ingredients with the exception of using Nacho Cheesier Doritos. I'm usually fine with salt, but that poo poo was gross.

I think I have deciphered this picture. They probably called it 'Chicken Cordon Blue'.

It's not actually raw chicken, it's cooked chicken covered by cheap pressed ham and cheese. The kind of ham that's made from scraps pressed together to a log in a giant tin. Restaurants use it for salads, sandwiches and pizza.

It's cooked in a steam tray, because that way canteens and cafeterias can cook lots of food fast and with little effort. Layer raw chicken, sliced 'ham' and shredded cheese. Steam until chicken is cooked through. That also explains why the cheese is melted, but nothing is browned.

It's supposed to be lentil soup. Sometimes it's served with ham or some kind of smoked meat in it. I've never seen such a lazy execution of that concept before.

Jesus. I come from Czech stock and my mom made lentil soup every New Year's Day because it's a family tradition (I'm now the last person in the family to keep it going :( ). Somehow mom's inclusion of hotdogs for the meat seems better than that atrocity.

Edit: This cracked me up, thank you:

If you say in the first chapter that there is a sweaty leaf of presliced ham lying on a warm counter, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must be listlessly yet resentfully slapped into some tepid glop. It's wrong to make promises you don't intend to keep.

This is what gets me about most of these pictures. The pool of fatwater "sauce." I just can't imagine it adds anything to the dish other than hydration.

Actually I can imagine pretty good what that entire dish tastes like. Wet chicken and freezerburn.



This, by contrast, looks alright. Okay, it's just toast with something like garlic butter and fishfingers, but that's got to be hard to gently caress up.

Steam tray cooking :geno:



Dump chicken legs in trays, put in cabinet. The liquid that collects in the bottom of the tray is the sauce. For effort, brown the chicken in an oven for a few minutes before steaming.

If I'm making nachos I just make my own chips on the spot. Fry up some tortilla triangles in a sauce pan and then squeeze lime juice on them while they're still scalding hot, and add only a little bit of salt. They tend to hold up better than just buying a bag of chips from the store.
