    If chicken tikka masala has the UK flag and not the Indian one, then nachos should have the US flag, as it was invented in the US (by a Mexican cook named Ignazio, or “Nacho”)

      Wikipedia says you are incorrect:

      The dish was created by, and named after, Mexican restaurateur Ignacio Anaya, who created it in 1943 for American customers at the Victory Club restaurant in Piedras Negras, Coahuila.

      That’s just south of the border in Mexico.

      Ignacio varga?! Kidding. But that explains the nickname. Or is it like dick and richard ? Altho…now that I think about it, nacio and nacho aren’t that far away, so it probably precedes the whole thing. Either way, Cool.

        Without looking it up, I believe it was because they were producing so much salmon and looking for ways to make it more popular.

          I recall watching a YouTube deep dive on it and basically it was debunked. It’s raw fish, people have been eating it on sushi rice since fish and rice existed. But Norway did push it heavily in the 80’s.

          It might have been that Andong guy…

                People in Japan did not eat salmon sushi because it was considered unsafe. The type of salmon caught by Japanese fishermen is not fit for raw consumption. That’s why salmon sushi only got popular when Norwegian companies exported the fish.

      This is a fondant au chocolat, which roughly means melting chocolate cake, it’s a small cake with a liquid chocolate core.
      It’s not fondant as in cake fondant, which is an abomination.

          It’s a literal chocolate cake (usually cupcake/muffin sized) with an added chocolate chunk right before (or after) baking. No sugar paste fondant garbage in that.

            You misunderstand, I think the chocolate cake with gooey chocolate in the middle looks awesome.

            I’m implying fondant is comparable to playdough.
