i really wish i had some sort of statistics on the demographic overlap of “people who are actually picky about homemade nachos” and “mythical kitchen viewers watching this video right now” because i cant remember the last time i made nachos at home, but i know the last time i did, it was definitely just tortilla chips from a bag with pre-shredded cheese on it that i shoved in a microwave for 30 seconds and then put salsa and sour cream on. if you’re making nachos at home and doing it as more than anything other than a really quick and easy snack, i wanna know!!

[@GalacticGoddess46]

We make it a meal, but different.... chips, cooked seasoned ground beef, then cheese... put in oven to melt cheese. Serve. Add sour cream and/or guacamole if you prefer.

[@Taurusus]

Can of Stagg chilli (or your local canned chili equivalent) over doritos on a pizza tray with cheese and salsa, blast it until it's the right colour and consume _quick_ cuz it's not "good" per se but you need sustenance. I'd put it firmly in the meal category rather than snack, but for me a snack is a single chicken wing from the servo or a bag of Maltesers. I'm just now realising I may have some real thinking to do about my relationship with food.

[@bcaye]

I need real food. Bechamel cheddar sauce with red peppers and roasted green chilies in, diced red onion, fresh jalapenos and tomatoes with cilantro (pico de Gallo), some crumbled cotija, avocado and sour cream. Protein of choice ad lib, I usually just stick with cheese.

[@Emperorhirohito19272]

It takes a nanosecond to grate a block of cheese if honestly baffles me that enough of humanity is lazy enough to make pre-shredded cheese a product that actually gets produced and sold

This is Tillamook erasure

[@DawnShipley1977]

@@mattmarkham9117 I live in Oregon but have not lived here my whole life. I was just recently made aware of a practice of Tillamook's that native Oregonians knew but is not clear to those that move here. Tillamook claims to get all their milk from local farmers in and around Tillamook and that is why the justify their really high prices. The milk is still from Oregon but 2/3rds of the milk comes from one of the largest enclosed dairies in the country and not from locat cows that are free to roam in the lush pastures of Tillamook. Tillamook as a company is currently being sued over this. Also, in my experience, pre-shredded Tillamook cheese spoils very fast. I refuse to buy from them any longer, but the last bag I got spoiled in less then a week. I stopped buying there ice cream several years ago because I disliked the aftertaste of it, but now I absolutely refuse to buy any of their products. There are other Oregon products that don't run their business this way and can use the support of their business in the face of the Tillamook giant.

[@bitterbatterdog]

Still gonna go with layered. Adding American cheese between layers to get extra texture still feels like an optimal combination of utilizing a second cheese and getting that important texture difference

[@Heyitsfab]

It makes it soggy though that's the only issue. I used to layer too because I literally hate a naked chip. But what I did instead was buy the largest pans possible to fit in my oven and lay as many flat as I can on both trays lol so instead of stacking I have two pans with one layer of chips so every chip has stuff on it.

Josh, you make the point that in the time you took to shred the cheese, you could have started learning a foreign language, but you made the point for the wrong side. In the time you saved by using preshredded cheese, you could have learned a foreign language. Not vice-versa

[@nyanuwu4209]

...Do you actually not realize that what you said is the same point just stated differently? 'Grating takes up time.' is an argument in favor of pre-shredded. 'Using pre-shredded saves time.' is the exact same argument.

[@spercwolf2985]

@nyanuwu4209 correct, but Josh was taking the side that freshly grated cheese is better but argued you could do something else more worthwhile with your time like learning a language and use pregrated. That's like saying it is more time efficient to drive around, so instead of driving, I'll walk.
