Not fucking nachos!!!!

[PeapodBurgundy]

In brief, I ordered a side of nachos to go with my dinner. I'm bitterly disappointed. Before I share what arrived, what would the world of Mumsnet expect to receive? (Pretty sure IANBU to say that these are NOT nachos!!!!)

Pringles??? Far preferable to nachos, those smelly things that ruin any cinema visit, along with popcorn! I'll get m'coat now.

It was rather dismal I have to admit. Son ordered a ‘loaded hotdog’ and it was literally a normal tinned hotdog, in a bun, ‘loaded’ with ketchup and mustard.

But take the point might be mistake
my first job was a petrol pump attendant, in the days when it was mechanical.

think i earned one pound fifty an hour or something...still it was work.

Pringles taste weird these days. The recipe has declined steeply from their glory days.

🤣

Oh god, I LOVE nachos, but am regularly disappointed at the lacking in effort platefuls I get. Worst was in a high end steakhouse where the nachos starter arrived with a teeny amount of squeezy cheese and fuck all else. Seriously shite.

@beigebrownblue It's a fairly new business, and it's likely their busiest night of the week, so it's very possible, however when I went right back through the reviews to a week or so after they opened, somebody has commented that the 'nachos' were actually only tortilla chips, so slightly less likely.

I did mention in the review that the 'nachos' were just tortilla chips, but I did complement several other aspects of the service which were good. The review system gives the venue a place to respond, so if it was a mistake, they can publicly say so, so that future customers know. If it wasn't, perhaps another customer flagging it will make them change the description.

I'm a very disappointed fat knacker this evening, but I certainly haven't slated their business or anything of the like

A huge plate of triangle corn "crisps" covered in cheese, tomato, chilli, sour cream, avocado and spring onions.

This.

I bet you hit a handful of Doritos with a Kraft cheese slice melted on top.

What does cheese say when it looks in the mirror?
Halloumi.
That made my night! Thanks Hollysbush

What the actual fuck? I’m calling the police.

I’d personally refuse to pay for the entire meal on that alone, but I’m petty

@PeapodBurgundy

Tortilla chips. Not a fecking thing else!

Well that's dead easy then FULL REFUND NOW AND COMPENSATION. Wtf were the cafe/pub/restaurant thinking.

I had “Irish nachos” last night at my local faux Irish bar. House made crisps with meat and gravy from their version of shepherds pie on top. It really hit the spot after a few drinks

I’ve never had nachos, it seems I’m missing something

This the last time I had Nachos, mind you it was at Smith and Western so probably cost a bit more, I shared with my son who is about to tuck in in this photo

Trades Description.

However if they were made by Willy Wonka and tasted of nacho fixings with each bite then they were a bargain.

Nachos me arse 🤬

I going against the grain to say I would have been perfectly happy with plain Doritos on a plate! I like guacamole, salsa, cheese, beans and all the rest, but not on my nachos please. Leave them naked and proud like Jesus’ mama made them.I’ll eat the other stuff another time.

What a disappointment, op!

It reminds me of when I went to an awful vaguely upmarket (and weirdly expensive) chain restaurant in the US, the kind of place that offers fish and chips and curry and Thai—sells everything, does nothing well. It was near an airport so the pickings were slim.

I wasn’t eating meat at the time so ordered veggie fajitas, expecting a normal sort of meal minus the meat, peppers and onions kind of thing. For the main part they brought part-boiled, part-fried and still very hard broccoli and cauliflower. You could choose two sides like salsa, guacamole etc. I chose refried beans for one. They served baked beans. It was dire. Second worst restaurant meal ever.

It's like a beautiful 17th century Dutch still life painting!

Love the hand poised and about to get stuck in

Classica beleive me it was amazing, probably the nicest nachos I have had. I was going to post a photo of the dessert but it had my sons face in it so he probably wouldnt be happy with me posting it.

@Jenasaurus

The nachos look amazing but your dinner date ordered a COFFEE with them?!

I swiftly retreated to a civilised little tearoom where the elderly community of Redcar could pay five times the going rate for a scone and a pot of tea.

@PeapodBurgundy, sounds like Cafe BonBon 😀. Probably only those of a certain age will remember that 😆

Yes, thats my son, I think it was a tea, and a water, he is on a health kick (but that didnt stop him tucking into the nachos lol). This was 2019 pre lockdown, I think it was mothersday :)

Local pub does nachos… but with hash browns envy (not envy!)

They do WHAT?!!

Let's not be too hasty here......it might just work......may do some home research...........
