The Nachosaurus Will Turn Your Chips and Salsa Extinct

When is a dinosaur not yours? When it’s Nachosaurus. Kidding, of course, this prehistoric chip-holder can totally be yours.

The Nachosaurus comes complete with a bowl to hold your favorite dips. What this set doesn’t come with, is the brontosaurus’s back scales, which you’ll have to supply with nacho chips. That is to say, chips that are totally yours.

Taco Bell Releases Its Version of Chicken Nuggets In Chip Form

For every fast food restaurant, there’s a version of the chicken nugget. So, when Taco Bell gets involved, those ‘nuggets’ will obviously be in some sort of nacho-form.

Taco Bell Naked Chicken Chips is the latest member of the nugget gang. Inspired by the discontinued Naked Chicken Chalupa, the chicken chips are presented in triangle form.

Why does such a thing exist? Besides the easy ingestion of a ‘chicken’ product, the nacho-like form allows for convenient dipping.

The Naked Chicken Chips will be available starting May 11th in a six or twelve-piece.

Chimichachos Are Nachos Made With Mini Chimichangas

chimichachos

Sorry, tortilla chips… you’ve been replaced. But hang your head high, you crispy triangles, as you’ve served our nachos well to this point.

Thanks to our friends over at Thrillist, there are now Chimichachos… which are nachos made with mini-chimichangas instead of our outdated chips.

Not only could this new concoction be your new favorite appetizer and/or drunk-food, but the name chimichachos is extremely fun to say. It sounds like the name of a cool luchador, or the Mexican version of The Fonz’s nephew.

chimichachos.

GIVEAWAY: Ultimate Nachos Cookbook by Nachos NY

Ultimate_Nachos_cvrFINAL_12.3.2012_1024x1024

Nachos… The ultimate bar snack, hangover stopper, and a great excuse to melt some cheese. Our friends Lee Frank and Rachel Anderson over at Nachos NY have dedicated quite a bit of their lives to the gooey snack, and have recently converted their passion into book form.

Ultimate Nachos is chock-full of over 80 recipes for nachos, guacamoles, salsas, quesos, drinks and more — while filling the void on bookshelves that sorely lack some nacho porn.

The best news… Nachos NY and Foodiggity have teamed up to give away two copies of Ultimate Nachos. The rules are simple… Head over to our post on Foodiggity’s Facebook page and let us know how you like your nachos and what guacamole means to you. Bonus points if you’re actually eating nachos and post a pic. Two winners will be chosen by an esteemed panel of judges that specialize in scrutinizing internet comments.*

So, head over to Facebook and tell us how you do nachos… There are no wrong answers. Unless you tell us that you don’t like nachos — in which case you’re dead wrong and we feel sorry for you.
