Breaking News from Europe: Could Einstein be the inventor of Nachos?

The True Einstein Quotes Revealed

After much study, students at the University of Cambridge have revealed that few to many of Einstein's famous quotes had been tampered with before publishing. Studies show that the German Government had 'altered' the quotes to protect Einstein from public outrage over his meal of choice. One insider said, "At the time, Nachos were not popular in Europe. If you weren't eating a Bratwurst, you weren't normal. And Al wasn't eating Bratwurst's." 

It is revealed that the German's got word that Einstein was favourite to take out the 1921 Nobel Prize, something that would be great for their countries reputation, so they didn't want that opportunity to escape them, hence the alterations.

Quotes revealed to have been changed include:

Altered Quote: "Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler".

Original Quote: "Nachos should be as simple as it is, but not simpler".

Altered Quote: "Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone"

Original Quote: "Most of the fundamental ideas of Nachos are essentially simple - chips, guacamole, salsa etc etc, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone"

Altered Quote: "You ask me if I keep a notebook to record my great ideas. I've only ever had one."

Original Quote: "You ask me if I keep a notebook to record my great ideas. I've only ever had one. Nachos."

Altered Quote: "A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit, a violin; what else does a man need to be happy."

Original Quote: "A table, a chair, a bowl of Nachos, a violin; what else does a man need to be happy."

Altered Quote: "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science."

Original Quote: "The most beautiful thing we can experience is Nachos. It is the source of all true art and science."

August 2013

I had high expectations for Mexicali Cantina, Essendon. I remember hitting this joint up about 5 years ago and what sat before me was a giant delicious plate of nachos that slipped me into a food coma. But this time around, no food coma. Just a stomach full of disappointment.

The first thing that stunned me was the price! For a basic nacho no meat the price was quite extravagant, and the extra dollars for meat or frijoles was $4-$5! The size, whilst blocking out the ridiculous price, was pretty good. Oh yeah, but then you remember the price they’re charging and look at it and think, is that it?

It was to be fair, quite a mountain. The mountain had all the basics, trees, grass, a few rocks... But this was no Machu Picchu. The sauce looked and tasted like it was poured straight out of a supermarket bottle, and to go with that was a dollop of sour cream and guacamole. The only slight delight from these nachos was the size and cheese coverage. And even that was mediocre as the plate wasn’t put into the oven long enough, so some of the cheese and corn chips were still cold.

The nachos were ok. Ok if you were starving and rich. $17.95 for a plate of corn chips with average condiments slapped ontop of them is not my idea of a good nacho. Sorry Mexicali Cantina, but it’s 2.5 corn chips out of 5.

Score: 2.5 / 5
