    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.

        Nacho is the short form of Ignacio. Just like Dolores -> Lola. Makes sense right?
