    I frustrate my wife with this logic all the time.

    I’m make a plate of nachos (I’m a pro at this point and plate it all with a bit of onion, three types of peppers, a bit of thick chili, jalapeno peppers and cheese … then layer it all … make a small layer, bake it, then make a second and sometimes third layer!) and serve it all with sour cream, salsa and guacamole.

    She’ll eat hers like a rabid animal and by the end of it will be frustrated because she either has left over nachos with no dips or way too much dips left and no nachos. She gets frustrated and either wants to ask me for a nacho or two to finish her dips or just gives up and tells me to throw the rest away.

    Meanwhile, I’ve perfectly portioned all my food so that my last bite is a single nacho loaded with the last bit of chili, salsa, sour cream and guacamole … sometimes I even factor in that she will have extra dips at the end and I’ll finish hers too.

    No better feeling than that last nacho chip with everything on it and knowing you have a clean plate with nothing on it.

        I thought I had some photos of my nacho plates but couldn’t find any … the largest one I made recently was for my nephew who is currently into body building and ‘bulking’ … I found the largest plate I could find and layered the nachos and cheese four times! and made a small mountain of nachos for him. I think I used an entire large bag of nachos just for him.

        The plates for me and my wife are usually not that big, even after I layer them twice … I just like have all my cheese melted inside every chip and everywhere. And no I don’t eat like this on a regular basis … if I did, I’d be dead by now or dying from diabetes. I think we cut it down to maybe having a plate like this once a month or once very two months, usually on a movie night.

        I used to work in a small fast food joint my family ran and this where I learned to make my layered nachos.

        This one is a smaller plate, made with sausage pieces and chili

            Hot dogs? … those are left over barbecued beef sausages from our local farmer. Good ones too, you should have seen the all dressed sausage on a bun with sauerkraut, pickles, sauce, onions and cheese.

            I’m poor, gross and rough around the edges but not that poor, gross or rough around the edges.

      It’s a lot of work, but I find making a dozen or so bite-sized sandwiches worthwhile for this kind of thing.

    physics dictates that the first 4 bites of a sandwich will push all the toppings at least 1 inch out the front. The temptation to then turn the sandwich around and bite that bit that is sticking out and work from that end will be irresistable. Therefore the last bite will only have mayonaise, mustard and vinegar.
