I will never forget the first time we were served individual nachos. DD was still a teen, she's 40+ now. We all looked at each other with WTH looks on our faces. Have to admit though that I liked the individual ones much better than the all mixed together gloppy ones, but those are the ones Craig likes best. It's my long subconscious (until somebody pointed it out to me) aversion to different foods touching each other kicking in I think.
They are definitely easier to eat separately. Plus, you don't end up with a buch of chips with too much stuff, and a lot with almost nothing.
I laughed because my mom likes her food items not touching. She also goes in a circle with bites of each item, and likes to finish all the items at the same time.
