I've been thinking about using that tag for a little while myself. It's on my "to do" list.

Edit: I didn't mean to imply that you're like what I was describing. I agree that appreciating food includes appreciating food for what it is, not for the cachet of luxury ingredients. In my mind, a "real" foodie can understand and enjoy nacho cheez with the same facility they can understand and enjoy Serrano ham, without any apologies.

Also, I think #recipes with an S is the tag I would use. Forgot about that

100% agreement. In fact, nacho cheese versus just about anything and there isn't a contest. I grew up skiing on an old trash heap converted into a hill called Mount Brighton. They had the best nacho cheese ever. So much of food is nostalgia for me.
