- Cindy Heisler 2s · 2023-02-12T14:03:08.367ZFun one! Thanks, Will.
- boharr 3s · 2023-02-12T14:35:59.279ZGame time! Yum. Thanks, Will.
- Crosshare shows no one else on the leaderboard but that seems impossible given that the email went out 22 minutes ago. If I am somehow the first to answer correctly, I will be psyched
- Crosshare updates stats and leaderboards once per hour - so that might help to explain the lag!
- kymike 2s · 2023-02-12T14:39:08.352ZGo Chiefs!
- Confession: Pre-coffee solve I could only think of two 7-letter words. Had to Google
- whimsy 🤓11:32 · 2023-02-12T20:52:16.327ZI was about to look at the online menu for the local Mexican restaurant, but then it came to me! :)
- Nice ‘n easy! Thanks Will ‘n Emma! Great start to a sunny Sunday in Mexico on the beach! (90° high today!) Onto the podcast!
- Wow, that sounds lovely! Have a mai tai or something tropical for me!
- ChrisCross 🤓6:34 · 2023-02-12T15:17:47.765ZPutting together those ingredients was a drain, I’m not cooking for the rest of the day :P
- MatthewL 🤓10:11 · 2023-02-12T15:33:02.704ZFun, but now I'm hungry.
- Bbaack 🤓14:44 · 2023-02-12T15:46:10.076ZSounds yummy; thanks for the fun!
- Last week's was my first try at a real meta and due to time I gave up (on the meat answer, I was almost aaaalmost there). But thanks for being kind to my noob brain this weekend, hah! Thank you, it was fun!
- Welcome and thanks for solving! Here's to many more correct answers in the coming weeks!
- Bird Lives 6s · 2023-02-12T16:18:30.936ZIt's this puzzle, not the WSJ, where solvers should be calling for IPA, etc. (FWIW, I did a MMM recipe meta back in July 2021.)
- lhj 6s · 2023-02-12T16:41:42.726ZI solve your puzzle in puzzazz and then I have to “reveal” it here to submit it. Feels like I’m cheating even though I’m not. Is there another way to submit the answer? Thanks!
- Nope, that's the best way to do it for now. We've talked through alternative ways of doing this with Mike (developer of Crosshare) but haven't found any other solutions that seem significantly better. I have faith that all the 6 second solvers are actually solving elsewhere!
- Bob Hetrick 21:19 · 2023-02-12T16:49:20.121ZGo Eagles
- Jimbo 4s · 2023-02-12T18:39:15.179ZYou put corn in your nachos? I may have to reconsider all the nice things I said about you.... ;-)
- From my email to Will when we were going back and forth editing this puzzle: "I think you may get some solvers saying things like 'why no salsa or sour cream??' or 'who puts corn and chicken on nachos??'"
- I put chicken on my nachos (usually shredded) and I'm not ashamed of it! As for corn... well... I've had corn on nachos but it's nothing to write home about. I was really just looking for another ingredient to balance out SAY CHEESE.
- Yeah, that's what threw me off this morning. I kept seeing a 7-layer dip.
- bodhipepper 3s · 2023-02-13T08:26:12.562ZI searched "does corn go on nachos?" before submitting and was reminded of elote, so you're in the clear
- whimsy 🤓11:32 · 2023-02-12T20:50:22.821ZWhat a lineup! Nice going, Will!
- Now THIS kind of sportsing meta is right in my wheelhouse. Thanks Will!
- Thanks for solving Kay! Glad this one was up your alley!
- Darth 🤓8:36 · 2023-02-12T22:44:39.873ZGo Eagles! :D
- ReB 4s · 2023-02-12T23:00:03.661ZNow I've got the munchies...
- Well if they aren't yours then they must be mine! Tasty puzzle Will, might just inform the dinner menu this evening!
- Thanks Dr. Tom! Hope you made some tasty nachos!
- The first meta I have ever confidently known the answer to
- Burakodrama 2s · 2023-02-14T04:41:15.535ZThis puzzle should've come with a "don't solve at midnight" warning...
- You're so right! Sorry to have induced ill-timed cravings!
- William D 🤓12:31 · 2023-02-15T05:45:21.332ZChicken and corn? No salsa in sight? Great puzzle, but I don't approve of your nachos game! ;)
- Martina 🤓4:34 · 2023-02-15T09:33:02.240ZJust saying the word makes me want to make some right now....
- Now that was a clean fill with a fun and easy theme! Wish I had solved it before the Super Bowl though lol
- Meta World Peace 3s · 2023-02-18T22:50:02.052ZThanks for reminding me of a joke from the kids' menu (many years ago): What do you call cheese that isn't yours? Nacho cheese!
