But for those of us who have neither the time nor want to take the trouble (to say nothing of the equipment) for deep frying, here are a couple of suggestions for suitable substitutes (in order of my preference): 1- Some Mexican restaurants will sell fresh fried tortilla chips by bagful. These restaurants are the ones that tend to have the best food, and the worst decor. I used to pay $1.00 for two grocery bags full when I was in college (about 1980-1). They were the best since they were fresh, and available without too much (or no salt). Look for the funky places, out-of-the-way, and you'll probably find a gold mine for chips. Of course, it doesn't hurt to ask to buy the chips as you're on your way out after buying other food... 2- Most coop and natural style neighborhood markets have good tortilla chips available in bulk. These are pretty good, not too much salt, none of the stuff that makes Dorito's gross, and make almost as good nachos as 1- above. Scott Herzinger ...!tektronix!teklds!scotth (ignore return address)
