Goats Legs & Irish Nachos

[Erin McKean]

Barry reported on these exotic foodstuffs from New Zealand:

>IRISH NACHOS--"wedges & beans," according to one menu.


These were a regular feature at the Scott, Foresman corporate
cafeteria iN Glenview, Illinois for at least the years 1995-2000.
They were wedge fries covered with refried beans, cheese, and salsa.
I was always too frightened of the way they looked under the
presentation glass dome to try them, and besides, I thought I should
fight against the stereotype of the Irish as inveterate potato-eaters.

I believe the cafeteria was run by either ARA or Marriot, so for all
I know it's a national cafeteria dish.
