TLDR highlight for the 99% of Redditors who have no idea what this is:
“Made up of fried tortilla chips, a fatty layer of bean and chorizo mix, and an artful arrangement of onions, sliced avocado, green peppers, tomatoes, and jalapenos, all held together with a mountain of melted Muenster cheese, to Detroiters, it’s just about as ubiquitous to local cuisine as the Coney or square pizza. The creator of the Detroit botana, a Mexican-American from Texas, Armando Galan, dreamed up the iconic dish in the kitchen of his restaurant, Armando’s 45 years ago, setting off a food trend that’s endured for generations.”
It’s nachos with weird cheese.

Reply to comment by Kevin_Wolf in TIL that in ancient times, the carob seed was used to measure the worth of gems and gold since the seeds have a general uniform weight. This is where the word "karat" comes from. by kkoolook
One of the many things that sucked about being a kid in the 70s—my parents weren’t hippies but I think my mom got the carob at Diet Center or health food stores. Thank goodness grandmas house and her cookie tins were right around the corner.
