A study in nachos vs. haystacks

So recently Bob and I have had a friendly debate about the difference between a haystack and a nacho. We're curious what the rest of you think about it. Is it the salad, the chips, the beans? Maybe there's several differences, or you think they're the same thing. Please let us know! I have a poll to the right and down if you want to cast your vote! Or leave a note. :)

Thanks!

    Our haystacks usually have more on them than nachos do. Beans, cheese, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, pickle, olives, salsa, avocado, sour cream, etc. Definitely better in my opinion. :)

    I definitely agree with Laura. Nachos are mainly chips with nacho cheese on it with a few added things if desired, while haystacks have chips, beans and salad toppings. When I was in Spain during July 4 they made us an American meal. You guessed it: haystacks :D

    Nachos to us is chips, melted cheese/cheese sauce, chili or refried beans, maybe salsa, sour cream, olives, guacamole and onions. Then sprinkled with cayenne chili powder. (I find nachos better with tortilla chips)

    Haystacks are chili beans, cheese, salad mix, salsa, ketchup, onions, sour cream, olives, onions, guac, whatever else yummy stuff you can find. (I find haystacks better with Fritos, but more often than not we just have corn chips)

    Unless you´re Kevin, then they´re both about the same, because he´s not too much into the green stuff on top. Just the chips, cheese, beans, sour cream, guac, sometimes onions.

    Thanks, Alodia. I believe you just supported both of our "arguments". We may be ready to call a truce. :)

    My nachos don't have lettuce on them. So my vote is for the salad on top!

    But it could also be the chips. I use Fritos for haystacks and flatter, broader corn/tortilla chips for nachos.

    This was a fun poll.

    I think that nachos can have lots of stuff on them but typically not lettuce or many veggies. Whereas haystacks have EVERYTHING and are stacked very high. One's fingerfood, one's not. The real question is what's the difference between haystacks and taco salad?
