And today, it explained the sudden plethora of chiplets.
First things first: After the last visit we dropped our order to just two serves of cheesedip, which arrived in a type-three bowl in the usual configuration.
All seemed quite normal until we actually tried to eat the chips, and found that somebody in the kitchen had inadvertently left a layer of cheese-coloured plastic over the bowl. Thankfully, we broke through after repeatedly hammering it with some of the hardier chips.
Notice that the dip has some consistency there - it was a bit thin at the top, but still managed to work up a good drip factor.
The cheese this week was the best I've had for quite a while. It was moderately thick, quite warm, and quite spicy. But most important was the flavour. You could actually taste something other than cheese this time, and what you could taste was vegemite.
Sure, it sounds weird, but it was genuinely tasty. I have no idea how they accomplished it - whether they've got an experimental new chef in or whether a drunk cleaner just dropped his breakfast into the cheesevat - but it made a positive difference.
This was slightly balanced out by the chip to dip ratio.
Look at that. so much wasted cheese, and half a plate full of chiplets. Who came up with that theory? However, the dip was worth fighting for. We grabbed the chiplets and went to work, one tiny scoop of cheese at a time. In the end, we managed to get the bowl into a more reasonable state.
In summary:
Consistency: Thinnish at the top, adequate most of the way through.
Spiciness: Nicely Spicy.
Appearance: It looked pretty good, but that might have been the plastic coating.
Temperature: The upper end of warm, trending towards the lower end of hot.
Flavour: Vegemite. Delicious vegemite. I wish all vegemite tasted like that.
Chips: Chiplets. The whole chips were fine, with a few stale ones mixed in.
Chip-to-dip-balance: Abysmal. Thankfully our resourcefulness shone through and we forced a balance that didn't initially exist.
