4th January, 2011

Our first cheese outing for 2011 was marked by a new milestone in our cheese eating journey.

For the first time, we ordered not one, not two, but three chili con quesos.

One

Two

Three!

As you can see, there was a disappointing return to bowl type number two (the smallest and most cry-worthy one). Furthermore, note that this week we had chips that weren't in the process of being suffocated by salt, which was pleasing as it meant we could actually taste the cheese dip.

So how did the cheese dip fare? The breakdown:

Consistency: Very thin. The cheese dip was practically fleeing the chips, that's how thin it was.
Spiciness: Low amount of spice.
Appearance: Cheese dip x 3 = happiness.
Temperature: Orgasmically hot.
Flavour: Became a little cream-cheesey towards the end, but was on the whole quite satisfying.
Chips: The table agreed that the chips this week had a distinct cornflakes taste. One of our cheese colleagues who had a chili con queso to herself also had the displeasure of a high ratio of stale chips. The stale chips were particularly bad this week, mouths were nearly glued shut from how soft they were.
Chip-to-dip-balance: Was pretty damn good. Though there was a return to the smaller dish, the thinner consistency meant that the dip went further.



It is worth noting that the service this week was actually really good. Our order was taken promptly, the food arrived quickly and there were no fuck-ups, unreasonable delays or spaced-out waitstaff. Fingers crossed this trend continues for the year.

This week we also splashed out on churros. I'll let the pictures speak of their deliciousness.
