Well food fans...this is something new and exciting. Hunk of Spunk (HOS) has asked to blog! So, ladies and gents...here is my man, in all his food glory...enjoy...
Hi team, it's HOS here... I'm a bit nervous... her graciousness, Miss Supergal, has given me this opportunity to update you all on my personal food quest - Chili, no, not the country that was recently explored by Supergal herself, Chili con carne... the food of the gods!
As any who know me would know, Chili is one of my 3 favourite foods... (and, in case curiosity is your vice, Beef Rendang, and Hungarian Goulash are the other 2) - (also, it's possible that I just decided these are my 3... so...maybe you didn't know! )
Yesterday we were in 4 states, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and Colorado... now if you're ever going to have a shot at a good chili, that has to be as good a place as any on the planet to have a go !
Chili 1 (Top Pic) - Lunch at the Trading Post in Cameron Arizona. I ordered the "bowl of chili" which came with Fry Bread (and I am not to mention the FB again, as supergal has banned any further discussion). The chili looked good, but after adding salt and both the mild and hot Tabascos I was only getting a little flavour. Disappointing !!
Chili 2 (Middle Pic) - Dinner (same day !) at Tequila's in Cordez, Colorado. I ordered "Chili Colorado". This had a nice dark colour, and chunks of meat, always an interesting option. But.... again, it lacked in flavour and heat, again I left disappointed, wondering if this was as good as it gets?!!
Chili 3 (Bottom Pic) - Brunch (next day !) at the restaurant in Mesa Verde National Park. On our way to see the ancient cave dwellings, we spied some tourists eating chili in a cup...following discussion, we headed for the park restaurant, and ordered "Bowl of Chili" and FB. Wow!!... just when I thought all hope was lost, it had a nice dark colour, deep flavour, hint of heat... perfection... in a disposable bowl !!
Now that my faith is restored, I'll be keeping an eye out for more chili along the way... and cooking up a storm when I get back !!
