the queso debate
chowhound lists some superbowl snack ideas, including one for texas queso dip that doesn't include velveeta. the comments explode in debate on whether it's authentic texas queso if it's not velveeta (which is why i'm posting this).
i realize it's traditional perfection for folks to have velveeta and rotel, but for the life of me, i can't see how people love it. the processed cheese fails me on both taste and texture counts.

and i quote:
from the comments: "Whatever Velveeta brings to the imagination of a serious eater, it's used not only in Texas, but in New Mexico as well. One of the most popular recipes for queso, even among those who are normally NM food aficionados is simply mixing Velveeta with Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup, along with, of course, diced green chile..."

two evils of the processed world unite: cream of mushroom and velvetta - there is no stopping them.

i am going to say that there are parties guilty in new mexico of using velveeta in queso. there are also parties in new mexico who put cream of mushroom soup in chicken enchiladas. however, neither party should be consulted or trusted in manners of cuisine or deliciousness.
