Heh...there is a variant of same here in Cincinnati. Ground pork, beef, boiled and drained. Then mixed with cubed Velveeta, milk, a bit of dried mustard and dry parsley flakes, a shot of pepper, a couple of generous shakes of paprika and when its' all melted and heated, just a bit of flour to thicken along with a small shot of milk
That's a dip that gets attacked with U-Name-It chips, doritos, etc.
People scoop it up. Sometimes with spoon or knife to spread on something else..
We can talk about this or that....fact is...cheese, and greasy meat pleases anybody - rich, poor, lousy weather, lousy land, lousy continent - no matter.
Everybody likes it!
But right as you say...not for me or you anymore. Rats...
