I spent most of the weekend in a small town called Sartell, MN, which has some decent restaurants. One is a Mexican place called A\u00f1ejos Restaurant where I had dinner with a couple other people. Tasty food and it has a big wide-screen TV by the front window that plays a slideshow with factoids about Mexico and tequila, pictures and descriptions of some menu options, etc. I could see the TV from where I was sitting and one of those slides caught my eye, mostly because of the final ingredient listed: Chihuahua cheese.<\/p>\n
First thought: “Do they smoosh a tiny dog to make the cheese?”
\nSecond thought: “Who milks the dog?”<\/p>\n
I was too curious to wait for the server to tell me, so I did a search for “Chihuahua cheese” on Google and found a website<\/a> that explains it got its name because the cheese (made from cow’s milk) originated in the Chihuahua region of northern Mexico. The description also included a sentence that didn’t use the word “cheese” and is awesome when taken out of context.<\/p>\n “Chihuahua can be used for fondues, breaded fried cheese dishes (queso frito), egg dishes, enchiladas, or simply for snacking.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I spent most of the weekend in a small town called Sartell, MN, which has some decent restaurants.
