A-Z Munchin' Monday: A Challenging letter

This week we come to the letter Q, which always puts us in a quandary until we either quit or quote some quack.

Here is the run-down:
Q stands for Quiche, which is some sort of upscale omelet, and which was dissed in the past as way too effete for any manly man to claim as real food. I would not know. I really have not eaten much quiche in my time. I have had more omelets, and way more eggs in things like huevos rancheros, which do not come near beginning with a Q, and thus which are irrelevant to this discussion.


Whilst reviewing things latino, however, there is the matter of the Quesadilla. I am a reasonably supportive fan of this dish, which is you basic tortilla with cheese, and then with any combo of other items added. My son was in a band for three or so years of high school, and the first song he ever wrote (that I am pretty sure the band refused, for the most part, to play along with him) was entitled "Quesadilla". It was a cute, light, humorous little ditty, and really, the only original song I recall him ever performing where a large portion of the audience was singing along.

Here are the words from the chorus of this wonderful song:

"Cheese, cheese, cheese ... on a tortilla
Ques, Ques, Ques, Quesdadilla!"

We are so proud.
Moving along, we can skip "Quahog" because I had no clue what it was. It came up during my research. A clam, they tell me. Sorry, teeming millions of quahog aficionados.

As far as I am concerned, we are left with two great American institutions that, truth be told, I do not ingest all that often. The first is Quaker Oats oatmeal. Sometimes, especially in winter, the time is just right for the stuff. As covered previously. Under O.
The second is the venerable McDonalds Quarter Pounder. It is, really, a pretty good hamburger, as these fast food things go, and the product has been around for decades. It seems to run second to the Big Mac, which appears to get more attention, and has had more advertising jingles, but it is a pretty good burger, all told, almost on par with, say, a Whopper.
So that's all I've got for Q Week. Perhaps not so big on Quality, but no too shabby on Quantity.
