Qwezo in Australia

August, 2007 -Brisbane, Australia - Last week after a long day on Stradbroke Island, Bobbi, Amy and I were starving for dinner. We were missing home right about that time and came upon this restaurant on our way home called 'Taste of Texas', kid you not. We dreamed about the queso you get at places like Taco Cabana and practically raced each other to the front door. We were greeted by waitresses in cowboy hats, boots, jean skirts and all. We immediately ordered queso, and what was brought out was the aussie version of queso - which was NOT what we were expecting. The waitress referred to it as "qwezo" and we about died. We proceeded to ask the waitress what was in the suspicious qwezo and she proceeded to tell us that it was a "traditional mexican dish with cheeses and spices". We didn't tell her we were from Texas, and we make queso better than that with our eyes closed, but we kept our mouths shut...

Needless to say, we didn't try Mexican food again until we were back in the US. :)
