Editors, please leave the house before deleting articles.

[edit]

Seeing that this article apparently references salsa con queso rather than chile con queso, and that "salsa con queso" redirects to CHEEZ WHIZ makes me think that there are a lot of Wikipedia editors deleting articles when they haven't a clue what the articles are about. Queso fundido is completely different to salsa con queso, and even chile con queso and salsa con queso have some distinctions that would warrant separate articles.

Bottom line... I REALLY doubt that Wikipedia is running out of hard drive space. Beyond that, these articles are valid and necessary... I'm sure there are lots of unneeded articles here, but I'd really prefer that articles not be deleted just because some editors haven't got out and experienced life, food, etc. Please make a point to shut off the computer once in a while and emerge from your parents' basement... Wikipedia as a whole will surely benefit.

Chili or Chile

[edit]

I see it used inconsistently within the article. Shouldn't we pick one and stick with it? (This obviously after taking translation into account.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.127.102.49 (talk) 07:20, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Long, long ago, before people starting talking about TexMex cuisine, there were a few Mexican restaurants around. They served chili con carne and chili con queso, both were bean-based, one had meat the other had cheese. Nobody served chips and salsa back then. It was like a chicken enchilada or a cheese enchilada, just substituting cheese for meat. I suppose not many people remember those early days. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.218.152.206 (talk) 16:20, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Texas

[edit]

"Everyone" knows this dish originated in Texas. Yet the article needs a citation or two to a verifiable source for that origin. Geoff Who, me? 01:11, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, some people believe that it originated in Little Rock, Arkansas. A local restaurant allegedly first served it there in 1935 and they now host the World Cheese Dip Championship every year in Little Rock. Just go to cheesedip.net and see for yourself.

Trying to add regional names

[edit]

down in philly, we call this stuff chungus [seriously where do you think the meme comes from] or nightmare sauce and almost never queso or chile con queso. can this be reflected in the article? i tried to edit but it wouldn't let me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.185.218.21 (talk) 03:53, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, do you have any reliable sources (see WP:RS) for the Philadelphia version and its name? Is "chungus" made with the same ingredients as chile con queso? Everyone knows about "wit whiz" for their cheesesteak, but are there published write-ups for "chungus" or "nightmare sauce" as there are for cheesesteak?
