[She of the refined palate]
Jan. 23rd, 2022 08:40 amYesterday I went to Wahoo’s which has Mexican food.One of their occasional menu items is albondigas soup.
(Sidebar:I used to LOVE the albondigas at a certain restaraunt but they went out of buisness.I can still remember what that tasted like.Tons of flavour, something different in each bite(and I recall lots and lots of cilantro which I know not everyone likes but I love it.And the meatballs were SO good.It was a close second to the clam chowder for my favourite soup that this place made. I could write whole posts about my love of clam chowder-I consider myself an expert)
Sidebar the second:There is a Mexican food place near my house that makes the best albondigas.It was within walking distance of my house but then it moved.And I haven’t been there since and I hear that the food is not as good.
Fast forwards to yesterday:I ordered the albondigas at Wahoo’s. I also added on some rice(their rice is really good) and had that as a side of sorts.
Real talk?I would give that albondigas soup a 6 out of 10.It wasn’t nearly as good as what I have had in the past.The broth was really good.Lots and lots of flavour, what I would expect, etc. Not as many veggies but what they had was good. The thing that I didn’t care for was the the meatballs.They were stodgy. The sort of meatballs that are in albondigas should almost fall apart.And soak up the flavour from the broth as well.The meatballs I had yesterday were a LOT of filler.I liked the broth, and I would order it again but I’d just take the meatballs out, as insane as that sounds.)
