Never mind what I said about the käsespätzle in Germany being the cheesiest thing I’ve ever eaten — it’s already been superseded by this insane bowl of French onion soup from Au Pied de Cochon in Paris.
This is a sentence I never thought I’d say, but this bowl of French onion soup might have been too cheesy. I know, impossible, right? But the layer of cheese was a solid inch thick. It was nuts.
It was so incredibly cheesy that, about halfway through, I realized that I was going to run out of soup before I ran out of cheese. So I started eating enormous mouthfuls of pure cheese just to try to balance things out.
Don’t get me wrong, it was still quite tasty — in particular, the broth had an addictively intense flavour — but I think the phrase “too much of a good thing” probably applies here.
