It is an everyday routine to get a thick cup of hot chocolate with a few slices of Queso Compasigna, which means country or rustic cheese (the closest comparable cheese would be a mild mozzarella for us). The idea is you break up the cheese and put it into your hot chocolate. As the cheese melts partially, you eat it with a spoon. Sounds strange, but I&#8217;ve been assured that it is actually wonderful.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a <a href=\"http:\/\/cooking.stackexchange.com\/questions\/30475\/hot-chocolate-and-cheese-colombian-special\" target=\"_blank\">recipe<\/a> for the chocolate concoction edited from Seasoned Advice:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bring about 2 cups (about 8&ndash;10 oz) of water to a boil, with 3&ndash;4 bars of Colombian chocolate bars (Sol or Luke) and 1&ndash;2 cinnamon sticks.<\/li>\n<li>As the mixture works up to a boil, whisk the chocolate bars and add 2 cups of milk.
