I'm disappointed with this recipe. The dip was too smoky and it didn't have much flavor.

This dip is not worth the effort. It's bland and boring.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dip turned out too runny. I had to add more breadcrumbs to thicken it up.

This dip is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.
