The Perfect Party Dip

Today my son turned 5 and out of the vast quantities of weird and wonderful foods that arrived on the party table for 50 adults and children - this ended up being my favourite. I must confess I didn't take this photo, I found it on the interweb to give a good idea as to what the finished product looks like, but it will be replaced soon when next I make my favourite party dip.

This dip works really well with anything from celery/carrot sticks to plain crackers or pita strips and still tastes great hours after it's been removed from the oven.

1 big fat round loaf of bread(white or brown)

1 bag frozen spinach defrosted and drained

1 tsp crushed garlic

1 tsp curry powder

2 tubs cream cheese

2 onions finely chopped

3 spring onions finely chopped

1 cup grated cheese

1 cup mayonaisse

Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Cut the top off the loaf of bread(as in a lid that you will place back on top when cooking the bread) and scoop out the inside soft bits leaving the crust to form a shell. Mix all the remaining ingredients and spoon into the loaf. Place the lid on top and bake for 2 hours. Serve warm with your favourite dipping vegetables/breads/crackers.
