Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
but only on mediocre Chain store pizza.
not on good local or homemade or good Chicago deep dish

I've been doing oatmeal for breakfast for years and have tried it a lot of different ways.
right now I'm into adding a nearly black banana, 2 table spoons of peanut butter, a dab of honey and hits of ginger and cinnamon.

A Sandwich I've been eating is toasted wheat bread with melted butter, mayo, bacon and mashed avacodo.

as far as fruits go i've never understood people who put salt on watermelon.
it's like putting salt on strawberry ice-cream, to me it makes no sense.

Sacrilege! No salt on the watermelon? I'd as soon not eat it without salt.

I always KNEW something was wrong with you.

[Dis]

So that's where you went wrong...all that damn salt has jacked with yer brain. One does not salt fruit.

If you're from the South, you salt your watermelon. I never heard of eating it without salt.

Salt and pepper cantaloupe. Tomatoes. Y'all Yankees just don't know what's good.

V-8 is gay? Must be a yankee thing.

THAT is NOT a taco. A taco is carne guisada or carne asada with some pico de gallo and red or habanero sauce on it in a rolled flour tortilla.

Sour cream is authorized on maybe half a bake potato once a decade IF none of your friends are looking. Talk about losing man points. Geez.

No way. Sour Cream is mandatory on nachos, tacos/burritos, baked potatoes, and Borscht.

Anyone ever have Borscht? It's an old-school peasant soup from Russia / Europe made from beets that probably wasn't very good - but when it's kicked up a notch with beef and served with a dollop of sour cream it is heavenly! I've never really cared for beets, but that stuff is amazing.

Ketchup is for women, children & old folks. Tabasco or salsa verde is the only thing to use

Blasphemy!! -5 man points for you.

I put tobasco on my eggs. Or Louisiana Hot Sauce. On occasion. Usually just salt and pepper. I fry them in butter instead of oil.

I won't touch ketchup.

-5 man points.

Here's another one though and I KNOW this is southern. I won't touch mayonnaise. It's Miracle Whip all the way.

+5 man points. You're still negative though, from that whole breakfast watermelon thing. Salting watermelon??

No one?

I steer clear of kimchee after hearing a few horror stories involving explosive diarrhea and vomiting. They were very funny stories, but not something I wanna experience.

People who get dressed up, go to a restaurant, and order meatloaf. WTF is up with THAT? Wasting time -- getting ready and driving -- for a gut bomb.

"I'll have the ribeye, medium rare, steamed asparagus and a baked potato."

"and for you, sir?"

"Oh, I'll have the MEATLOAF and I want a fresh bottle of ketchup to drown it in, thanks."

We'll sure be hanging out lots in the future.

When I'm out on the road, I order a lot of that kind of stuff. I really start craving homestyle meals... Sharon has spoiled me something fierce.

I'm kinda guilty of something like this. I love liver & onions but the Lady has decreed that she will NOT cook it, nor will it be cooked in the house.

So if we do go out, that might be a plan for me.

Yuck... liver and onions makes me queasy just thinking about that awful smell.

I'm sure I've mentioned it before... but growing up out in the boonies we used to eat oatmeal every day. I loathe it.

I remember sitting at the breakfast table glaring back at that stupid Quaker with his cheery blue eyes. He's the devil.

You need professional help. Maybe even an exorcism.

Anyone know a good priest we can dispatch?

I'm thinking your wife needs the professional help.

I'm thinking your wife needs the professional help.

You put salt on fruit, and he/she/THEY need professional help/ **SIGH**

AUGHHHHH!!! nooooooo!
When I went to Germany for the first time, my maternal grandmother served my sister and I borscht. It was DISGUSTING! Mostly the broth, which was thin and sour. The beef was a poor cut. The veggies were OK.
When I expressed my disgust, my grandmother laughed and said it was about all they had to eat during WW2. Some people gathered up the remains of whatever vegetables they could find, throw in tree bark for season and cook it with water and dirt (yes, dirt).

You put ketchup on hot dogs. You buy a Dodger Dog at the baseball game, you put ketchup on it. No chili, no onions, no mustard. KETCHUP!

Salt on watermelon? None of my family did that and they grew up in Dallas. You eat melon with NOTHING on it.

When my mom and dad eat fried or scrambled eggs, they put salsa on it. Lots of salsa.
You can put salsa on pretty much everything.

My daughter once had a crush on a guy and went on a lunch date with him. Found out he was a vegetarian. She ordered a steak sandwich and he left.

Song by R. Wylie Hubbard -- We Ain't from Dallas, we're from Texas". Besides, I learned to eat watermelon from my hillbilly relatives in AL, not Tx.

And ketchup on a hot dog means the dog gets it. Matter of fact, a hot dog period means the dog gets it.

Totally agree with this ... I even put salt on grapefruit....no pepper though.
