Food/Drink Personal Quirks

[aboutime]

We miss Philadelphia Scrapple, and Lancaster county Homemade Schmorgesborg (sp) ALL YOU CAN EAT meals, Pot Roast, Potatoes, Fresh veggies, and Homemade Coleslaw,
and SHOO-FLY PIE as desert with Ice cream. Can't forget the Giant Pretzels with mustard.

How do you prefer to cook crab cakes? In the oven or sautéed in a pan? Or both? I've tried all 3 ways, and none really seemed ideal.

I prefer sauteed in a cast iron skillet keeps the heat even and gives better crust.

Thanks! About how long do you coook them?

Aside from the fact Guy Fieri looks like a reject from a 1770-ish Peter Max poster, this dude is weird. He'll eat snails, cow balls, raw fish, octopus, squid and other totally weird crap, but whimpers like a toddler at eggs.

Hey Guy ... Vanilla Ice called from the 80s and wants his hair back.

You sit there and hush.

I am guessing this stuff is worse than ketchup on eggs or pineapple on pizza ?

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.

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

[SassyLady]

There's nothing secret about it, bubba!

Anyone that doesn't like ketchup and miracle whip has been outed... and I can confirm she is repulsed by BOTH!

Plus, she married me for some reason.

Miracle Whip is disgusting. Catsup maybe on fries ... I personally like salsa on my fries.

[SassyLady]

Nowadays it's only made in Monroe and Shullsburg, Wisconsin, so it's rare to find these days. I'm about an hour from there so they have it in these parts. Makes great catfish bait, too.

Linburg is for putting on exhaust of vehicle of husband's ex wife.

Yeah, I caught an episode last night with him in a tee. You must be slumming these days if you call those t-rex appendages hanging out his sleeves "arms" .

And what do you have going on?

It sure ain't that fake tan he sports. I actually drive my truck places instead of from the back of a bigger truck to the restaurant, and the tan is real. Pretty sure my hair (or lack thereof) doesn't look like I stole it from Spencers.

I never did think green was your color...

Interesting thread ! I've only just caught up with it.

I'm British .. so it might not be any surprise to anyone that I'm a fan of fish & chips. Or, steak & chips (the thicker and juicier the cut of steak, the better ...). Sometimes I add slices of some delicious black pudding to the meal, for added spice and fortifying iron content. For those Americans still not clear as to what black pudding is ...

Ah, but, what's my 'quirk' .. ?

Well ... I love garlic. I'm not talking about crushing garlic and having a hint of its taste added to my meal. I'm talking about peeling at least two garlic cloves, and munching through them as part of the meal.

A mouthful of chips, mixed with some battered cod .. then, bite through a garlic clove and munch half of one along with the mouthful of food (then, the other half with the next mouthful). It adds 'kick' to the whole mixture ... adds life to your food. I've got to the stage where I think that no such meal is complete without the cloves to munch through.

I think of eating a raw garlic clove as the food equivalent of a shot of whisky. Brilliant ...
