CrownBariDad Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 The Wife just started cooking with PC and when the tour headed east she finally found her favorite breakfast food at a local grocery -- grits. She cooked up a "mess of 'em" (as we say) and had them out for breakfast. Yes -- lots of puzzled looks from the California folks, but there were some brave souls who tried them and got hooked. The staff, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I think of fake cheese, I think of Cheez Whiz (ugh) - even though I had eaten plenty of Kraft singles in my youth. I suppose Mac and Cheese is fake as well - had a lot of that. There was one time at Laguardia Airport where I came off a flight and had to wait for hours for a connecting flight only to have very few food options in the terminal (pre-renovation). There was a fast food stand with one of those rolling hot-dog oven things. Few hot-dogs were left but I was so hungry. I asked for one. The person behind the counter asked me if I would like some American cheese on it. It sounded so good in my famished state. He then brought the hot-dog on a bun to a nozzle and squirted liquid cheese on it. My stomach turned. It was so disgusting to look at. I had to concentrate to prevent myself from projectile vomiting in Laguardia airport. I paid for it and just left it on the plate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpbobcat Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) The "blue baloney" reminded of this : Years ago I worked at a Snack Bar in an S.S. Kresge . The hot dogs we served came in an unmarked white box. One time,when I put them on the steam table,some of them got green stripes, where the steam touched them. Called my Manager over. He said it wasn't a problem,just put that side down on the bun. Nah,when he left,they went in the trash.

The staff, too. No grits & I'm from the South; texture issue. Prefer hash browns especially the Waffle House flavor. 🙌 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I got older my body decided that any processed meat would result in an Academy Award winning performance of Krakatoa, Pompeii, Mount Saint Helens and Mount Pinatubo - combined. So I have to abstain. This means I would probably be able to march Bridgemen because popcorn doesn't bother me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
