I'm a true southerner, but I've never understood grits. Give me eggs and hashbrowns and leave me happy.

Mmmm, cold meat loaf. Thick sliced with a generous amount of catsup/ketchup. On whole grain bread.DukieInKansas wrote:A little rum in the whipped sweet potatoes is good, too!

When I make whipped sweet potatoes, I roast them first rather than boil them, then pull off the skins and whip to a fair the well. Add a little orange juice as the liquid when whipping... very tasty!TNTDevil wrote:I'll champion the hate of the following:
Those effing sprouts. Slimy little buggers.
Meatloaf... no thanks. It began as a means to stretch hamburger (before the days of "Hamburger Helper") into a "meal". Well, I'm down with Wilson, better uses for ground beef/bison. My problem with meatloaf is the same as... (see below).
Something for which I did not care (but, I've only had it once) grilled wild boar. Not. Good.
Another thing, I've tried, tried, tried and, alas, failed to like- Mango. I realize it's the "darling" of foodies but, I just do not get the taste.

As for meat loaf, I like it! Cold meat loaf sandwiches are even better!
I'm an (dis)honorable mention Suthner and I like grits, especially with a pat o' butter, a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper. Must be my wife's influence. None of that instant $h!t either.CameronBornAndBred wrote:I'm a true southerner, but I've never understood grits. Give me eggs and hashbrowns and leave me happy.

Topped with Bert's Chili, of course. ;)CameronBornAndBred wrote:Give me eggs and hashbrowns and leave me happy.

I better run and get a zocor if I think about the cheesecake any more.

Good stuff. Don't like the anise flavor but gimme a good nutty biscotti, with or without chocolate, Ymm.Lavabe wrote:Biscotti.
I've never had meatloaf that tastes like meatballs. If I had, I'd like it.Lavabe wrote:Do the anti-meatloafers dislike meatballs as well?![]()
And please... let's not get into that discussion about meatballs in grape sauce. ;)
Agreed. Grits must not be instant, but the real kind.

I love pork rinds, especially the hot & spicy ones. And ditto as well to Usul's comment about meatballs and meatloaf...they're not the same thing.devildeac wrote:Word.Lavabe wrote:Pork rinds.
ok ok, I gotta ask. Do they taste differently? Does gator tastes differently, greatly or subtle, from Croc??wilson wrote: Exotic foods I've had:
-alligator: good
-crocodile: rather chewy and not as good as gator
Would rattler taste differently than say, viper or moccassin?wilson wrote: -rattlesnake: it was sausage, and it was fine
How far off do they taste from wild turkey, or perhaps pheasant or duck?wilson wrote: -ostrich meatballs: not my favorite
-ostrich steak: delicious
I cannot imagine, or even closely guess what Camel tastes like. Water Bison, lion maybe? lol as if I knew what they tasted like!! Mwilson wrote: -camel: tough and not particularly flavorful
I've never tried wild turkey. I'll have to look into joining a hunting party sometime, bag me a pair of wild turkeys and grill 'em up and give 'em a go!wilson wrote: -wild turkey: agreed with windsor; much more intense flavor than domesticated, though I like both
Yes, they taste different. Gator tastes different from croc. It has more flavor and is more tender in my assessment.knights68 wrote:ok ok, I gotta ask. Do they taste differently? Does gator tastes differently, greatly or subtle, from Croc??wilson wrote: Exotic foods I've had:
